Nikon D200 - Manual (Page 37)

CUSTOM SETTING MENU
d1 - d8 SHOOTING/DISPLAY
How to Get Here
Press MENU, go to the left and select the pencil icon. You'll then see CUSTOM SETTING
MENU on the color LCD. Click down to d SHOOTING/DISPLAY and click to the right.
What it Does
This menu is a random jumble. These ideally belong in other menus. I'm sorry that Nikon
put a menu called Shooting inside a menu called Custom Setting, since it has nothing to
do with the larger
Shooting Menu .
What I Change
I change items d1, d2 and d6. I leave d3, d4, d5 and d7 alone.
d1 Beep Turn this OFF!!!
This is the idiotic and annoying focus confirmation beep. Turn it off!
d2 Grid Display are hairlines in the finder. I set them ON.
d3 Viewfinder Warning superimposes warnings on top of the finder image if you do
anything like have no memory card, have the D200 set to B/W or if the battery is low.
I leave these ON. I want to know these things!
d4 Shooting Speed selects the maximum frame rate of the CL (continuous low) frame
advance setting. I leave mine on 3 FPS.
d5 Exp. Delay Mode makes the D200 wait 4/10s of a second to release the shutter.
It flips up the mirror first. Try this if you're using a long lens on a tripod with exposures of
between 1/60 and 1/2 second, where mirror shake is the biggest problem.
d6 File No. Sequence ensures your file number keep counting up. Set this ON.
