thxbb12, you give some good examples. The custom settings example for the Panasonic works the same for Canon. Canon's menu structure has 5 groups: shooting settings (red) playback settings (blue), camera Setup section (yellow), custom functions (orange) and "My Menu" (to group your most used settings in one place, green).

 

You set all the settings on the camera (6D in this case), go to the yellow menu section, 4th yellow tab (Canon divides longer sections in multiple tabs, to avoid having to scroll through menus in search of something), select 4th menu item "Custom shooting mode (C1, C2)". You then get a menu item to register current settings, either in C1 or in C2. Also a menu item to clear either C1 or C2, and a menu item to enable or disable "Auto update" for the settings in C1 and C2. The C1 and C2 modes are on the mode dial on top left on the camera.

 

Simple, well thought out menu and UI.
