How do I lock/unlock side handle?

[Raul Gonzo]

My camera came back from a rental and the side handle is locked. No idea how to unlock it. Anyone know?

 

[Shane Kelly]

Its in settings/key mapping/options

 

[Bob Gundu]

Press the 1 and 4 buttons on top of the side handle at the same time.

 

[Burke Doeren]

Wow, great tip Bob! I didn't know about that shortcut.

Sounds similar to pressing the User 1 + 2 buttons on the Side SSD at the same time to eject the mag.

Those are the "default" keys to LOCK the side handle! If you're adventurous, you can use just about ANY key for anything you want! Here are my mappings for the camera. I have it set up for two "states" or modes: Preview (recording) & Playback. I'm willing to help ya learn how to do this yourself, if you want to know... it took me a day or two to wrap my head around the thought process!

Curt- that's really cool. I know how to configure the buttons, but is there a way to share these presets? Probably save me a good hour

Curt - I seem to recall you offered these templates to show your own mapped presets. If I am correct, could you help my lazy ass by pointing out where to get them?

Thank you so much! Great layout.

Thank you!

I hit the white balance button once on the side handle and thought I had a broken camera for a day until I realized that it moved the tint significantly. The client kept asking me why he was green. After that I started using the lock heh heh.

Bob,

Thanks for sharing this! I didn't realize it had an expiration date... so I've removed that! NEVER expires now! Hope that helps!

Dustin, rest assured... you are NOT the only one who does this! This is why I lock out the side handle all the time! I've gotten pretty good at "feeling" my way around without having to actually look at it! I've considered MOVING that white balance button too... make it harder to select! That's easy enough!

Thanks for that but I was actually thinking there was a visual template where you could enter your own preset layouts; an "empty" form, so to speak. Did I remember incorrectly?

Terry, this is what I used to get started... You can 'fill it in' with what ever you want. You have to PROGRAM the camera yourself. No other way to do that other than manually at this point.

Thanks for sharing your presets and diagrams Curt. That's a huge time-saver!

Thanks for all of this, Curt!
