p.1 #2 · Locking/Disabling Exposure Compensation Dial on A7c?
I'm curious, why do you need a workaround? My A1 stays unlocked due to the inability to easily unlock it anymore. Had the camera cleaned and worked on a little over a year ago, and still didn't help.

My kid (who has zero interest in photography and zero interest in learning absolutely anything photography-relsted) will be using it for a week on an overseas trip. Kid's cellphone is old and can't take any remotely decent pictures anymore, so the A7c will be used in "P" mode during that trip. It will be a "set it and forget it" situation.
Problem is that the exposure compensation wheel turns way too easily. I don't want to have to stop what I'm shooting to explain to the extremely uninterested kid why the pictures are either too dark or too light every time the exposure compensation dial gets inadvertently knocked out of place. I thought about maybe placing some tape over it to keep it in places, but I don't want to have to clean up the sticky tape residue afterwards.
If I can't find a way to lock or disable the exposure compensation dial on my A7c, then I'll probably have to let my kid borrow my OM-5 instead. Problem is you really have to know what you are doing in order to get good images from the OM-5. Unlike the A7c, setting it to Program mode isn't enough.
