I am a new owner of a new to me (reworked) Nikon F5600 purchased through Amazon, and am generally quite pleased with it, but I really have reached a brick wall with |a problem that has just occurred.
It may be to do with the fact that I have been switching Lenses as I have just taken delivery of a new (to me, but a reworked lens)) 8-140mm Nikon telephoto lens (also through Amazon) to go with the standard 18-55mm lens it came with, and I have spent the afternoon taking test shots with it. It all seemed to be working very well. but when I got back into the house, I switched back to the default 18-55 lens, and to my dismay, the LV switch on the mode selector dial no longer switches the graphic setup screen that is shown when the eyepiece is activated. No matter what I try, It remains stubbornly Black. If I press the "i" button while the black screen is showing, I do get the more limited display that shows Shutter speed, F stop and ISO setting in Black on light grey, and the standard 2 row (14 items) options bar that works as normal.
However as soon as flick the LV lever, the display switches back to black again.... I also note that the "i" button often shows the MOVIE options rather than the full photo setup, and I cannot work out what I must be changing in the Menu system to cause this mayhem.
I really miss the graphic display, so if anyone can please point me in the right direction to let me control my display and the menu options ? I would be really grateful for any help to sort these issues out.
Thanks in advance
