Today I set off to do some bird photography. The 300mm with the 1.4x Tc attached. It had been working fine a few days earlier and the lens had remained on the camera.
First problem the AF On button on the back was no longer focusing. It had switched back to the shutter button. Had to go into the menu to reassign it,
Second problem....took a shot of the Shrike and it was virtually black. The auto ISO had switched itself off! Had to reset it.
Started to examine camera and high iso noise reduction was on HIGH! I have that OFF by default.
Back home I went to download files and there were no files on the XQD card.....they were on the SD card. The preference setting had changed from the XQD slot to the SD slot....although the overflow setting still remained.
I haven't yet been through the whole camera setting but having four setting change inexplicably got me a bit spooked.
I could have almost believed someone had sneaked in the house and swopped cameras. It was really bizarre.
My first thought was has the Memory Bank setting changed. No ...it was still on B for birds. I scanned through banks A,C,D and none of them had any of these settings as default. So on the face of it the camera hadn't decided to use another Bank.
Firmware is up to date. Everything else working ok.
I guess I will do a 2 button reset and then set the whole thing up a again ...but wondered if anyone else had come across random and limited changes to settings.
PS The wife swears it wasn't her.
