Personal Menu setting 5D3/1D

[Paul Parker]

Hi guys probably know this answer but previously on my 5D3 i had a menu option i could alter and it was a time saver. I could press delete on a picture - The dialog could appear and the confirm delete dialog box would ALREADY be selected so pressing the SET button confirms my choice.

So in theory pressing two buttons is quicker than the default ... Delete button scroll to delete button and then pressing the SET button.

I've sold my 5D3 now so cant copy the menu but does anyone know if this option is even available.... on the 1D3 or 1D4

It was a handy feature or is there an alternative that you know and i don't? - I even liked the RATING system on the 5D3 coming across into the computer but not available in the older 1D3 / 1D4

What you're talking about is the Default Erase Option, which is Custom Function 3.2.
Here's what it says on page 326 of the 5D Mk III user manual:


This function is NOT available on the 1D Mk III or the 1D Mk IV, but it was introduced on the 1D X.
