EOS R6 Enabling Touch Shutter

thedanno
Apprentice

I read in the user manual that I should be able to touch the "Touch Shutter" icon in the lower left of the screen to enable/disable this feature.  When I click on that area with touch shutter off it does not enable.  When I go into the menu options and enable touch shutter, it works, but touching the icon to turn it off again only focuses on the area I touch and takes a picture.

Am I misunderstanding the ability to turn this feature on and off using the touch screen?  Are there other settings that are mutually exclusive that would cause this to not work?

Thanks,

Dan

I have other "problem" with the touch shutter. Is there any possible way to switch this off (remove the on/off button from touch screen anyhow) for good?
Main menu > Page 7 > Tocuh Shutter - Disabled works until I touch the icon top left corner on the screen accidentally. 

Hello esox_hu,

There is no way to remove the Touch shutter button totally unless you go to the display that just shows the [Quick Control] screen. You can do that by pressing the [INFO] button. You may need to press that several times to get there. You can disable the on-screen buttons, however. This will disable all of the buttons on the touchscreen though. You can do that in the red camera menu #7 under [Shooting info. disp.]. You would select that and then select [Screen info. settings]. Hit the [INFO-Edit screen] button next. On the [Edit screen 1] page, scroll down and de-select (uncheck) [On-screen buttons].

Thanks a lot John. It can help, even if it does not solve the "whole problem" for me. When I'm on the street in sunlight I won't change my AV settings so many times, so that could work for me. I prefer to set this feature multiple times  on&off rather than taking a bunch of random pictures by touching the screen while walking with my camera.
