The first few days it worked well on my Z7. Then sometimes. Now it’s almost dead. For example, when I turn the camera on, monitor is off though it’s set to auto switch. Now I have to resort to only EVF, even for review. I’ve looked into the eye sensor, it’s clean, unobstructed. I vaguely recall someone else has also complained about it. Is there any setting/workaround? Thanks. (With 24-70S lens)

I adjusted the "Limit Monitor Mode Selection" in the setup menu and lost the back display for everything, couldn't get it back no matter how I set the options. I had to reset the menus to original to get it back. I haven't touched that setting since. I was going to wait and see if anyone else could shed some light on to what happened. If...

Hi Ernie

I did a "reset all settings" - not sure there is a harder reset available than this?
Thanks

I may have missed this but do you have a local Nikon camera dealer? It wouldn't hurt to see if they have any suggestions - if you can even make it do that while there.

I've found this happens on my Z7 if even a small piece of dust or similar settles on the evf sensor. A quick blow usually sorts it out. It seems quite sensitive

My Z7 Started this after a nature walk - blew off the area around the eyecup - fixed. It is VERY sensitive to debris!

Thanks!
 
I have the same problem with the Nikon Z6 II where the image from the rear monitor disappeared and a black screen appeared.

I got my camera fixed when I did the following:
  1. Turn on your camera. ...
  2. Press the MENU button to enter the main menu. ...
  3. Go to the SETUP tab menu. ...
  4. On the SETUP tab, scroll down to find RESET ALL SETTINGS.
