Reset
Explanation: Pressing both buttons with a green dot next to them (zoom in button on the back and exposure compensation button on the top) at the same time will reset important camera settings to their default values.
You need to keep them pressed for about two seconds until the LCD display appears blank for a moment.
In the camera modes U1 and U2 the D7000 will reinstate default values that you have saved (see Modes U1 and U2) instead of the ones Nikon has predefined.
The impacted settings and Nikon‘s default values for them are:
| setting | default value |
|---|---|
| picture quality | NORM |
| image size | L |
| white balance | automatic (AUTO1), fine tuning neutral |
| ISO sensitivity | AUTO and SCENE: automatic other modes P, S, A, M, U1, U2: ISO 100 |
| AF focus tracking | automatic AF-A |
| AF focus point selection | automatic exception: some scene modes use single focus point or dynamic selection |
| AF (Live-View) | AF-S |
| AF focus point selection (Live-View) |
portrait AF exception: some scene modes use wide-area AF or normal-area AF |
| exposure metering | matrix |
| exposure lock | off |
| Active D-Lighting (ADL) | off |
| bracketing | off |
| Picture Control | the currently chosen picture control configuration stays active but will be reset to its initial values |
| flash exposure compensation | off |
| exposure compensation | off |
| FV lock | off |
| flash synchronisation | fill flash exception: some scene modes use other setting |
| multiple exposure | off |
| program shift | off |
Tips: You don‘t need this reset function if you use the recommended modes U1 and U2. Then a quick turn of the mode dial to another mode and back is enough.
In the other modes the reset is useful because it puts back all settings that are most frequently adjusted.
