Ok. Deep breath (which I can take now that the Internet - a sometime affair in India) is back. Back to my original question.

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.

According to the D7000 manual, page 68, it can adjust both.

I stand by my statement. Read Darrell Youngs book Mastering the Nikon D7000 page 338 "when you enter P* flexible program mode,you control only the aperture and the D7000 controls the shutter speed" I am aware of this because I too thought it controlled both. If you have a D7000 try it for yourself and see.

You're right. I tried it, and checked my David Busch D7000 book. I don't use Program mode but I was curious! Thanks for the lesson!

Well, yes, I guess I never thought of it moving "only" the aperture. Visually both the Shutter speed and the Aperture change as you turn the dial... I never really gave it much thought...

I'll put my faith in Nikon and my own observations. My D600 works the same as my former D7000 when I put it in P. As I rotate the Command Dial, both shutter and aperture change, keeping the exposure value the same. Using S will change the shutter setting, and A will change aperture.

The Nikon "P" mode is a strange one, especially if you are used to the conventional "Programme Shift" mode of other cameras. The Nikon D7000 P mode only allows you to directly adjust the aperture and shutter speed combination by using the main command dial, and only while the exposure meter is active. The sub-command dial (below the shutter release) does nothing. If you adjust the shutter speed/aperture combination until you reach the shutter speed that you have set as the lowest speed limit in "Auto ISO On" the camera will adjust the ISO instead. This is called "Flexible Program" mode and your chosen settings will not be retained once the mode dial is changed to another mode or the camera is switched off. If you set the mode dial to "P" and you don't adjust the settings with the command dial, the camera will select an aperture and shutter speed combination according to the lens focal length, focus distance and the light value, that it's "program" considers appropriate.

Good grief, read before you post! I have already said it all.

A quick check: if the locking switch below the "OK" pad is bumped to the "L" (lock) position, it will cause me a few moments of frustration on some settings.

I'm not sure which green buttons - perhaps we have different buttons on our cameras. But tanks.


On my D7000 the two buttons to reset are red. One on the back left and the other on top right.

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.


OOOOOOOps! Sorry Graham! I was wrong! Finally put on my glasses and saw that you were right! The red buttons are "format" It is the two buttons marked with a little green dot next to them that does the reset. Fortunately, I have never pushed the two red buttons but now that I know it will be quicker to reformat!

Good grief! Don't tell me you've been going into the menus to format your card. Pays to read the manual - page 32.
