Unexpected default to jpg

After some light shooting today w my M9M, I uploaded the files to Lightroom and was shocked to find that they were JPGs rather than DNGs. I never shoot jpg, but always shoot raw. 

 

My my only explanation is that I remember accidentally fumbling with the buttons and dial while the M9M was slung across my back. I'm thinking I must have inadvertently set it to JPG. Although it seems unlikely to me my only other explanation is either a bug in the firmware or a defective camera. I've shot digital leicas now for five years, M8, ME prior to this camera and have never had this experience. 

 

Has anyone heard of this w the M9M before? Btw, I'm running firmware 1.008. Is it more likely just user error?

One thing I'm always on guard for with my MM is the ISO changing, usually from the ISO button bumping against my gut when I carry the camera around my neck. I know it shouldn't happen, but it does, usually from 320 to 800. It could happen with the "Set" button on the MM, or you might have accidentally set it to JPEG.

It's only possible if you press the wrong button. As always create a Profile including your .dng preference and save it so that when you have been playing with various buttons (and yes, we all do it) you have your datum point to quickly revert to instead of back tracking through the things you changed (intentional or not).
