Quick D800 question.

Lightsped · Nov 25, 2013

I do not have my manual with me. I was looking at another D800 and this particular one had more of a crosshair type setup when looking through the viewfinder. Mine does not have the crosshair effect. I am sure it is a simple toggle on the menu, but I can not find out where I can activate the crosshair thingy inside the viewfinder....

Any ideas? Oh, a D700 had the same crosshair effect so apparently it isn't D800 specific....
Thanks

I was unable to find it. I am not home and don't have alot of time to go through a pdf. Thats ok. The crosshair thing isn't a big issue. More of a curiousity question than anything else. I check my manual when I get home....

Like this guy. Extremely useful to do it that way.

Others prefer the exact answers served to them on a silver platter. Why bother doing the leg work yourself if you can ask someone else to do it for you?
