240: Settings change themselves?

Recently I started a new B&W series, so went into the menu which I haven't visited in a long time - to DNG+JPG fine and film mode to B&W to get a preview.

 

Running through the menu I noticed a lot of settings were not right:

 

Metering not classic / center

Lens recognition Auto - I've had that set to Off since M9 (everything I print is from DNG anyway)

Self timer @ 12 secs (!?)

 

Several more also needed to be put right - I didn't make note of them all

 

FW:  2.0.3.0.  Battery @ 90%+

 

Any ideas / comments?

 

Not a big deal, but now I'll want to check 1st when heading out.  A nuisance - and an unfortunate loss of confidence

Happened to me with various cameras. Did you set some user profiles through the "SET" menu? If not, you may wish to do it and to save your profiles on your SD card and your PC as a precaution.

At least I'm being singled out!

 

I imagine if I can save it to the chip, can also save to computer and then install on other chips

 

Not bad, thanks for the tip!

 

I'll read more in the manual...

It's just a file called "Profiles.M". You will find it on your SD card after saving profile(s) through "User Profile" / "Save as Profile" in the "SET" menu. This file will be erased when formatting the card so it may be prudent to save it to an hard disk or other media.

Did you recently upgrade the firmware by any chance? Doing that will set the camera back to factory defaults.
