Reprograming the FN button

[Cartaufalous]

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm loving my new Q so far. Still having some problems changing settings though. For example, how do I reprogram the FN button to do something useful, such as to switch between focus modes, or activate the self timer? I do white balance in post, so I never need to change it in the camera. But so far, whatever settings I change, the button stubbornly continues to open the useless white balance menu. Does anyone remember how to change this?

I don't have a Q but if you read page 157 of the instruction manual it says:

1. Press and hold the FN button

2. Select the desired function/function group in the sub-menu

I would try that...

Looking in Menu Customize Control for the Fn button allows one to select or deselect which functions are available when you push and HOLD the Fn button. A simple push of the Fn button causes whichever function you last chose to be made active again. Such as timer: 2 sec,12 sec. x to cancel.

Push Fn and HOLD is indeed the trick.

Thanks for this. Wasted minutes trying to reset and get rid of timer. Now replaced with crop options.
