Some cameras, the E-M1 comes to mind, have a mean to lock the mode dial in position. I own this camera and the GX7. I cannot fathom how their mode dial could be moved by accident as stiff as they are already without being locked. Then again, I am not a camera designer for a reason, I am not competent for this; neither am I every photographer. So, I wonder what is your position on the locking of the mode dial?

Of course you will tell me which answers I forgot, no?

I can and do lock my mode dial. I have a few different presets created on different positions but I never use any of them. I shoot in full manual 100% of the time. Thus I have locked the mode dial to that position and have not to my memory unlocked it in the last few months.
