Just bought my D800. Setting it up side by side with my D700 I noticed that the menu systems (although essentially the same) work differently and to my mind not as efficiently on the D800.
I wondered if other D800/D700 owners can confirm that my camera is behaving normally. On a D700 when an item is changed in the sub menu an icon is displayed telling you what the change is and the double dash disappears. On some of the menu items in my D800 this does not happen and the double dash is still displayed.
e.g. If I assign AE-L/AF-L button to AE-L only I get an icon on the D700 (saying AE-L inside a small lock - but not the D800. This happens on a number of different settings.
Is this normal? If Nikon have changed this it seems like a strange step in the wrong direction to me. P.S. I have the latest firmware installed.
It's not a complaint. It's a £3000 camera once the grips been added, and I'm trying to ascertain if it's working properly - that's all. The bottom line is this. A lot of the menu items don't show what has been chosen in the sub menu (as in the D700 - and as far as I can remember my D7000 too). Just a load of useless double dashes.
Hope that all makes sense.
