Back button on focus 6D MarkII

[rdixit]

How do I set up back button focus in the 6D Mark II? I have a lot of instructions on BBF for the 6D, nothing for the 6D MarkII.

I am scrolling to C.FunIII. Then I get a series of pictograms, and I have no idea what to do to set up BBF. I am having trouble understanding which pictogram means what.

I read all the post's threads. The pages identified were 500 and 501. Not 497, a more logical starting point.

Gee, look at that.  Page 497 looks just like the screenshot that the OP posted, which is exactly what the OP does not understand.  The pictograms are not explained anywhere on that page.  Pages 500 and 501 explain which pictograms to adjust for BBF.  Thank-you.

I see your point even tho the posting didn't have the entire manual page. I guess my thought is that there was a lot of wasted space with very little info imparted, whereas, a simple walk thru would've done the trick.

The [Shutter] button needs to be “Metering”.

The [AF-ON] button needs to be “Metering and AF Start”, which is seems to be the factory default.  This is also the default setting for the [Shutter] button.

If you cannot understand that, then you need to contact Canon Support so that they can walk you through it.

If you have instructions for the 6D, then use those.  The major difference is where to find the menu, which you seem to have found.

Contact Canon Support.

I have posted the settings at least twice. Looking at your screenshots, you obviously know how to change the settings.
