[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 817558, member: 47518"] Something strange and bothersome happened! Last week I enjoyed shooting wildlife with my new Z8 + Z186 + TC1.4. I had preset some custom functions assigned to 4 buttons: fn1= 3D AF area, fn2= subject detection OFF, fn3= Auto area+Auto detection, and video= cycle AF area. It all worked perfectly (at least as I remembered). Today, I thought I would like to assign a button to switch release mode (burst speed) and the previous fn2 assignment is useless (sort of). So I decided to re-assign the fn2 button for release mode. After done re-assigning, every assigned button became crazy: press fn2, and it's fine; then press fn1 or fn3 they all did what fn2 did! Dip into the menu to check fn1 and fn3, they are all changed to fn2 setting! Re-assign fn1 and fn3 back to the previous assignment. Press fn1 it's fine, but press fn3 or fn2 they all did what fn1 did! That is the button first pressed will take over the other two buttons' settings and cause them useless (or redundant). Only the video button assignment still works fine. So far I have not touched both shooting menu banks and custom shooting banks, doubt anything is related to them. I am losing my mind now... Hope someone here can give a quick help. Appreciate. [/QUOTE]
