        Hello Lightstalking friends:  I’ve been enjoying this group for quite a while, and I have a question.  Last week I was reviewing photos I had taken.  So I was not shooting; I was looking at completed photos on the LCD screen of my Nikon D3100.  I must have hit one of the buttons with my thumb or finger because I got a “box within a box” in the lower right-hand corner.  At some point it disappeared.  Was it some kind of cropping box or live view?  I tried following the instructions for live view and also for face priority in my user’s guide but couldn’t duplicate the mysterious box.  Do any of you know what I inadvertently created?  Thanks.

          Sounds to me like to did 2 things.

          Preseed the + button to increase the magnification of the LCD. Then the direction pad to move that magnified square around.

          Other than that I am not sure what it could be. Though I am sure somebody else here will.

              Thanks, Rob.  I’ll experiment with that.
