Internet chat session. They've got to have some service center in India if that's required but hopefully they can get you squared away with the chat session.

Go to Menu, Shooting Menu, Restore Shooting Menu, Yes.
OR
Find QUAL button (back lower left) & +/- button (top right, just behind on/off switch); both buttons marked by green dot. Hold both in for minimum 2 seconds for restoring all default settings.

So now I'm curious... if you do reverse the command dials so the front does shutter & the back does aperture does the problem follow the shutter setting or does it stay with the rear dial? If it stays on the rear dial then it supports the concern that it's a faulty dial...

Blanche,
Just curious if your sub command dial works on any function. You performing a reset should have cleared any control functions that may have been changed. Sounds like you do have a malfunction on you sub command dial.
Kind of comical about having to explain what film is to the young generation. Expecially in a foreign language.
Good luck,
Terry

To restore defaults on the D7000 There are two red boxes one at the delete button and the other is at the metering button Push those two button and hold for 5 sec to reset to default settings

NO NO NO!!!!
Those are the quick format buttons and will format the SD card - you will lose all your pictures unless you are using the No2 card as backup.

Is the "Auto ISO" set to "On"? If so, set it to "Off". Then set the mode dial to "M" for manual. Now check if the command dial adjusts the shutter speed and the sub-command dial, the aperture. Let us know.

I don't know if this will help, but it's a tips card I made for my D7000.

Hi, On my D800e I take the lock off the multi selector then I can move the focal point around. Remember to re-lock the selector.

Ok. Deep breath (which I can take now that the Internet - a sometime affair in India) is back. Back to my original question. I am sure I used to be able in P mode to adjust both the aperture (command dial) and shutter speed (sub command dial). I did a half chat with Nikon in line - cut off in the middle of it - he said that in P mode you can only control aperture - not shutter speed. Perhaps I'm losing my mind (nit inconceivable) but imam almost certain I could do both. What do you think?
I've got a photo shoot at an orphanage all day Saturday and need my camera to work the way I am used to. I truly appreciate your patience and expertise. By the way, the reset didn't delete anything.

Well I'm a Canon user but our cameras are pretty similar in lots of ways.
For instance, Program mode is just full auto except for the focal point and a couple of other smaller things. To set the shutter you have to be in shutter priority, same for aperture in aperture priority and so on.

Your cheat sheet is terrific. Thank you for sharing it with me. How do you navigate to AF Point - it's one of the options list below. You use the multi selector to mice the focal point around before you shoot. I used to be able to do that but can't find the magic setting any longer.
