Actually you can buy expensive rubber bands.

I would think those free give away advertizing bracelets (like the one for the charity LiveStrong) they pass out at functions everywhere would also do the trick.

This is exactly what you are doing. I've done it myself a few times. Can also happen when you move the camera around taking different shots. With me it will be my left thumb moving the dial when I move the camera to take a different photo or lowering and then bringing the camera back up to my eye..Rich

Yes, it works, but its really just a wrist band.
By 1 Cor 1:18 on May 28, 2012

I bought this band for my 28-135mm Canon lens, I works fairly well and the black blends in well with the lens.
The thing is, all they really are are rubber Wrist Bands that say "Lens Band" on them. When I got it I was disappointed that I had in effect paid 12 bucks(including shipping) for it when I had some laying around the house that I got for free. I actually have a couple that work better.
Nothing against the company, but If you are thinking about buying this lens band, try a rubber wrist band first...

I thought the bands were only around $5.00. The shipping is more than the band? Geeezzzz :lol:

Well, as long as the lens isn't telling you to do awful things like those creepy, scary dolls in the horror movies. :shock:

Stand out from the crowd. Use a different color for each lens.

Never had that happen to me accidentally on any of my lenses. Is the switch loose?

amfoto1 Loc: San Jose, Calif. USA

There are people who do that when they shoot with multiple cameras, so they can quickly identify which is which when shooting fast and swapping back and forth a lot.



Happened all the time to me with certain lenses: AF or IS turned off or settings incorrect. Has happened with camera mode dials and other settings, too. Particularly when shooting with two or three cameras, so that one or two are hanging at my side while moving around.

No, the switches aren't loose or anything. It's just that they protrude a bit and are easily bumped, changing the settings.

The weirdest (and, thankfully, the rarest) have been some settings rather deep in menus that somehow got changed. One time, completely out of the blue, one of my cameras was rather strongly biased toward a magenta tint so that every one of 1200 images made with it that day needed correction (thank Heaven for Lightroom). No idea how that got changed... It takes several steps to get there and I know I wasn't foolin' around in that area of the menu. Oh well, there are always some mysteries in life.

I've got small strips of black gaffer tape on several lenses and a couple cameras rather permanently. It solves the worst of the problems.

I also bitched and moaned for years about how easily certain dials on the cameras I used were bumped into incorrect settings, that the manufacturer finally implemented a simply locking mechanism on more recent models. Now, I don't claim sole credit for getting them to make the change, but I certainly was one of the loudest of a number of cheerleaders calling for some improvement. Manufacturers do listen to their customers sometimes!

Have a similar mechanical problem with my Fujifilm X-E2. I have to locate my gaffer tape.

The focus selection switch sits on the face of the camera, where evidently it remains subject to inadvertent movement that changes the setting.

Jerry, Doesn't the +/- exposure compensation show in your viewfinder? I would think you would see it when you frame your shot. ..... Coot

Edit: Oops, sorry Jerry. Just realized it was Mt's client that had the exposure problem and your's was auto focus. ..... Coot
