Thanks for this. I'm really looking for something quicker than the satandard way - which I suspect isn't available. The equivalent would be assgining a custom button to change focus mode temorarily to Servo - which you can do.

Thanks

Save the camera configuration that you want to use as a custom "C" shooting mode.
