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 ?

Got a chance to try this on a M6II that was doing it real bad and it is working right now.
