re: "Eventually we discovered"
That is the reason for the so called factory reset key-combo.
One never knows what any previous user-owner has set, so a general reset is the only way to go.
The same is the reason for many-a-first question from the Nikon support staff "have you done a general reset?".

That was exactly what I suggested about ten seconds after we encountered the issue, " 'O', I can't do that... it will upset my settings..." was my buddies reaction. Wasn't my camera, so we went about it the hard way.It was further complicated by the fact that neither of us were familiar with the SB800 and we didn't know if it was the camera or the flashgun causing the 5 stop under exposure. Turned out it was 2 stops in the camera and 3 stops from the built in flash, which were being passed on to the SB800 but not appearing in the flashgun settings screen. We could see it in the exposure info, but not why.
