Scene File Dial

[DVX100Shooter]

If Panasonic continues to make this style camera I guess HVX now, they should make the scene dial an internal option. I can't tell you how many times Im shooting handheld on say F2 and then the camera happens to rub up against my body while getting a shot and the next thing I know I am shooting in F1 or F3 or something! I have come to the conclusion that I need to put gaffers tape over the dial so it doesn't move to a different setting while shooting!

The design of the scene file was tweaked on the HVX to alleviate that problem.
I think most people do exactly what you suggested on the DVX - use gaff tape to keep the wheel from moving.

The less which needs to be accessed by internal menu, the better.

In the three years I've been shooting with this camera, that's never happened to me. Of course, now that I say that, it'll happen tomorrow.rogar-BigGrin(DBG)

I've had it happen once, but gaffers tape is an easy fix.
