I think Pye’s referring to the M-Fn button his Mk III? Sadly, it doesn’t exist on lower models. I’ve owned a T3i and a 6D. I don’t think there’s a custom function to test a flash, which could be assigned to another button. Please let me know if I’m wrong; I’d sure love to have that functionality on my 6D!
