Where am i doing wrong when trying to program waypoints with the remote control (with the CH7 toggle switch) during a manual run because i have the confirmation on MP that the toggle switch is working but actually nothing is happening no waypoint recorded no sound heard.

So does anyone actually use this function with a multirotor or plane? I am using version 3.5 on a multi-rotor and I would like to use the function to set waypoints to program a route then fly the mission and operate the camera. It will be a really good option to use when I am planning a mission because I am a single operator and it can be a bit hard to fly and aim the camera when trying to get the best angle. I appreciate your help Thomas I know how knowledgeable you are with Mission Planner. Also do I need to be in a particular mode for multi-rotor?

@Horatiu,
What version of the ArduPilot firmware are you running?
If you are running ArduRover firmware you have to be in the Learning Mode to capture waypoints with the CH7 toggle switch.
I do not know what mode you have to be in for ArduPlane or ArduCopter firmware.

I have made the update to ArduRover 2.50 now, (i have a large rover, actually a small ATV with a 50cc gas engine) and i am in "learning mode" confirmed by Mission Planer but switching the toggle switch on CH 7 does nothing, i can see in calibrating radio window that the toggle switch is working on CH 7 but nothing else.
I have set CH7_OPTION to "Learn Waypoint" and RC7_FUNCTION set to "disable".
Best regards,
