You've heard about back button focus - and maybe you've used it, but this is the BBF on steroids! 12x that is!
Call me crazy, but this one feature has just sent me over the moon with excitement. Sure, there was customization available on the 5D3 and Canon EOS-1D X Mark II and Canon EOS 7D Mark II and others, but this is just brilliant.
Now, just to set the playing field level, wouldn't it be great if Canon put even more innovation into the menu system? Maybe a GUI like Android or iOS? :)

This is a common question and I should have explained better in the video. Sorry.
IF you have the shutter set to Meter and AF, then to use the BBF on say the AF-On button, you have to HOLD the AF-On button (or * as you mentioned) which will override the settings on the shutter button because you pressed (and held it) first. The shutter button only activates the shutter at this point.
So if you want to be able to truly use the BBF and not have to hold the buttons down continuously, you definitely want to set the shutter button to metering only.

I've just upgraded from a 7D mk II to a 5d mk IV and I've been using the focus Ai servo button assign for two years. This tutorial that you have shared is fantastic!!!! A great upgrade to my shoot style. Now I don`t have to worry if something unexpected comes into scene. Thanks!!!!!

One of the best most epic tutorials I have ever seen anywhere about anything. Canon should pay you for this!

Helpful and informative. I use these focus buttons for wedding photography. Priceless. First kiss - AF single spot single focus then shutter shutter... The couple starts walking up the aisle - hold STAR button expanded focus point and AI SERVO with shutter spam again.

I just bought a Canon 5d Mark IV and the set up was different from the 6d Mark II I previously owned, so was looking for a video showing me how to set up Back Button options. Followed this man's advice and set up my camera like he explained. On the 6d Mark II I could set up the smaller button next to the shutter button to do Auto Focus, but not on the 5d IV. After setting up the 5d IV as the video suggested, I just went out and took a bunch of pics. Wow, great advice and easy to switch some of the options if you are out and about. Thank you for video.

That's great. I knew about the custom mapping, but it's great to realise the Mark IV brings those extra levels of customisation. Really makes the instrument a versatile photographer's tool. Thankyou.

This is what makes a 5dmk4 a true pro camera, designed for the working photographer. I wish Canon highlighted these awesome updates. It is truly remarkable how well canon knows their customers.

This is the first video about the camera where I learnt some new feature about this beauty. Rest all either repeat same old specs and others just keep cursing it for not being a 4K video camera. Thanks for sharing this interesting piece of information. Definitely getting my copy!!

Thanks for your video. Moving up (waaaay up!) from a 6D, there is a lot to learn, espcially with all the AF menus. This was very helpful.

I have had my 7D2 for maybe two or three years now. I thought I had gone through every single setting, but I had never seen this!! Mind blown, as you said! I only wish I could make it switch drive modes too when shifting to AI Servo, that would really perfect this feature!

So good. When I first bought my d5 4 a few months ago I tried watching this and it just went over my head, now it just went right in. This camera is MAD. Totally love it and it's unreal how much stuff it can do

I enjoyed your enthusiasm. I'm excited about it too and am totally sold on making the 5D Mark IV my first full frame body. Thanks.

Oh yeah Mitch, I share excitement. Your enthusiasm is completely understandable. One more solid reason to get the IV.

This setup solved the problem I had: Whenever somebody else tries to take pictures with a back focus camera, they get blurry pictures. Now they have a fair chance. Now I have to try this with the Tamron zoom, if I get faster and exact focus using AE-Servo to get the focus so about there and then nail it with the spot.
