EOS R50 Disable shutter select button while shooting?

[pinchvalve]

While shooting action shots, I am constantly frustrated by the delayed timer shutter being activated accidentally, causing me to miss critical moments. This camera is too small and my fingers are too big NOT to hit this shutter select button constantly. What genius decided to but a button that disables the high-speed shutter right next to the thumb rest!?!?!? To me, this is a major design flaw. 

Is there a way to disable this button while shooting? I can change the shutter speed using Menu if I want to, I don't need a shortcut.

Hello and welcome,

For the EOS R50, the buttons that form the cross keys on the back of the camera can be reconfigured using the camera's customised buttons. You can assign other functions to the button that you keep pressing inadvertently. 

To customise the buttons press menu and go to the Custom settings menu, page 2. Select Customise buttons.

The screen will look like this, use the down button or drag on the screen to reach the button you want to change, then press Q/SET or tap on it. You will be presented with lots of alternatives and the last one in the list is OFF as in do nothing.

That was easy! I saw that option, but never imagined that I could override the physical buttons. Thanks a billion!
