Menu/Features of Custom Setting—continued

15.Delay time for auto meter-switch off (page 17)

Options 4 : 4 sec.

6: 6 sec. (initial setting)

8 : 8 sec.

16: 16 sec.

At default setting, the exposure meter automatically turns off 6 sec. after turning the power switch on or lightly pressing the shutter release button. However, it can be changed to 4 sec., 8 sec. or 16 sec. (Note that the usable number of film rolls per batteries decreases with the longer delay time for auto meter-switch-off since it consumes more power.)

Options 2 : 2 sec.

5: 5 sec.

10: 10 sec. (initial setting)

20: 20 sec.

At default setting, the shutter is released 10 sec. after the shutter release button is fully depressed in self-timer operation. However, this can be changed to 2, 5, or 20 sec.

17.LCD illuminator activated by pressing any button (page 63)

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting) 1: Enabled

At default setting, turning the power switch to Πactivates the LCD illuminator. However, it can be set to be activated with a press of any button.

18.Data imprint (year/month/day/hour/minute) on frame #0 (page 92)

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting) 1: Enabled

With optional Data Back MF-29, data (year/month/day/hour/minute) can be set to be imprinted on frame #0. To imprint data on frame #0 only and not on frame #1 on, cancel the data imprint on the MF-29 after film is automatically advanced to the first frame.

19.Aperture control (pages 50-53)

 

Options 0: Aperture value remains (initial setting)

 

1: Aperture step from the lens’ maximum remains unchanged

 

When a Micro Nikkor lens is extended or the focal length is changed with a

 

zoom lens in which maximum aperture varies with focal length, the aperture

 

value set with the Sub-Command Dial remains. However, it can be changed

 

to keep the aperture steps from the lens’ maximum aperture (in Aperture-

74

Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode).

 

Example: When AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 is attached and f/8 (two

 

steps from the maximum aperture of f/4) at 70mm is set on the lens,

 

Setting

zooming up to 210mm does not change the aperture of f/8 with “0: Aperture

 

value remains” setting. However, when the “1: Aperture step from the lens’

 

maximum remains” is selected, aperture changes to f/11, two steps from the

Custom

maximum aperture of f/5.6 at 210mm.

 

 

 

20.Shutter release confirmation with self-timer LED

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting) 1: Enabled

At default setting, aperture can be set using the Sub-Command Dial in Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode. However, it can be set to be changed using the lens’ aperture ring with CPU Nikkor lens other than G- type.

•Aperture will be displayed in one steps and regardless of the setting in Custom Setting menu 12, the aperture can only be selected using the lens’ aperture ring.
