Re: M6 Mark II spontaneously changing settings

My experience with problems like that has been mostly the touch screen.  Are you sure it's not that?  I don't have it in hand, but I think maybe it can happen from any display, or the display can even turn on at a touch??  I forget the many ways in which this can happen.  One way to find out is just to disable the touch screen from the menu.  If you still have the problem, then the touch screen isn't the cause.

The other way is to accidentally change it from one of the buttons.  The Dial Function button was a prime offender, because I never knew what function it was set for.  So I just disabled the multi-function aspect, and now it just controls the focusing mode.  But I also find it easy to occasionally use the wrong button or not be where I thought I was in the menu -- although I don't do that much any more.  This whole paragraph is about user errors, although they can be easy to make at times.
