Thanks for letting me know about this. I will just be more careful and pay attention to my iso setting when my exposure is not what I expected. I will not be resetting control of the iso it is too useful as it is.
Like I said to @donnawetter1513, if you've never had it happen to you, the odds are good that it won't. It seems like it's really specific to a lot of personal factors, like the kinds of clothes you wear, the strap you use and it's length, and how you carry the camera (or what kind of bag you put it in). Some people never have a problem, others have it happen often enough that I get comments asking about it. For most people that actually have the problem, my recommendation is just to use the multi-function lock to lock the dial when you're not using it. Personally, I've never really had a problem with the ISO changing, and having the easy access to the dial is way to connivent for me to disable it.
I had this problem when I first got the R6 and it was really frustrating until I figured out what was happening. It seemed to be worse when it was hot and it turns out the camera was touching my stomach after I would shoot and change the ISO. I mainly do birds and wildlife and almost always use auto ISO. I worked out a scheme to keep the controls locked almost always except for shutter and aperture and mostly keep the touch screen locked. for quick access I have ISO and EV and a few other things set up in M Fn and change them there. I set the R5 up the same way and it works fine. Thanks for getting this info out!
I remapped my dials. I was a big AV shooter so in M I have the front dial do AV, the second dial for TV and back wheel for EV and use the Mulitfuntion button for ISO. My DOF button is my Quick Control so I can access it faster. I tend to use M and auto ISO for photos and this works well. Just have to reset EV a lot because the back wheel can easily get jostled. I used to get so mixed up before when going from AV to M and the front dial was then for TV in M. This way, the front dial ia always for AV. Works for me.
I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't already experienced it. I wanted to demo the problem for the video, and I spent about 30 minutes pushing the camera around me like an idiot trying to to get it to change. I could get it to do it. My experience has been that this is something that's very specific to the end user, their body type, the kind of clothes they wear, the specific strap they use, and how the hang and handle the camera. For some people it never happens, for others it happens often enough that I get comments asking why their cameras ISO changes all the time. That's ultimately why I made the video.
Very interesting observation and solutions!

Thanks for the advice. BTW there's a typo in your RUclips thumbnail ("chagning" instead of "changing").
Thanks for the heads up on the thumbnail, it's fixed.
Used this cam since it's out, never had that issue, but yeah that dial is still set to ISO and now I'm worried. :D

You can customize it any way you want. Such a silly comment.
