I also listened for the sounds and all seem to working- the viewfinder temp blacked out and all the sounds seem to be on point with how they should be working. Sounds like I may have a really expensive problem. Darn, thought this was going to be easy and I was just not savvy with the camera! | |

I provided two more photos of the screens. Hopefully there is something glaring on there that helps fix this. I looked through my settings and only found a "reset menu" nothing that was clear to reset the camera.... | |
