Nikon D700 keeps going into DX mode

9 years 9 months ago #388561 by KenMan
I just bought a used Nikon D700 yesterday and it keeps going to DX mode.  I have a full frame lens on it.  I have gone in menu and unchecked anything I could find with DX mode.  Yet it's in DX mode. 

Any ideas or did I get a lemon?

Shooting Menu >> Image Area >> Choose Image Area >> select FX

If that doesn't do it, the camera probably needs some fixing.

Try a different lens on it as well, if you haven't yet. It could be sending bad data to the camera. Could also need a cleaning?(You did NOT get a lemon, the D700 being one of the great bodies ever).......;)

Why so serious?
