Just took delivery of a used D3. I want to completely wipe out the previous owner's settings, etc. Doing the two green button reset doesn't seem to do the trick. Is there a more extreme reset that will set it all back to factory? |

I don't think there is. You can try flashing new firmware that you download from the Nikon support site. |

Got this from the manual. |

I did that too, but the previous owner's titles of menus and settings remain... |

You will have to rename the banks your self. Can't find a reset for that in the manual. Default names are A,B,C,D. You will probably have to going to each bank and also do the reset like above. |

Is this your first camera with a dedicated OK button? |

I specifically remember having to delete the prior owner of my D700's copyright info because I could not find a way to reset it... |

Thanks everyone, yeah, spent about an hour last night wiping everything out, etc. I'm all set now. |
