X30 shifting aperture settings

[merlin]

I have the front control ring set to default, which means it controls the aperture when I use aperture priority, which is almost all the time.  However, the setting almost always shifts after taking some photographs and then placing the camera to my side (I am using a strap),

 

Is there a way that the aperture setting can be made more stable?

Duck tape!

 

Just kidding... Ha!

When I use manual focus and zone focusing, the shifting also occurs at times changing the distance of focus. Got to beware of it sneaking up on me.

Yeah, taping it might be nice. 

 

I wonder if there is any way to disable the control ring in the menus?  That way, I can control the aperture with the rear command dial, which is less apt to move on its own.

 

The only menu option I could find is to change the rotation direction -- useless!

You can set it to change other things than the aperture and then use the rear dial for aperture.

Thanks for responding.  I know that, but whatever I set it to (e.g. ISO, white balance) will then probably shift, just as the aperture does.  It would be great if there were a menu setting to disable the control ring altogether!
