|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board D3 locking up mirror for cleaning question Debra L Rothenberg, Photographer New York | NY | USA | Posted: 11:14 PM on 05.31.10 ->> in the past I have used this function but tonight it is a shade of gray, not letting me click on it. Does anyone know why and how to get it to where I can click on it?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'd swap out for a fully charged one (or charge the one you have) and then try it. It should work. Joe  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Even if the battery power is at 3/4, it may be grayed out. A fresh 100% battery will solve that.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I will charge it up and give it a try. Thanks for the help. DLR  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
