When I don't have a card in the camera, the LCD screen constantlyreads "No Card
in Camera". However, this does not prevent me fromchanging settings. I can
readily access the menu, change the F stopsetting in my custom menu, and then
hit the menu button again (twice)to exit the menu. This changes my settings,
but the LCD screen willcontinue to remind me that there is no card in my
camera. If your istDoperates differently from mine there may be something odd
going on?
Also as a reminder there is a function that prevents you from doing ashutter
release unless there is a card in the camera -- I doubt thisis your problem
since the function is left off unless you with toactivate it. But I just wanted
to mention it as a related topic.
Good luck..
