EOS R10- is there a way to lock the exposure compensation

Nlemcoff — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:53:10 GMT

I have a Canon EOS R10 and it seems that, when I take a picture, I accidentally touch the screen and change the Exposure Compensation.

Is there a way to lock it?

One easy way to temporarily deactivate the LCD screen is to use the LOCK button on the camera and configure the multi-function lock to also lock the touch screen. The manual page here shows the quick control dial, joystick and lens control ring being locked, you need to add a check mark in the fourth space to lock the touch screen.

One benefit of this approach over completely disabling the touch screen is that if you press the Q/SET or MENU button on the camera you can then use the touchscreen as normal.
