setuporg Posted January 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) So I was shooting with M10 for two years and then got am M60. The M60 is wonderful -- the shutter release button is big without even a hole in it. There's no EVF2 hole in that camera either, nor a grip hole, nor any extra wheels or buttons, or even levers. You turn it on and that's it. There's a next position after off/on, settings, but it requires a harder push. You never get there unless you try harder. So when I got the Monochrom Typ 246, I've finally experienced what all the 24x family production bodies have, the off/S/C/timer switch. And I regularly end up going to C, which I almost never need. Sure I get some random fun series where people blink or light changes slightly. But most of the time I do not need that. How do you guys train yourselves to turn on into S only? Almost wish there were a hardware stop at S that you could lock/unlock... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted January 4, 2019 Share #3 Posted January 4, 2019 😉 done that too years ago. But as Jaapv wrote "muscle memory", the only way. At first, I put some kind of stopper (tape at right place "try-n-error" before "C" ) , it moved, so I trained my muscle memory after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
echt.jut Posted January 5, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 5, 2019 If you never use C-Mode and the Selftimer you could put a drop of Sugru (https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Moldable-Glue-Original-Formula/dp/B074XFLBXW/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1546667884&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=sugru&psc=1) on the top plate as a hard stop. In case you suddenly need the other modes you could easily rip it off again without doing harm to the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted January 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted January 5, 2019 Leave the camera switched on after you first use it each day. Sleep mode is economical with the battery. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
setuporg Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted January 5, 2019 Yes I found leaving on S is fine, especially giving the giant fat battery compared to the slim M10 ones last so much longer. Especially on the Monochrom 246, I get more than a 1,000 shots on one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted January 10, 2019 Share #7 Posted January 10, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) My M always switch on on S. It happened to me to switch on on C only one time, but I was talking to a good looking woman and i was quite distracted. Not a problem though, I took 3 pictures of her instead of one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
