R5 Custom Menu Export to R5 MK II

jsk53 — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 18:20:21 GMT

I have two R5's and have the same custom menu settings using the export/import option in the menu. I have an R5 MkII on order and am wondering if I can import the custom menu settings from one of the R5's into the new R5 MkII.

Thanks.

At the moment I expect it will not be possible as the items that can be customised is different for the two different cameras from what I found in the instruction manuals for both cameras posted on the Canon website. Currently only the EOS R5 and EOS R3 support load/save configurations to card, and they are not interchangeable either.

Thanks Brian. I kind of figured even if the R5 MkII has the export/import feature, since the menu choices are different, it wouldn't work. Had to ask the question though.

I got my MkII on Thursday and have been having fun setting up the menu items. I found that the MkII does have the Save/Load cam settings feature. It's on the Wrench, menu 5. I haven't tried it but I assume since the MkII menus list is different than the R5, you probably can't move the R5 menu settings to the MkII. I might try and see what happens, but it will be more fun to set up new ones.

Wondering if there is now a definitive answer to this question?
