Do you ever find your shutter speed or aperture accidentally changed

[RichF]

I find if I walk with the camera turned on, using a black rapid strap, I occasionally will accidentally bump the shutter speed or aperture.

I have resorted to locking both the aperture and shutter speed so this can not happen. I put the lock on the QUAL button since I shoot in Raw 99.9+% of the time.

Sometimes shutter speed. And not that often. Never had it happen to aperture. I have not resorted to locking them.

yeah, it happens sometimes. I usually figure it out after blowing a shot. I haven't locked them.

No but I do seem to accidentally rotate a dial that move my iso out of auto and for a second wonder why my viewfinder is so dark. I don’t often adjust iso so I either need to figure out how to lock it and add to a quick menu or change how it’s set altogether.

I lock mine too, the shutter speed is what usually happens if not locked.

I just turn the camera off when I walk.

I don't walk. I drive.
yes, it happens. But not by itself. And not when I walk. When I fiddle accidentally

I try to remember to do so, but not always

It’s the RSF (hold) on the assigned Lens Function Button that was a problem walking or inadvertently activated while holding the Z9 with the 800PF.

What annoys me is the camera resetting to start up settings out of the blue. I guess something times out. I have to have a habit of scanning the settings quickly when bringing the camera to the eye. Probably should do that anyway.

When The camera sleeps you can’t change either. My camera sleeps after a short interval.

I've experience that issue before. Not sure what I did to cause it. I put the aperture lock and shutter speed lock options in My Menu for quicker access if and when needed, albeit it's not on page one of My Menu.

I have had that issue when carrying two cameras on a dual strap configuration. I believe the control dial on my Nikon D500 was catching on my pants pocket or rubbing against my leg with enough force to roll the dial. I can usually correct the issue if I shorten the strap a little.

I'm in the "turn it off while walking around" camp. The Z9 powers up fast enough that this is feasible.

Rare problem for me. More common is turning the knob the wrong way when I'm in a hurry. My fingers get dumb, sometimes.

Yes. I use "Easy Compensation" in Aperture priority and this makes things backwards which shooting in manual. I know you can switch the way the dials work but...
