Hi Alan. Firstly - Great guide! Simple and clear, which for someone like myself is a necessity, lol!

Secondly - Is this how you would gain access to the menu, delete, and function buttons?

And last but certainly not least - Would you happen to know if this would (basically) be the same for a COOLPIX P520, by any chance? .

As you may’ve guessed, my P520 menu, delete and function buttons have suddenly stopped working, which makes 95% of my cameras functions and options unusable. After reading through your guide, I can see that the bodies for the two cameras are incredibly similar, so I thought you might be able to shed a little light on this for me. Thank you in advance! Toni
