Remove your lens and check your viewfinder screen, it may have gotten dislodged.

“Help” is not a helpful title.
But MT is a great resource.

Right on both counts. When I was at the beach last summer, a swimmer quite a ways out started shouting, "Help!" People shouted back, asking what he wanted, but all he kept saying was, "Help!" Eventually, the shouting stopped, and we all went back to what we were doing.

The Search feature is useless without a meaningful title.

Not heard of that one before.
Thanks for letting us know.
Some people never let us in on what happened.
You’ll like the D750.

D750 or 7500 ?
If 750 , do you have fox lenses?

The D750 will automatically switch to DX mode when you mount DX lenses. That will keep him going until he can look into acquiring some FX lenses.

If he meant D7500, well then, never mind!
