Control ring issues after update to firmware 1.8.1 (R6MI)

amptique — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 17:08:34 GMT

I recently updated my R6MkI with the 1.8.1 firmware. I typically use the FV mode with the control ring programmed to control Exposure Compensation. Since the update this no longer works. Changing the control ring function to other settings such as ISO control and it works fine. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

Greetings,

Start by resetting the camera's main and custom menu settings to default. Now program the Control Ring to control Exposure Compensation and retest. Results?

That worked. Thanks for the quick help. I'll have to remember that for future updates.

Reset Camera is located on the Setup (wrench, yellow) menu, first item on tab 5. Clear Customized Settings is located in the Custom Function (second from the right, orange) menu, last item on tab 3.
