exhausted, and then the D7000 switches to the other. You can choose the order in which
this switch-off takes place.
The default setting is MB-D11: Use MB-D11 Batteries First. You can also specify
D7000: Use Camera Battery First. If you were using AA alkaline batteries in the MB-
D11 as an emergency reserve, you’d probably want to use the D7000’s internal battery
first, so the alkalines wouldn’t be prematurely exhausted and could live to shoot as
backup another day. If you’re using an EN-EL15 in the MB-D11, and shooting a lot,
you might want to use the MB-D11 battery first, and use the camera’s battery as a
backup, because the MB-D11 battery can be changed more quickly, and without remov-
ing the grip from the D7000.
e. Bracketing/Flash
There are lots of useful settings in this submenu (see Figure 9.10) that deal with brack-
eting and electronic flash (hence the cleverly concocted name). I’ll provide a thorough
description of using bracketing in Chapter 4, and a complete rundown of flash options
in Chapter 12. Here, I’ll offer an introduction to the settings at your disposal.
