Any chance in hell that Leica will allow .....

Hi folks,

Is there any chance in hell that Leica will allow us to permanently disable the video function for the Fn2 button on the Q3, so us non-video freaks can repurpose the button to our liking without having to do that every time you turn the camera on?? Unless I'm missing something in which case I chalk it up to early onset of dementia.

Behold! The hell has been long here, please read the manual in heaven, where minor dementia is a quite normal symptom there I presume.

The real problem is the inability to disable the swipe left/right action that toggles between stills and videos. It is easily actuated by accident and the only way I am able to avoid this is by foregoing use of the screen in all but replay mode. In my opinion, this feature and the lack of a double click method of resetting the replay screen to centre are the two least attractive features of the Q3, and could both be avoided by a firmware update.
