I have a new M6 Mark II that overall is working great. However, I’ve noticed that settings are intermittently getting spontaneously changed.
I've had mine almost three years, and I started seeing this only recently, with the front dial (the one around the shutter button).
I went as far as disabling this button when shooting, and that has helped. I still see unintended changes when reviewing photos, which confirmed for me that the front dial is doing something funky.
Remove the battery first !
Take a vacuum cleaner hose to the button.
Spin the dial and vacuum then do some more. Lots of times.
Then take some rubbing alcohol on a paper towel or q tips and clean the shutter button and the ring dial.
Then drop a drop of rubbing into the space between the shutter and ring dial and spin the ring dial lots of times.
Vacuum and spin a few times then let it sit in the dry box a few days.
Take it out, spin the dial a few times, put the battery back in and try it ?
Thanks for the suggestion! Makes sense that some gunk or other stuff could be causing this, and hopefully it's cleanable. Your question mark makes me ask ... is this something you tried before?
I'd love to go and do this, but the issue is not reproducing for me right now. I'll have to wait until it starts happening again.
Yes I have cleaned buttons and switches and such before. Not on a M6II though.
I don't think it will hurt anything cleaning it like this.. I would be very careful not to get much alcohol down in there.
If it does not work then I guess the camera would need to come apart.
