The rear panel function buttons (ISO/QUAL/WB) are not working - but I can adjust those setting in the menu. Is there any chance that I somehow locked something, or do I need to send it in? It s D3s. Thanks!

What happens when you push one of those buttons? They are meant to be used in concert with either the main or secondary command dials to make adjustments on the fly to ISO, quality or white balance.

Of course, nothing happens when I push only those buttons - but when I do push them in conjunction with the bottom right dial, etc, nothing happens either - the way it has for the last 3 years I've had the camera. Does work with the top right dial.

Not having a D3s I don't know whether the 'bottom right dial' serves for other purposes, too, and which would allow thereby for testing it - however, my impression is that there is a problem with that button (somebody having a D3s might tell if THIS ONE can be configured).

If it would be oxidized or broken, the camera would need return to a Nikon repair center.

I think the "bottom right dial" is the thumb wheel for the vertical grip. I don't know if it should work for this input or not as I have never thought of changing these settings while holding the camera vertical. I just checked how it works on a D700 with MB-D10 and it works for changing the settings as long as the vertical shutter button is active. I think it should work the same way on the D3 and D3s. I have never owned a D3, but I have rented them now and again.
