Hi
Trying to reassign M-fn button
To just silent shutter
When I set in camera and close menu it works
As soon as I torn camera off and on it reverts back to Dial Func selection

Keep trying but does it every time

Even if I turn off sone of selections in Dial Func and save when I turn camera back on all off original functions are there again ????
Thanks
Bill

Hey Bill, welcome to the forum.

That will always occur (reverts back) unless you save it as a custom function (C1-C3). I would suggest that you set up your camera as desired, all functions including BBF and other settings you use as primary functions. Once you have that done save it to one of the available custom functions in your menu. There is a link below for additional information if you need it.

When you want to use that set up it turn the dial to that function and you are ready to rock. I have all three of mine set on my R6 MkII, one for wildlife, sports and portraiture.

It sounds like you are trying to change the custom controls while the camera is set to one of the custom shooting modes C1/C2/C3. By default these modes don't automatically save any changes you make to them.

Marc directed you to the relevant part of the manual, but make sure you read the part about Automatic Update of Registered Settings, and probably enable this. Then when you make a change in one of the custom modes then it will be saved.
