Custom Dials - what do YOU do with it?

I have C1 set up for a monthly meet. Manual mode, compared to my typical usage outdoors of Av, auto ISO and one-shot focus. This is because the light conditions are constant, but with high contrast nightclub lighting which confuses the metering.

Shutter speed 1/30, Aperture f/2.8, ISO 12800, used with my 50/2.5 macro and 24/2.8 IS and AI servo focus.

C2 is set to black and white, but I often repurpose this of other things.

The 6D doesnt have a C3 :'(

... and 60d/70d are just graced with one single C setting which is really limiting.

But if you're up to the coding task, you can easily add numerous other C modes with Magic Lantern on a key press. I've done it for myself, but the module isn't ready for release and I have no time or interesting in polishing it up enough, esp. the GUI takes a lot of work. But as it's essentially just changing settings, ML can do it.
