RdL I see now it can be put on a number of settings, but since I don't know what it is, I don't change it. The camera is a D750

Can you take a cell phone photo of the display when it shows up?

By the way...my guess is that it isn't Rdl. I remember seeing something on one of my camera displays. Turned out the letters or whatever it was wasn't the way I initially read them. That's why I'd like to see a photo.

Could you please explain what RdL is, and where did you see it.

Looking at Nikon error codes, supposedly anything that begins with R generally is followed by numbers. Those indicate the memory card is almost full. A couple other alternatives might also be the cause. Wonder if it is something like that.

Stuck on R-number

This isn’t an error message, but a lot of photographers come across the camera being stuck on an r-number with it refusing to take a photo when the shutter is fully pressed. This could be anything, such as r36 or any other number. What it actually shows is the remaining number of photos that can be taken on the buffer and appears when you half-press the shutter.

So why won’t your camera take a photo when it is fully pressed, but instead still shows the r-number message? Well there are a few reasons for this. By default your camera will prioritise the focus of an image before taking a photo (this can be overridden in the settings), so if you are shooting in a very dark environment and your camera can’t obtain proper focus then you’ll see this r-number until it locks on to something.

Other reasons include having the camera set to the self-timer or a remote of sorts; the r-number will show until the timer is complete or the remote is triggered.
