well, I tried for a few months the reversal of the light meter of the D800,, and nope, I just cannot get used to it, So,, Menu -> custom Setting Bank -> F12 and you can in less then a second
reverse to the classic mode,,

ahhhh,,, so much more natural for me,, you turn the wheel to make the bars go in the direction that you want, not sure what the heck Nikon was thinking of reversing the direction, Now it
matches my other Nikons and after one time out, got to say,, happy to return it. So, my advice, reverse it right away, and not wait.

It's funny you mentioned this. The first thing I did on my D7000 was reverse the light meter so that when the D800 came out I was pleasantly surprised that is was already set up the way I like it. But I must also add that I'm left handed so it may just be a "left/right" brained issue?
