Unfortunately no way to lock the buttons.

By your post I'm guessing your hold the camera so that the lower portion of the thumb/ palm is pressing the buttons -- which is easy to happen as the buttons are not recessed below the back surface of the camera.

What I do with the G1 X (and the G15) is to position my thumb on the rear rubber pad and the bottom edge of the camera at the thumb/ hand joint.

For me, this places the lower portion of the thumb/ palm below the rear camera buttons and arches the upper portion of the thumb enough not to press the rear buttons.

However do need to take care while placing thumb the rear rubber pad as not to press the record button.

Cheers,
Jon
