D800 Image review issue - resolved by reset

ypsisteve

Help... New D800 owner of a refurbished D800 which seems to be OK but for an issue I cannot figure out.

I cannot get it to display the image in the LCD after each shot and when I press the arrow/display button to the left of the trashcan the shot info is displayed (time of shot, shutter speed, etc) but not the image. The info is there but not the image. This same info is displayed after each shot. I can arrow left and right to show 1 of 5 and so on.. I can press the trashcan delete and it indicates the image has been deleted. I can see EVERYTHING but the image itself. I have tried a couple of SD cards so I do not believe that is the issue. To the best of my knowledge all the display settings are correct. I am about to send this back but I obviously want to make sure it is not me.

P.S. The images are not blocked in the menu

You need to use the multi-selector and push the up or down arrow to cycle through the display options. Do this just after taking a photo or after pressing the display or right triangle button.

Thanks, but no go. The arrow up/down still shows me the info and a blank outlined thumbnail labeled 1 of how many I took. When I select one of the blank thumbnails by pushing the button in the middle of the multi-selector it shows me one of the items with all the info but no image.. perplexed!

I just defaulted the setting to factory standard and it fixed the problem. There are settings I must have altered in the exposure so the image was so dark it did not look like there was anything there. Thank you so much for answering!

That was going to be my next suggestion, a two button reset. Glad you figured it out. What were the exposure settings on those black photos?
