By disabling autofocus here and leaving it to a separate button, however, you have more say over exactly when the camera focuses and when the shutter is released.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever had your camera refocus when you want to capture an image, perhaps because it was distracted by an object entering the frame, or if your camera failed to focus at a critical moment, focusing in advance is a good idea. As the shutter-release button is no longer in charge of autofocus, the image will be captured at the exact moment it is fully pressed.<\/p>\n<p>Some photographers find this useful for \u2018focus and recompose\u2019, where you only need to press the back button once to lock focus on a static subject and can then reframe the image for a better composition.<\/p>\n<p>Others rely on it for capturing a subject that\u2019s only likely to be in the desired focus point for a brief moment (a person surrounded by a frame of some kind or crowd, for example).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also useful in situations that are typically problematic for autofocus systems, such as low-contrast subjects and in very bright light.<\/p>\n<p>Most Canon DSLRs have a dedicated AF-On button for this feature, while more junior cameras can have this option assigned to the * button.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Custom quick control<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never used White Balance Bracketing or required fast access to the Auto Lighting Optimizer on the Quick Control screen, you will probably appreciate this option.<\/p>\n<p>Not only can you remove the default options from this screen and replace them with others, but you can also move and resize them.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly useful if you take advantage of your camera\u2019s touchscreen when using this feature, as you can position your most commonly used option within reach of your thumb.<\/p>\n<p>You can even include the date and time here, which you may find useful if you capture events \u2028such as weddings.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_103154&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 570px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103154\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-IV-Custom-Quick-Control.jpg\" alt=\"Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Custom Quick Control\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/03\/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-IV-Custom-Quick-Control.jpg 463w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/03\/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-IV-Custom-Quick-Control.jpg?resize=300,200 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You can remove the default options on the Quick Control screen<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>C1, C2 and C3<\/h2>\n<p>The mode dials on Canon\u2019s EOS cameras \u2028have long sported numbered custom \u2028shooting modes alongside the more conventional exposure options, and these \u2028can be used to adjust the camera to a particular group of settings.<\/p>\n<p>You may find this useful if you frequently \u2028find yourself shooting in similar environments.

At default settings, however, you\u2019re only likely to see a fraction of what can be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>You probably won\u2019t want to enable all the options, but it\u2019s worth considering if you tend to use the viewfinder for composition and frequently find yourself alternating between different focus, metering and burst modes, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>You can even set this to show the Custom Shooting modes described previously, so it\u2019s useful if you switch between these with some regularity, as well as the electronic level, a feature so useful and unobtrusive that some photographers keep it permanently enabled.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_103163&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103163\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Pic_7_Viewfinder-1.jpg\" alt=\"Canon Custom Menu Secrets\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/03\/Pic_7_Viewfinder-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/03\/Pic_7_Viewfinder-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/03\/Pic_7_Viewfinder-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/03\/Pic_7_Viewfinder-1.jpg?resize=562,374 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Some people keep the electronic level permanently enabled in the viewfinder to ensure straight horizons<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>My Menu<\/h2>\n<p>Although the various tabs within Canon\u2019s EOS menu provide a logical segregation of options, the likelihood is that you\u2019ll often be constantly scrolling through ones you never use.<\/p>\n<p>Canon\u2019s long-standing My Menu option presents a solution to this by allowing you to quickly group together your most commonly used settings under a single tab.<\/p>\n<p>This is identified by a green tab at the end \u2028of the menu system that\u2019s marked with a star icon, and there are no restrictions as to where options are placed as you can sort these in your order of preference.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, on models from the EOS 80D upwards, you can even create separate tabs within the My Menu option and rename them as you wish.
