Nikon D80 Mirror lock up to clean sensor

[rubbertree]

Make sure your battery is fully charged. It's a feature so the camera won't shut off when you have the mirror up. Also, when you select it you have to press the shutter button which will keep it open and the mirror up until you shut the camera off. If it is fully charged, then you can disregard this...

Ding, ding, ding! That was it! The battery was 1/2 full. I have fully charged it and it works fine now. Thank you so much!

GO NIKON! :greenpbl: :lmao:

yup. Really ambiguous message "settings..." pshaw. Thats the message you get when its low battery.

did that, still nothing...

Is your battery fully charged? That is the only time that I have ever had the option not highlight in the menu. The instructions are on page 125 in the manual.
