Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / November 2006Nokon D200 Reset Switch
My Nikon D70s has a Reset Switch that is described on page 200 of the manual. From the manual it sounds as if it resets the camera to its original configuration. My Nikon D200 has the same switch on the bottom of the camera, at least that is what it looks to be. The D200 manual has nothing in it about a Reset Switch. Does the switch on the D200 perform the same function as on the D70s? Bob >My Nikon D70s has a Reset Switch that is described on page 200 of the >manual.

See the diagram at the bottom of p. 3 - Introduction - Getting to know the camera for the location of the button and a pointer to the page it is described on.

Are you sure about that, Ed? I don't have my D200 in my hand right now, but I don't think there is a reset switch on this model. What he is seeing is an alignment hole for the optional grip.

The hole on the bottom of the D200 that looks like the reset switch on the D70s must serve some other purpose.

From what I have gathered, there is no reset switch on the D200. The reset that is referenced in the manual is for the menus (two button reset), not a master reset. This made me wonder if my new D80 has one and there is no reset on the bottom of it. There is a reset button, but it's hidden under the rubber pad that covers the connections for external power, USB port, etc. > The hole on the bottom of the D200 that looks like the reset switch > on the D70s must serve some other purpose. Probably just an alignment hole for the battery grip. >Couldn't find "Reset Switch" in the index, so I assumed there was no page >with info regarding the switch, but thanks to Ed Ruf I see it is referenced >in the "Getting to Know the Camera." Get a copy of the "fine manual" in PDF from the Nikon web site. Much easier and better to do searches electronically.

Thanks Ed! I will download the "fine Manual." At one time, I did quickly look at that on-line manual, but thought that it would be the same as the printed manual that comes with the camera. The URL below is my latest WEB page with photos linked to the report of a Libya visit. All photos were taken with a Nikon D70s. http://www2.hagenhosting.com/~naborswe/Libya/Libyaindex.html My next WEB page will have all photos taken with the Nikon D200 of another South American trip in a month or so. My Nabors page with several indexed travel reports is: http://www2.hagenhosting.com/~naborswe/naborsindex/index.html Bob Robert > Couldn't find "Reset Switch" in the index, so I assumed there was no > page with info regarding the switch, but thanks to Ed Ruf I see it > is referenced in the "Getting to Know the Camera." This is referred to as the "Two Button" reset which is somewhat lame since it only factory resets a few menu options. The reset button on the D70 does a more comprehensive factory default restore while clearing the CPU and memory. Why they didn't put this on the D200 I don't know. I know that I never used the one on the D70 nor had the need to ever do a reset on the D200.

Wait a second here...which reset are you actually talking about now? The reset switch on the bottom of the camera should only be used if you have an error condition that needs to be cleared by resetting the entire camera (including the internal clock and custom functions). While I doubt it hurts to press it numerous times, the manual indicates its purpose is a last resort. The 2-button reset where you press and hold the two buttons on the top of the camera with the green dots is to be used to reset the main menu options to defaults. It does not reset the custom functions, clock, or clear electrical faults. >"Bill Crocker" <wcrocker007@comcast.net> wrote in message >> There is no reset switch on the bottom of the Nikon D200. >Couldn't find "Reset Switch" in the index, so I assumed there was no page >with info regarding the switch, but thanks to Ed Ruf I see it is referenced >in the "Getting to Know the Camera." > >The hole on the bottom of the D200 that looks like the reset switch on the >D70s must serve some other purpose. There is no such thing (at least not on D200 and D70), the only reset you have is to press the two buttons with green dots at the same time. -espen Signaturehttp://www.seland.org/ According to Espen Stranger Seland <ess@abn.hibu.no.spam>: > >"Bill Crocker" <wcrocker007@comcast.net> wrote in message > >> There is no reset switch on the bottom of the Nikon D200.

Turn the D70 upside down with lens facing away from you. Look on the right-hand side, near the front corner, about 1/4" (6mm) straight back from the front corner black Phillips flat-head screw. You will see a small hole with a pip in it. If you press that pip with an appropriately pointed object, it *will* perform a full hardware reset of the camera to initial factory settings. It is tiny, hard to see, and hard to access just so you *won't* hit it accidentally, because it will lose *every* setting you have made, I believe including the time setting. No -- I have not hit it, but I found it after reading the manual, just to make sure that I could find and identify it. Since I don't have a D200, I can't check for the presence of a similar reset button on that camera -- and it is too late for me to waste time digging through the PDF manual for that camera which I downloaded some time ago.

At this time to my knowledge, the D200 manual has info on two pages about resetting, page 97 and 147. I don't why they were so hard for me to find when I first checked the Nikon guide. I think they should have "Reset" listed under "R" in the "Index" showing links to Page 97 and 147. Robert >>> My Nikon D70s has a Reset Switch that is described on page 200 of the >>> manual.

Pete, Are you saying the two-button reset as shown on page 97 of the D200 Manual and the Reset Custon Menu on page 147 doesn't work? I'm aware that the small hole on the underside of the D200 is not for reset as it is for resetting on the D70s.
