NIKON - calibration reset?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Pulled a stupid - accidently plugged my coolpix 4300 into a
microprocessor I had been using to experiment with some control software.

The end result is that all of the automatic color balance options are
screwed. Pictures come out pink or blue. If I manually white balance,
everything looks fine.

Has anyone ever heard of a magic sequence to reset the coolpix line or
is this a "put it in a box and send it to nikon moment?"

tnx

Is there a reset button somewhere? Sony's, palms, ect seem to have a
little button hidden that you have to use a paper clip to press to
reset. Check manual.

Failing that, I took my sony p32 partially apart after the flash
failed and noticed that there is a button cell to save settings. I'd
be a little bit carefull with that one though.

Have you gone though every setting shown in manual to see if you just
have a value you missed messed up?

Some cameras have a "factory - reset" in a tiny hole under the batery hatch
or the memory card hatch. I would look for that.

Usually it neest to be reset with a straightened paperclip.
