C1/2/3 slots

[rfdesigner]

I was having fun playing flash games last night, and I started to want more user defined configuration slots.

I have the 2 C1/2 slots which I use for "landscape" and "kid chasing" plus I tend to use the M mode for flash use, but I find I have to be quite careful as I can end up inheriting settings if I've been playing astro games or other things.

I realised I could do with several C settings, the question is, am I the only one.. do we all wish for a dozen user defined configs?.

IF you could choose, how many would you like?

i think canon could do a firmware to give us more custom slots, if your cunning with the set up you could have up to 16 custom settings, but i would prefer extra C slots

Three is generally good for me, in a given situation. But I shoot in different situations, so I have a few sets of three. A set for people, a set for birds, a set for landscapes, etc. I keep multiple configurations on CF cards in various photo bags (a great use for those old, 'small' CF cards), and load them as needed (thanks to the 1-series capability to save the camera configuration to a card).

go on, cunning is where I'm most comfortable, how does one do this on a 6D?
