OP here again. This has been a very interesting discussion, but I’m fairly certain that the spontaneous setting changes I’ve had aren’t related to the buttons or dials.

Do you mean this happens when the camera is just sitting there, without being handled?

They affect different settings at different times, and include settings that I haven’t programmed and would be complicated to accidentally modify (like changing the aspect ratio).

One of the first respondents raised the possibility that this could be software related, but I have the latest software installed.

Seems unlikely, but it could be -- maybe there is still some erroneous or ghost button/dial/touch input that is synthesized and causes software to be confused. The input may be spontaneous and thus not obvious.

It sounded like some others have noticed random changes similar to mine, so I’m wondering if anyone has had software problems, or has found a way to solve this.

Thanks again for your ideas!
