The same is true for other custom settings you make in the camera. One that I\u2019ve done more than once is to leave the self-timer setting turned on. It was an embarrassing situation the next time I pressed the shutter button because nothing seems to be happening until I heard the \u201cbeep-beep-beep\u201d of the self timer winding down. I then remembered that I forgot to check the camera settings before taking the shot. <\/p>\n
Check your owner\u2019s manual for information on restoring the default settings. On the Canon XSi, for example, I reset the ISO, exposure, etc., to the original settings with these steps: <\/p>\n
Press the MENU button.
\n Press the right cross key to highlight the third Tool icon and press the SET button.
\n Press the cross key to select \u201cClear settings\u201d and press the SET button.
\n Press the up cross key to select \u201cClear all camera settings\u201d and press the SET button
\n Press the right cross key to confirm and and press the SET button. <\/p>\n
You have two ways to reset the Nikon. One way is through the menu system (image here is the Nikon D5000). Another way is simply to press and hold down the [I] button and the [info] button at the same time. If you cannot find these buttons, look for a green dot on top of the camera and a green dot on the back of the camera. Keep in mind you will not receive a confirmation message if you use this method.<\/p>\n
Press the MENU button.
\n Press the down Multi selector to highlight CUSTOM SETTING MENU and press the SET button.
\n Press the Multi selector to select \u201cRESET CUSTOM SETTINGS\u201d and press the OK button.
\n Press the up or down Multi selector to confirm. <\/p>\n
