It would not recognize an AF-P 18-55mm VR lens. A quick check revealed that the firmware version was V1.0. When I looked at the available updates on Nikon's website, I found v1.01 allowed the camera to recognize AF-P lenses and v1.02 fixed a bug in Live View. I updated to v1.02 which included the updates in V1.01. Everything has worked properly after the update...no strange behavior related to IQ has been observed.I did a quick search for info about how using the Reset functions in the menu system may affect installed firmware. The only reference I found (<a href="https://smarttechsavvy.com/how-do-i-reset-my-nikon-d3300-to-factory-settings/" target="_blank">https://smarttechsavvy.com/how-do-i-reset-my-nikon-d3300-to-factory-settings/</a>) states in part:<h2>"Can I reset my Nikon D3300 to factory settings if I’ve updated the firmware?"</h2>"Yes, you can reset your Nikon D3300 to factory settings even if you’ve updated the firmware. The firmware update will not be affected by the reset process, and the camera will retain the updated firmware after the reset is complete. However, keep in mind that any custom settings or profiles that you’ve created may be erased during the reset process, as mentioned earlier. If you’ve made any changes to the camera’s settings after updating the firmware, these may also be lost during the reset.""It’s worth noting that if you’re experiencing issues with your camera after updating the firmware, resetting to factory settings may not necessarily resolve the problem."Curious to know if your approach simply used the Reset functions in the menu system or used some other method to get back to v1.00.</blockquote>
