Getting to Know Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control

Custom Settings

Most of the custom settings stored in camera memory can be viewed and adjusted from the Custom Settings window in Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control. For more information on Cus- tom Settings, see the documentation provided with your camera.

1 Select Custom Settings… from the Camera menu

The Custom Settings dialog for the current camera will be displayed ( 136).

2 Choose a Custom Settings bank (D2 series/D1 series/D200/D100 only)

Choose a Custom Settings bank (Custom Settings set) from the pop-up menu at the top right corner or the Custom Settings dialog.

The banks available depend on the model of camera currently connected. When the D1 or D100 is connected, you have a choice of banks A or B; when a D2-series, D1X, D1H, or D200 camera is connected, banks A, B, C, or D can be selected.

3 Click OK

After making any changes to Custom Settings, click OK to save changes in the camera Custom Settings bank and exit the Custom Settings dialog.

Changes to Custom Settings

Changes made to settings in the Custom Settings dialog are stored in the camera, not on the computer hard disk. This means that changing settings in the Custom Settings dialog has the same effect as chang- ing Custom Settings using camera controls.

Custom Settings

Custom Settings can not be saved to a separate file. Clicking the Reset button resets all Custom Settings to their default values.
