You have to dig thru the menus and change the view back to RedColor manually and everything will go back to normal. User buttons 1 and 2 get locked up occasionally.

I've seen this happen for various reason, usually an operator error.
(I'm not saying that is the case here)

If view is set to raw, your toggle button is functioning correctly, it is just toggling between raw and raw. The view has to be set to Redcolor for the toggle button to work as you want.

Make sense?

Pretty sure it's not an operator error. My camera is set to RedColor view by default and it often mysteriously gets stuck in RAW. When that happens, toggling the #1 doesn't achieve anything until you go into the menus and switch it back.

Unless there's a shortcut that switches the default view to RAW that I've been pressing by accident and wasn't aware of, this is quite a common problem. And I don't have fat fingers either. :)

Thanks for the heads up Milan,

I've been known to fatfinger a button in my time :-)

Another instance of this is when the camera is set up either inadvertently or on purpose to have two of the buttons set to toggle between raw and color, and thus end up with a "three way switch" and the outcomes there are confusing.

I thought it was just my memory going...

What build are you operating on Milan?

Stuart, currently 30.6.0 for the last couple of shoots. No probs so far.
Last time I got stuck in RAW I was on 30.5.0

Really not a big deal as long as you know what's happening.
The focus assist (zoom) can occasionally do this too (comes back to black/blank screen instead of full view) but toggling the user button #2 couple of times normally clears it.

O.K, the stuck in RAW issue should have been fixed by 30.6.0.

i've had the same issues as Milan. As stated the only thing I've found to fix it is going through the menu and changing it there, or completely resetting the camera. It happened to me a couple times on build 30.5.0, so far I've been in the clear with 30.6.0
