I've noticed this with my Ds also. The angled edge of the dial makes it easy to apply a small amount of downward pressure when turning it and this seems to correct the problem. It also seems necessary to turn it slowly and deliberately, one click at a time as well.

When turned right: - 50% OK - 25% does nothing - 25% turns right one or more steps! I first suspected some dust or a hair or something slipped through the gap over or below the dial, and tried to blow some canned air into it, but this had no effect. I'm now afraid it's a premature wear of the dial's contacts, but this would be a very bad sign regarding the quality of construction of this body, and for its future. It's only 6 months and I have a 2 year guarantee, but of course I'm not too willing to part from it right now... Have any of you experienced this kind of behaviour? Regards Patrice
