ISO selection has been dropped from the M-Fn mode on the M-Fn button! Why would they do that?
Is there a way to add it back in the dial function menu of the M-Fn button (as is standard on my R5 bodies)? This is extremely important for making ISO and other adjustments quickly in professional (or amateur) situations. Using that little touch screen ISO icon undermines the professional aspect of this great camera. Perhaps this can be addressed in the next (asap) firmware update.
In the meantime, I've temporarily assigned ISO the light button on the top of the camera though I would much prefer to match my R5m2 with my R5 bodies to use the more efficient dial function setting on the M-Fn button.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

That's strange, I can change the ISO using the M-Fn button on my R5 Mark II. It's below the Exposure Compensation setting. The camera is in Av mode, if that makes any difference.

Is ISO control already assigned to another control or dial?

Waddizzle, it should be. By default, it's the Quick Control 2 dial, just like on your R6 II. That is one thing I really love about the R5 and R6 series, ISO control is right above where you rest your thumb, and you can change it with a few clicks of that dial. No buttons to press, just turn the dial.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the R5 mark 2 (not the R6m2) and the fact that when using the M-Fn button (which is next the the shutter release) while assigned to "Dual Func.", the ISO adjustment, which is one of the five adjustments that are standard on R5 bodies (ISO, shutter, one shot/servo, color balance, and +/-) is suddenly missing on the R5 mark 2.

Hello, eye4light!
Just to be clear 😊, I was referring to the R5 II but referenced the R6 II for Waddizzles benefit. I understand it's just a matter of preference, but I prefer ISO in its default position, the QC 2 dial.
On my R5 II, ISO is a selection when the M-Fn button is pressed and easy to get to, but not as fast as just turning the QC 2 dial. I guess if I needed quick access to the other selections it provides, I might use it [M-Fn] more, but I'm pretty well set when I start to shoot. However, I totally understand your preference and am happy that you are able to bend it to your will.

...and I must hasten to add that using the M-Fn button on the R5 is the absolute fastest way the adjust all five of those functions while barely moving your trigger finger. At this point I assume that someone made a mistake in removing this essential feature, thereby making it functional less pro-friendly.

Hey Larry, thanks for posting. Just to get us all on the same page, you might like to try this - go to Customized Controls, choose Customize Buttons, scroll down 8 clicks to choose M-Fn, then choose Dual Func and set. Then press the M-Fn button and you should see all five operations (but without ISO in this case), and not just ISO alone as your photo indicates. This should work in all modes except A+. Since I rarely use the tiny light button next the the screen on top, that’s where I have temporarily assigned ISO. Obviously this is only a second best solution.

I FOUND IT! It's a sub-menu in M-Fn. Thanks all for your efforts.
