Nikon
D300 Custom Functions Back |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This spreadsheet
allows you to record the custom functions saved in each menu and bank on the
camera. |
|
|
|
|
|
I've
carefully laid out the tabs and menus to match the camera as exactly as
reasonably possible. This allows for a
logical flow and makes it much easier to follow. |
|
|
|
|
|
Although
you can print the sheets and take them with you, that's not what they were
designed for. The intent is to use
this as a learning tool to understand your camera, and then document the
changes you have made to the menu system so you know what you did. It works best if you have the spreadsheet
open with your camera and user's manual in front of you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Select
a cell and you can choose an option for that function from a pick list
specific to that function. Note the
drop-down arrow at the right when you select this cell > |
|
|
|
|
|
When you
select a drop-down choice that is not the default, the choice will be
highlighted in light yellow. This
makes it obvious what you have changed and allows you to move quickly through
the camera menu to make your changes match the sheet. |
|
|
|
|
|
In some
instances, what is available in the pick list will change based on what you
select in a pick list that precedes it (like f4, f5, and f6 on the Custom
Settings Menu). |
|
|
|
|
|
Set up
your function choices using this spreadsheet, then go to the camera (or Nikon
Camera Control software) and select the Playback Menu, Shooting or Custom
Settings bank A through D, or Set Up Menu and adjust your settings to match. |
|
|
|
|
|
The new Nikon
Picture Controls are simply too complex to easily integrate into the
Shooting Menu sheet, so I have handled them separately on a new tab. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately,
beginning with the D300, Nikon has seen fit to allow you to save your custom settings
to your memory card (and computer).
You can then modify the settings on the fly, and can revert to your
saved settings without trying to remember what you changed. This is a huge improvement. But beware - the settings file is
erased if you format your memory card! |
