Nikon D800 menue grayed out

[RalphLambrecht]

the i-camera setup menue has an item called'save/load settings'. I like to use it, but it is grayed out and not selectable. Does anyone know why and how to activate it how to activate it?

Do you have a memory card inserted? In the D700 manual (I don't have a D800), "save/load settings" is described in the "Setup Menu" section of the manual. You need a card inserted, it can't be full, and the filename it writes to is given in the manual - so you could eject the card, load it onto a computer, and see if this file exists.

good point! I'll check. Found out it has to be seated properly, too. That was it. Now, it works! Thanks for the help.

Moved to a sub-forum it is more likely to be comfortable in
