Canon 7D Custom Functions

It seems like there are many custom functions and many more combination's. That is good and bad, simply because it is a lot to follow. So I thought I'd start a discussion on just these.

C Fn IV-4 adds an aspect ratio to live view. Since the view finder (VF) also has grid lines, it sure would have been nice to see these added there. Like automatic-adjustable crop marks. From what I see this is only on the screen though in Live View, not the in the VF. However, as I read the notes on manual page 216 it will show through on DPP even if you use the VF, and when you chimp, the playback image on the screen will show them. So that is something I learned reading the manual last night.

Did you realize when you are selecting C.Fn IV - 1 when you highlite a button to program, the camera shows you where that is on the camera, and tells you what the current selection is? I though that was pretty cool.
