Thanks for the reply, Kevin. Two questions about your comment. 1. Why didn't it appear initially, 2. What about the lack of the "beep", and 3. Why do the opposing arrowheads show up?..........I know, I did say "2". Thanks!

You should have always had an r number in the LCD. As far as the other not sure, but does sound like an issue and needs to be returned. I think there is a post on here about he buffer number, but can't find it.
Have you changed lenses yet to see if it might be the lens contacts causing an issue

You can do an Internet search for "nikon r number", it explains the buffer and how the camera is showing you the amount pictures for the buffer.
I would take the lens off and then slowly put it back on to make sure everything lines up. I had a similar problem and my lens wasn't fully engaged.

Is the body in manual focus? Should be a lever somewhere. If it is in manual focus and also set for shutter release focus priority, nothing will happen when you push the shutter. You will see various conditions of the arrows. It won't shoot until you manually focus.
Edit: I just woke up a little more, not sure what I was thinking, but my d7000 does not behave like what I described above. It snaps the picture no matter what the focus in manual. So we're back to wondering why camera is not auto focusing.

Is it possible that you could have re-assigned the AE/AF lock button to AF ON? This would prevent the camera from auto focusing with the shutter button. (so no beep) Focus is then activated by the af/ae lock button. Depending on other settings, the picture won't be taken when you press the shutter because focus is not achieved. Your camera sounds like its waiting on auto focus to happen. I know you have a new camera on the way, but I like trying to think through these kinds of problems.
I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head, Nickt! I did set that feature to ON. I have not used that with my D90 or D5100. I appreciate your reply, and the reply of all others in this forum. New camera came this a.m., but the original "multiple exposure" issue warrants its return to camera store. Thanks again, Nickt!

Great. If you want to use the ae/af on button for focus, there are techniques. One of them is explained here:

He doesn't mention your camera, but the concept is the same. Your menu items might be a little different. The downside of this technique is if you forget to press the af/ae button, you will get out of focus pictures. Good luck with the new camera.

Thanks for that information, Nickt, I am going to use that when I get the new camera set up. That article is a "gem". Much better than what the manual says about that feature. I appreciate your response!
