It is a very unusual experience - beside Pentax gear I have used EOS
cameras for many years now and have never experienced anything like
wiping of custom setting when the battery is changed. Custom Function
in EOS cameras stay as you set them until you clear them. It would be
absurd to design cameras where you need to reset CFs each time you
change the battery.
