"Movie Button" a Pain in the Butt!

Mar 5, 2012

Does anyone besides myself find they're frequently inadvertentally hitting the darned "movie button"? I hate the placement of this thing. I NEVER shoot video with either of my NEX's but this thing is always getting pressed. Is there any way of just locking it out entirely?
