1src Forums - Disable capture button

Tim Abbott Guest Posts: n/a	Disable capture button Does anyone know how to disable the UX50 capture button? It occasionally gets depressed by mistake when I'm carrying it which can cause it to fill the memory card with noise and then lock up the UX50 completely (once forcing me to disassemble it and pull the internal battery before it would restart).

But there has been a thread here a little while back on assgining the capture button to a different function (which is basically what you are after) but Im not so litterate in computing so I didnt follow the thread, therefore I do not know if they came up with a solution or not.

Re-assigning the capture button is exactly what I'm looking for but I haven't been able to find any prior thread - any leads to it or ideas would be greatly appreciated

You can only assign to Capture button to input media related features, such as voice recorder, camera, video recorder. Goto any of these apps. Click the Menu button, Options, Capture Button Setting...

In this mode pressing the button does cause the UX50 to power on, but no application is launched. The utility also allows the button to distinguish between a Short and Long press, which means it can have two separate funtions. Here: www.ogaoga.org dennis %^)

(ha-ha) p

All in all a very worthwhile app - thanks again djl p

TimAbbott Guest Posts: n/a	Thanks! Thank you djl! It took a bit of finding because neither I nor my browser speak Japanese, but the utility does exactly what I needed.

I saw this thread on the other thread you started but decided to post it here since it seemed to me you were quite satisfied with Default Capture. __________________ Christian Palm Tungsten T>Sony UX40>Sony UX50>Sony TH55/E1>HTC Universal (O2 XDA Executive)

You will retain the settings. I opted to use PowerRUN. Thus everytime I want to change the settings, I have the option to do it fast. __________________ Christian Palm Tungsten T>Sony UX40>Sony UX50>Sony TH55/E1>HTC Universal (O2 XDA Executive)
