I've bumped the dial so many times by accident, glad that it was never on a paid gig... I'd love to do this, but they should do it for free :/

The hard part about taping over the dial is doing it without also blocking the power switch and without blocking the hot shoe or pop up flash. -- Ken

Note the locking button on both the mode dial and the exposure compensation dial. The metering mode dial on the other side has a locking button too.

apersson850 Cream of the Crop  More info | Store your favorite setting (whether it's M, P or...) under C1, C2 and C3. Then set your camera to C3. Now you have a two position "bump margin" for the dial, before it changes behavior of the camera. Anders

(Can you imagine the tidal wave of demands, many trivial, they would be hit with if that were the expectation?) The comments here indicate that not everyone has this mode dial problem, and that some would prefer not to have a locking dial even if it were free. It is nice that they are not making those who want/need it badly enough wait for the next model to get it. +1 John Caputo
