Reset Your Camera Settings

The idea is to play around with your settings to learn what each of them do, right? But sometimes you end up changing so many things you don't know how to get back to the settings you prefer. Quickest fix for that is the reset your camera settings back to factory settings.

{ Nikon }

Press the 'menu' button on the back near your LCD display.

Press the left button near the 'OK' button to make sure you have the left side of the menu highlighted on the LCD display.

Use the up and down buttons near the 'OK' to scroll to the 'pencil' icon.

When the 'pencil' icon is highlighted, press the right button near the 'OK' to highlight the right side.

Scroll up and down until you have 'Reset' highlighted, then press 'OK'.

Scroll down one to 'yes', and press 'OK'. Your default factory settings are now back to when you originally purchased your Nikon SLR camera.

{ Canon }

Press the 'menu' button, then the up button above the 'OK' as many times as needed, until you see the top folders are highlighted.

Press the right button near the 'OK' until you see the last folder highlighted. You will know this is highlighted when you see the first menu option that says 'Language'. The 3rd one down from that says 'Clear Settings'.

Press the down button under the 'OK' until 'Clear Settings' is highlighted, then press the 'OK' button.

Scroll up to your choice and press 'OK' to reset your Canon SLR back to default factory settings.
