Custom Setting d8: MB-D200 Battery Type

To ensure that the camera functions as expected when AA batteries are used in the optional MB-D200 battery pack, match the option selected in this menu to the type of bat- tery inserted in the battery pack. There is no need to ad- just this option when using EN-EL3e batteries.

LR6 (AA-size Alkaline)	Select when using LR6 alkaline AA batteries.
(default)
HR6 (AA-size Ni-MH)	Select when using HR6 NiMH AA batteries.
FR6 (AA-size Lithium)	Select when using FR6 lithium AA batteries.

Custom Setting e1: Flash Sync Speed Setting

This option controls flash sync speed. Options range from / s (1/250 s, the default setting) and / s (1/60 s). To enable Auto FP High-Speed Sync when using Speedlights that support the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS), se- lect 1/250 s (Auto FP) (flash sync speed will be set to / s if the built-in flash fires or the attached Speedlight is not

CLS-compatible). When the camera shows a shutter speed of / s in exposure mode P or A, Auto FP High-Speed Sync will be activated if the actual shutter speed is faster than / s.

Fixing Shutter Speed at the Flash Sync Speed Limit

To fix shutter speed at the sync speed limit in shutter-priority auto or manual exposure

modes, select the shutter speed after the slowest possible shutter speed (30 s or). An X will be displayed in the flash sync indicator in the control panel and viewfinder.

Using AA Batteries

EN-EL3e batteries are recommended for best performance. The capacity of AA batteries drops sharply at temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F) and varies with make and storage condi- tions; in some cases, batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Some AA batteries can not be used; due to their limited capacity and performance characteristics, alkaline and nickel-manganese batteries should be used only when no other alternative is available. The camera shows the level of AA batteries as follows:
