What are your default settings on your Q?

Indeed, in FW3 you can rename the user settings. !

But still no way to re-function or "shutdown" the video button (perhaps because you need it to install the firmwares?).

With many thousand of photos with my camera now, I may have accidentally hit the red button once or twice when I first got the camera, but not since. It's amusing to me how many people hate the red button. Maybe we just need something about that camera to hate?

-  single point AF 

 

-  nearly always ISO1600

 

-  usually -1/3 exposure compensation, sometimes -2/3

 

-  thumbwheel disabled

 

-  electrical tape to lock the diopter wheel

 

-  manual aperture (usually f/5.6 or f/2)

 

- function wheel = exposure comp

 

- electrical tape flap over the eye sensor when I want the LCD off for discretion
 

Single point AF is Spot AF nowadays?
