There are many menu pages on the 50d which cover a wide range of settings. I use some of these much more frequently than other and it would be a real pain to have to dig through the menus to find those settings every time. Thankfully Canon created an additional menu category called My Menu. This is a blank menu and you can put your most frequently used items in to my menu. Furthermore, you can choose an option relating to My Menu which means that you ALWAYS go to My Menu when the menu button is pressed. You can still get to the other menus but you start in My Menu. The below YouTube video explains how to set this up.
For now I am using the following in My Menu. I will edit this post should I change them in the future:
- Mirror Lockup
- Erase Images
- Flash/Speedlite Control
- Shutter Button/AF-ON
- Camera User Settings
- LCD Brightness
I have configured my Func. button operate my Exposure Comp/AEB settings via C.FnIV.7 option 2 to allow me to take HDR sequences more easily. I have also set my Exposure Bracketing sequence to option 1: -, 0, + as this seems more logical to me.
