biswasg Posted February 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 9, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Received my new SL2 last Wednesday. Still understanding all functions. Am struggling to find a way to customize the two front FN buttons. Not obvious in the manual. Is there a way to assign the User Profiles to a button? I have customized the press of the joystick to AF-L (back-button AF). Is there a way to uncouple AF-L from the shutter button half-press? Is there a way to customize the thumb wheel to maginfy the image on playback instead of the front wheel? Would be intersting to know how SL2 owners have customized their FN buttons and wheels.

Jeff S Posted February 9, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 9, 2020 Just hold the function button down and the options will appear... then scroll and choose one. Simple. Jeff 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple. Jeff Thank you Jeff for the trick. However, it the function is not saved to the button. It ony works once and again comes back to the default setting of magnification!

For joystick focus, camera must first be set to manual mode, then customize joystick to AF-L. Jeff Edited February 9, 2020 by Jeff S Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fn-Button assignment is saved with them, and when you just open the user profiles menu and move away from the "Cancel" icon, the selected profile is applied and your changes are gone. Solution: Setup the camera as you want, including Fn-button assignments and save this as a user profile. You can then recall it any time. Works like a charm for me and I got used to it very quickl. Although I still wish one could delete or move the "Standard" profile out of the way... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now managed to save the change following your instruction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted February 9, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 9, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I skip the user profile. It’s saved just as I indicated as long as you don’t change it again. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
