R5 Custom mode and coming back from sleep resets settings to initial from custom mode

[osya_bender]

Here is the use case:

- Set camera to custom mode, say C1 that has shutter speed 1/400 configured for it.

- While in C1 shoot as usual adjusting shutter speed as need, say to 1/125

- Let camera go to sleep

- Wake the camera up

Observe shutter speed is reset to 1/400

I'd expect this not to be the case because letting camera going to sleep and waking it up is not the same (shouldn't be) as turning it off and then on.

If you enable autoupdate for the custom settings it will keep updating it with whatever you choose duting shotting but this kind of defeats the purpose of the custom mode in my opinion, where you are guaranteed to always start from the same set of settings when switch to that mode.

Then they are not designed to do what normal photographers do.

This tells me you don't get it probably because you don't use your camera. No one wants to save the settings to the card because that is not what they are trying to do. They are trying to use the camera. Saving to the card does not allows you to change settings temporarily then move them to something else temporarily and than when you turn the camera off, C1 is recalled.

People use camera gear in many different ways, for many different purposes. I understand that you want to use the camera in a specific way, and I realize that you are frustrated, but emotive statements like this is not helping you, or me.  How people use their cameras does not define them as 'normal' or otherwise and bringing such terms into the discussion with experienced professional photographers who are volunteering to help you is not a positive move.   

If you want to continue to get help from this forum I suggest you start your own thread so that anyone trying to help you will not get a series of confusing posts from different people.

to answer the WHY would we wish to do this, my answer would be "to have different manual setting preconfigured for different purposes" and to change between them by selecting C1,2,3 and setting A,S,ISO, Servo mode and some button configurations all at once, without that you have to go through the menu points one by one, when changing between birding and motor race for example. And this part is working, with the selection of c1,2 or 3 I change the basic configuration with one push of a button if I come from the birds to the race track. This is perfect. the only problem is that in C mode the camera changes the last used settings on its own every time it power cycles and there is no reason for this to be good. If I want to start over with what I expected a good starting point for birding or race, I just select the specific custom mode again. but the camera does so everytime its power state changes and this needs to be disabled. after activating one of the C-modes the camera should work the same way it would in M. Imagine  it to be M1, M2 and M3 modes. why would one want that A,S,iso, AF mode changes when the camera briefly goes to powersave and as soon as the next car or bird comes, you get surprised with changed settings?

I suggest that you contact Canon Support directly and log a job with them.  This forum is run by volunteers, many of whom, like me are professionals.  The thread actually belongs to the original poster but several others have started contributing to it and it responding to replies that are not meant for them.  Added to that one contributor who has a serious attitude problem and has taken to abusing those trying to help.  I, for one will not tolerate that.

So, aa of now, I am suggesting you raise this issue with Canon support directly.  It may be how the camera is configured or it may be a feature that they need to change, but for myself, I think that this has become pointless for us to assist.

I think you are the problem. You can't understand simple examples from 3 different people and are the one that is confused.

[r1ch]

No one is abusing you. If you think they are don't respond to them. And as far as me. You are not helping me, you are part of the problem trying to make this more confusing than it is. This has already been sent to Canon. Nothing has been done.

[Tronhard]

Then I suggest you go somewhere else for support.  This conversation is at an end.

[r1ch]

That is exactly what I am experiencing. Surprise after a minute. Same thing happens with a model. You spend a minute stalking with them or posing with them. Surprise. Terrible system. I did not check it because I have not shot with my old D819 but I am pretty sure it does not work this way as someone else suggestions.

[r1ch]

It is at an end with you, not the other poster and myself.
