This would not be a problem if the camera companies did something I have wished for since about 2010.

You can set the camera settings to something you want to use most of the time and place those settings in a custom setting. You can save those custom settings to your camera's memory card (but formatting the card will erase the settings). The camera also has a two-button reset to factory settings.

It would be really really really helpful if the camera could save the custom settings to flash memory. A two-button reset to USER settings (separate from the two-button reset to factory settings) would restore the camera to your desired default.

Even better, would be a menu item that would reset the camera to user settings whenever the camera is powered up.

Changed your settings for a couple shots? Can't remember which settings you changed? This would cover it. Power off, then on, and you're back to normal.

I was a third shooter at my daughters wedding and always shoot in raw. Even slot II is duplicate in Raw. My camera was unattended at times during setup and somewhere between decorating tables and before the first look and formal shots my cards went from Raw to jpg. Is there any way of switching without going into the menu? Was it a semi sabotage from a photographer "friend"? Has this happened to anyone else?


Funny you should ask. One of my cameras was all of a sudden shooting JPEG. I doubt it made the decision on its own. I must have made the switch accidentally.

Look at the supposition of the OP: the human did nothing wrong, the equipment failed. And yet, some group of humans decided to place a very dangerous button on the body exterior. A danger encountered regularly in the daily discussions of the community. You seemed to have missed the lesson on the importance of the brand of mirrorless full-frame digital camera and how that correlates to success.

In this case the OP probably should have kept his hands off his camera.

True, there are just so many saboteurs lurking about these days. Not to mention gremlins.

Often found on the wings of planes.

Actually, "gremlin" originated as a term for an airplane problem during WW I. At least, that's how I heard it.

Miriam-Webster: " during the World Wars, fighter pilots adopted the fanciful notion that gremlins were responsible for mechanical failures on their planes"
