If you search the pdf version of the manual for "This option is not available", you get no result except something about mirror lock up. I moved the selector to "M" and got back some greyed out options, but not the one to change image resolution. Any ideas?
I can't really tell because I can't get into that option any more. There is a "L" symbol which I am sure means large
That's because it's not an error... That message is telling you the option you want is not available because you have camera in a mode that does not support it.
Usually: Never a truer word spoken, but ...
Sounds like you've selected RAW format (versus JPG). When you shoot in RAW you can't choose an image size because RAW images are always full resolution.
Based on your posts I would direct you to pages 44 and 45; in the "Image Quality and Size" section.
Yes, you are a Hero. I got rid of RAW and back came my option to change image size. Many thanks.
Thanks, you are quite right, HF, but how is a user to jump from "This option is not available ... " to pages 44, 45 unless he or she has a great deal of experience? I don't know whether the dons of Nikon read this forum - they might - but if they do, I would suggest a substantial write up on the "This option is not available ... " message.
I understand where you're coming from. My first "real" camera was a Pentax K1000... The jump to digital is a large one.
