Difference between flash image on camera screen and PC

your subject maybe very near that's why the auto mode prevents you from closing the shutter. R just stands for remaining images in the buffer.

The D80 does not use the LCD screen to take images. The screen is only used to review images and use the menu system to check or change camera settings. When shooting, you need to use the viewfinder above the screen.

Check which version of firmware is installed in the camera. Go to Nikon web sit and download the latest version available. This may resolve your issue.

You are probably viewing the preview screen in "Highlight" mode. To fix this, use the dial button at the back of the D80 and click up (or down) to see another depiction of the preview screen. It will show you different options until you can see the normal picture without the flashing highlights. Hope this helps.

In the mountains, are you subjecting the camera to wide swings of temperature or humidity? These could cause your symptoms.

The feature you are referring to is called "Live View mode".

This is NOT available on the Nikon D80, and was only introduced on the D90, which is available now.

Live View mode allows you to use the LCD screen as your view finder instead of using the eyepiece, but unfortunately, this feature is not available in your model.

Hi there,
This happens when you accidentally press the up or down button when viewing images on the playback. If you press up or down a few times it goes to a screen that looks like normal playback but with the flashing highlights.
All you need to do is press up or down until it goes back to the normal screen.
Hope that helps!

All old lenses will work on the D90 the same way they work on the D80. Filters depend on the lens -- they either fit or they don't -- the camera has nothing to do with that. I wouldn't use old flashes on new DSLRs.

There really is no difference between the D80 and the D90 as far as lenses and flashes are concerned.

You should have no trouble using the SDHC cards. SDHC stands for Secure Digital High Capacity. The images should load directly from camera to computer, without the need for any additional hardware.
