Are custom shooting modes for the R5 II, available separately between stills and movie modes

[petereprice]

Hi,

I'm curious with the R5 Mark II, are the custom shooting modes available separately for stills and movie modes.  For example are C1-C3 available for stills and is another C1-C3 available separately for movie modes?  Or are the custom shooting modes global and ignore the stills and movie switch?  Just trying to wrap my head around how I would use the custom shooting settings.  Ideally I would love to have a set of settings for stills and then separately have a set of movie settings for movie mode that I can recall.  
with my Sony cameras the custome settings are available as separate custom slots in Stills, Movie and Slow Motion modes.  Curious of the R5 Mark II works similarly.

So much good information available in the manual that can be accessed on the Canon support site.

I did read that excerpt but didn’t quite understand if it answered my question to be honest.  However in doing some experimenting I was able to setup independent custom shoot settings between stills and movies.  In other words you have three custom shoot slots for stills and three additional custom shoot slots for movies.  Which is fantastic!

The manual can answer a lot of questions.

The manual wasn’t quite clear to me on how the custom settings worked.  But I did read the manual! 🙂

The EOS R5 Mark II has three custom modes for photo shooting AND three custom modes for movie shooting. They are independent so in effective there are six in total.

When the camera is set to movie shooting mode, the icon for the custom mode changes to include a movie camera symbol to signify this is C1/C2/C3 for movies. 

Also, when you have the camera in still shooting mode, and press the movie record button - with the red dot on it - the camera switches to movie shooting mode and selects the movie C3 mode.

See the first image on this page from the EOS R5 Mark II manual to see the mode icons for stills

See the second image on this page from the EOS R5 Mark II manual to see the different icons for movie custom modes. Also if you expand the note under the image you will see it describes how C3 (movie) mode is used when the movie record button is pressed in still mode.
