LOCK switch

You can lock the control wheel and all buttons except the shutter/MOVIE (Movie) button by sliding the LOCK switch to the right (“LOCK” side). To unlock them, slide the LOCK switch to the left.

Hint

  • When the LOCK switch is locked, the shooting mode will not change even if you switch the Still/Movie/S&Q switch. Whether the shutter/MOVIE (Movie) button operates as the shutter button for still image shooting or operates to start/stop movie shooting or slow-motion/quick-motion movie shooting is determined by the shooting mode when the LOCK switch is locked.
  • Even if camera operations are locked with the LOCK switch, you can operate external devices connected to the camera, such as a Bluetooth remote commander.
