If certain settings are greyed out in the Nikon D80 menu and you can’t change settings, then it is most likely because you’re operating your camera in full Auto ‘green’ mode. Change it to any of the ‘MAPS’ modes, and see if you get control again.

The manual is useless for this procedure as is the Nikon website. Thanks. I have a D80 and can’t turn the RGB Histogram off. The manual is useless for this procedure as is the Nikon website. Thanks.

Sometime I kick exposure compensation up +0.3 if the arena is really dark in the corners.

They are so helpful so thank you! I have been shooting with the d80 since the summer and have tried to progress from auto to ap to shutter now to manual. I have recent;y started playing around with the ISO levels to shoot indoors with less flash. The pics are coming out so noisy around 640. Is that the way it is or is there something I can do to avoid this? My noise reduction is set to on. I am so grateful for sites like this on the net. They are so helpful so thank you!
