Canon EOS R10 Custom Functions Menu tab missing

[lucy3]

I am seeing the manual and tutorials which display a Custom Functions menu tab, but mine just has the Camera, AF, Playback, and Tools. It is missing the Custom Functions and Star one which are shown in the manual.

I need the Custom Functions tab to retract the camera lens, which is not retracting.

Which mode are you in? Long shot, because I don't own the R10, but you may need to be in Av, Tv, etc. before those menus will be available.

@Newton.  I agree.  Any mode except +A should yield the alternate menus.

Wow thank you, I see the menu in other settings now! I have the Retract Camera Lens on power off enabled, but the lens is still not retracted all the way. Is that supposed to happen?

Awesome, thank you! I see the menu in other settings now and have the Retract Camera Lens on power off enabled, but the lens is still not retracted all the way. Is that supposed to happen?

Greetings,

What lens are you using on the camera?

So it is retracting, just not all the way parked? As Rick asked, we need to know which lens you are using and if adapted (RF=>EF), which adapter.

It is the lens that just came with the body, not a separate lens. Is that the same for everyone?

The EOS R10 is an interchangeable lens camera so your lens is removable and you can use other RF lenses. The procedure for detaching and attaching lenses starts on page 62 of the advanced users manual. Since it is mirrorless, it's commonly referred to as a "MILC" (Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera). As best I can tell, the only lenses that come with your R10 as a "Kit" are the RF 15-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and the RF 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM. Since these are zoom lenses, I don't think the camera can retract them like on some prime lenses.

NOTE: Prime lenses are non zoom lenses that have a fixed focal length, like35mm, 50mm, 100mm, etc. Some of the primes will extend the lens barrel for focus, and that is what the "Retract lens on power off" is for on your R10.

Look on the front of your lens for your lens info.

I also recommend downloading and studying the "advanced" user manual. I also like to buy books by reputable authors to supplement the manuals, but the R10 is so new, I doubt there are many out yet.

I know it's tough learning all of this stuff, but it will all come together... I promise 🙂

Happy shooting!
