- March 02, 2011, 08:33:46 AMHaven't had an issue like that with my D80 or D40x while in a Bonanza, Pacer, or C172.
How would an electrical signal have an effect? Do 5D mk IIs have wireless control ability (other than shutter release)? I guess i could see how electrical interference could cause the camera to not work at all (although thats a stretch), but change settings? seems far fetched if there is no wireless receiver in the camera that would allow settings to be changed...
I guess shoot RAW and shoot Nikon. That would probably help

"Chuck,
I guess we are members of the mutual admiration society?
I'm really interested in what transpires with the EOS 7D problem. I'm planning on getting one as my second body. I had a problem with my 5D Mk II during an air-to-air session while at Tullahoma. My settings started randomly changing, and attempts to reset them didn't seem to have any effect. It almost acted like I was getting electrical interference from an outside source? When we landed, while still sitting in the aircraft during refueling, I was still having problems. We did one more flight that day and I was able to get some settings to hold, but it was still kind of screwy. Once back on the ground, and away from the aircraft I was able to get things back to normal. It was really weird, I never had anything like that happen before. The more I thought about it, it seems logical that some sort of electrical signal did cause the problem, but I don't know if it was on the aircraft or from a ground source. We were near a large Air Force Test Facility, so I imagine anything is possible. I flown in the same aircraft (Beech T-34) many times and never experienced a problem before. Have you ever heard of anyone having this type of problem?
Blue skies,

Anyone have similar experience?
