Just got a camera back from the fix-it place. They installed the current firmware - 1.10 - and there is a bunch of new stuff in the "re-touch" section.
The camera is stuck in the "overlay" mode and I can't get it off.
Every time I take a shot, that shot is overlayed by the next 2-3 shots and it ends up being a blurry mess.
Can't find a thing online about the new firmware or new retouching options.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks -
Sandy

I have not yet done the firmware update - it may be helpful to read the update info on the Nikon USA website, as seen here:
The alternative is to redo the firmware update yourself, which will wipe the memory clean when it uploads the new firmware. This will in effect be a reboot. You may loose all your settings and profiles.
Make sure you start with an empty CF card, that you reformat inside the D800 first, before doing the upgrade.
Hopefully this will clear the "stuck in overlay" mode.
Frederick's idea is a good one. However, you might want to contact the 'fix-it' place first and work with them. Assuming they guarantee their work, they shouldn't charge you for the fix.
Sorry to hear you're having this issue, and I hope you can get it resolved as painlessly as possible.
