C200: Custom Key Layouts

[brettsherman]

I have a very specific question here. But, more broadly what are the custom keys people are finding useful to have on the C200.

My specific question is, there doesn't appear to be a one-button click to switch between AF modes. I want to toggle between Instant-AF and Continuous-AF with a single button click. Right now I have the menu item mapped, and I'm sure I'll get faster. But it takes 4 interactions to make it happen. Am I missing something?

What would also be incredibly useful would be a Push-Auto ISO. When you push it it would alter your exposure with ISO while not changing the iris.

My customizations are Grip #1: Instant-AF, Camera #7: AWB Lock, Camera #11: AF Mode Menu Item. The two I'm most likely to alter in the future are #9:Audio Status and #10: Auto-iris (would love Auto-ISO to replace it)

Button 11 on the front of the camera is one shot-af (which is what I assume you mean by instant af), just leave it on continuous af and then just use that one shot af button when you want to do a quick instant autofocus.

I have remapped my c200 buttons as follows:

Body:

Func (#8) - select AF mode - as I switch fairly often with my shooting style, and have the Func (#1) button on the LCD screen if needed.

(#10) Assigned to Focus Guide Assist - I switched the handle back to Zoom to check focus like my c100s.

On the LCD>

Disp (#2) to Focus Tracking, so that when I move my hand to the LCD, I can hit the button and in the same motion, select what I want the camera for Focus Track immediately.

Handle>

Focus Guide (#1) - changed from focus guide to the zoom function, so that I can check focus when in manual focus mode.
