D300 -- bugs

[alcyon]

<p>Hi,<br>

Recently, my D300 has been acting up. The auto-focus no longer beeps and I've lost the focus red squares in the viewfinder when I use the 51 points.<br>

I have checked my settings in the menu and everything seems to be in order.<br>

Has anyone else encountered these issues with a D300?<br>

Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Have you perhaps switched the camera into [C]ontinuous AF mode, instead of ingle servo mode? Check the small lever switch on the front of the body, near the lens mount.</p>

<p>I would double check the AF mode selector (the S/C/M switch below the lens release button in front) and the AF area mode selector switch (below the multi-selection pad on the back). You may have some wrong settings. At least I would rule those out first.</p>

<p>Then try reset</p>

<p>I have somehow changed settings on my D90 so that it no longer beeps when the focus locks on. Beep set to on AF area set to Auto-area, center focus point set to Normal zone. Any advice on this would be appreciated.<br>

<p>Brian, I don't have a D90, but on most higher-end Nikon DSLRs such as the D2X, D200, D300, and D3 family, I would check Custom Settings a1 and a1: AF-S and AF-C priority being focus or release priority. However, the D90's AF settings are somewhat different.</p>

<p>Hi Jean<br>

Me my self, my friend (user of D300) and also my another friend D300s facing the same problem before<br>

Please refer to D300 user manual page 268<br>

a2: AF-S Priority Selection<br>

You must access using the menu<br>

Set it to Focus<br>

Sorry, of I forget is section a1 or a2, but I think should be a2<br>

Play around with the setting directly in the menu<br>

Hope this help!</p>

<p>Sorry for the delayed reply.<br>

Thank you all for your help. I'm not sure which one fixed it but I got it to work again.</p>
