Title: Nikon D750 - accidental change of image format/quality
Post by: Jørgen Ramskov on November 01, 2015, 21:28:08

I had an "accident" earlier today. During some shooting, I quickly wanted to change the ISO so I pressed what I thought was the ISO button on the camera and turned the wheel. At first nothing happened, so I pressed again and then I got what I wanted. Only later did i notice that what I had pressed first was the Quality button which meant I had switched from shooting RAW to shooting JPG. Those two buttons are right above each other.
It is of course something I will be quite aware of from now on, but I wonder whether there is a way to avoid it from happening again, is there a different and just as easy way to change ISO?

My D750 uses the video button for ISO change.

Mine, too.

Reconfiguring the red button means:
red button + front wheel = ISO auto on/ off.
red button + back wheel = ISO change resp. base ISO set up for ISO auto.

Cheers,
Günther

I've had the same problem with my D7000.  My current Olympus E-M5 mkII doesn't offer any dedicated button to select the image quality which enable the sloppy user to avoid the inadvertent operation.

I wonder any pros or enthusiasts like most of NG members would ever need to change the image quality often enough to need a dedicated button that can be accidentally operated so easily?

Can the quality button be reprogrammed to some other command that is less damaging if accidentally invoked?

Same happened with my D3X
I simply never ever shoot anything but Raw - so that button can go for me too
thanks Øivind Tøien - I also want to know

Yes. I shoot RAW plus JPEG except for the occasional action shoot every 10 years or so.

no button needed.

plus I never shoot video so I can reprogrm the button.

but

it never happened to me.

Sorry, not possible as far as I know.

In fashion of the "not so afraid to modify" and in order to allow the ISO button to stand out - a tiny dab of silicon sealant on the desired button and Bob's your uncle!

I shoot video sometimes, so don't want to program the video button.

But I use "easy ISO", which means no buttons to change ISO except when in full manual mode.
