I couldn't do that John, none of the buttons were working as posted. Turns out the control module was damaged, but I have arranged for it to be fixed and the seller has looked after me.

That's what I'm hoping Graham and am looking into that. Also waiting for a communcation regarding the refund too. Yes, tried all of that.

Didn't work either Graham.

No good to me Rich, the QUAL button isn't working.

How do I do that? I've looked at the bottom by the serial number and there is a recess but no reset button as on other camers. It came from eBay, with buyer protection, so I'll see how I get on with that. Thanks guys for the help so far.

Well even the foreign office are having to cut back these days :)

Oh b*llox. Thanks Rich for clearing that up, will have to look into getting it fixed I guess.

The dial that sets the drive modes works fine, but the buttons above don't seem to do anything at all, regardless of whether I am turning the control wheel on the right hand side. Seems a bit odd and wonder if it's actually broken.

As has been posted, Tescos do them and I am pretty sure you can get them in Wilko and Poundstretcher, etc. Not for about 20 years, much rather have FR, besides you can't stack Toffifee up into a big pyramid and they're not classy enough for an Ambassador's party.

Hi guys, I've bought myself a (used) D300s, which I am in the process of learning. All seems to be well except the buttons above the command dial on the LHS that control ISO, WB and Quality. These don't seem to work no matter what shooting mode I have the camera set on. Also, is that dial...

Would just be nice to have the option and something I would like to understand more/learn about/whatever - and besides, why not?

Thanks for the info guys - yes one of the reasons I want to upgrade the D40 is because it only goes down to ISO200 - I'd like to get down to ISO100 at least.

Good to know. I see the D90 is sub £500 body only (no point in me buying a kit lens that does no more than the lens I have does) and I'm sure I can offset part of the cost by selling my D40 when I finally get around to doing so as I'm not a pro and won't need a second body.

Thanks guys, that's useful information. I appreciate there will be a cost involved in upgrading, but as I am not a pro I doubt I will need a second body so would probably offset the cost by selling my D40.

Guys - I've been using my D40 for around 18 months now, just wondered what the next step up the ladder was - new or used - for somebody who doesn't have a massive budget. Only things I'd like are the facility to drop to 100ISO and a built in focus motor. I have a couple of Nikon fit lenses that...
