I would suggest that you save your current camera settings to a memory card. Once done, I recommend that you fully reset the camera to its factory defaults.

Your viewfinder status screen appears to be in a test mode where it displays all of its indicators. I assume you tried removing the battery and letting the camera sit for a few minutes without a battery?

What happens if you go into the tools section of the menu and turn off electronic level display? Does it have any effect?

Agree with Rodger. There is no standard camera setting that will produce that display pattern. In addition to removing the battery try powering camera on and cycling the shutter button a few times to drain any stored charged.

What status was the camera in before the display showed like it is now? Taking photos, just powered on etc.?

So, after taking photos you powered down camera and the next day when you turned it back on you had the problem?

Have you tried removing the battery and cycling power & shutter button?

Does the camera take photos in the condition it is in?
