Settings in orange should usually be changed to other, more useful settings,

in my opinion. You should change these immediately after a reset.

Resetting Custom Settings

See "Custom Settings Reset" on page <519>.

The D300 contains considerable electronics, including a CPU

and dedicated digital processors. Like a computer, it can

sometimes get confused. If the camera is locked up or

displaying unusual or garbled characters, you've got one last

option for attempting to reset the camera:

1. Turn the camera OFF.

2. If you're using battery power, remove the main

battery. If you're using AC Power, unplug the adapter.

3. Turn the camera ON until the clock battery runs down

(note that this may a month or more). If you're in a

hurry you can try leaving the camera ON for only a

few seconds, but this doesn't fully reset some of the

internal parameters.

4. Turn the camera OFF.

5. Put the battery back into the camera or restore AC

6. Turn the camera back On.
