Screen display for nikon d80

I just bought my nikon d 80. the screen works but i want it to display what i'm trying to take a picture of so i don't always have to look through the viewfinder. i went through the manual but i haven't been able to figure it out on my own.

I have the same problem, did you have any luck with an answer
Alex62 Mar 22, 2009

I have the same problem, which means I can't see the subject before taking the picture. On other Digital Cameras ( SONY , CANON , FUJY ,
OLYMPUS ant others ) , is possible to look to the subject on behind big Screen before you are taking pIcture.

Please advise Are we have option to have View on Big Screen , before taking the photos with NIKON D80 18-135 lens.

Nikon d80 turn off image information from view screen

The up and down arrows on the multi-function button on the back of the camera set the image on the display. With the display on, press the up or down arrow to function through the display settings and the stop on the one you want.

This often happens when you accidentally hit one of the arrow buttons while taking the picture and this changes the display image to the histogram or other display setting.

Sigma 18-300mm lens

The problem may be with the sigma's aperture ring. Try this:

- Turn camera off
- Turn the aperture ring clockwise and lock it
- Turn camera on

If this does not solve the problem, do it again but turn it counter-clockwise

Lcd screen: lighter images flash from normal to

You are probably viewing the preview screen in "Highlight" mode. To fix this, use the dial button at the back of the D80 and click up (or down) to see another depiction of the preview screen. It will show you different options until you can see the normal picture without the flashing highlights. Hope this helps.

Hello,

If this is the same as my Nikon this is the overexposed highlight display option.
This shows areas of the photograph that are overexposed slightly.

On my Nikon I use the up and down arrows on the back to cycle the LCD display options.
Stop when you get a display that does not flash.

As for the focus problem check if you have set the front control to AF not M, also check if the lens is set to A not M.

Nikon D80 no picture number in LED & menu not working

Format the SD cards with the camera. You might have to do a software upgrade on the camera since the Kodak card files are different than Nikons.

Control Panel display no information.

Do you mean the control panel on top or the big LCD on the back?

The display on top should be showing you stuff like the shutter speed and aperture as you take the picture.

The display on the back will not show you the picture while you're taking it. The D80 does not have a Live View capability.
