Save/Load Settings

You can store many camera settings to your memory card in a file named NCSETUP5, and then reload them later using this menu item. This is a good way to archive your favorite camera settings for the Playback menu, Shooting menu, Custom Settings menus, Setup menu, and all My Menu items. You can restore your settings if you’ve messed them up, or save multiple sets of settings to multiple memory cards. You can save only one group of settings at a time to a particular card; the default name NCSETUP5 cannot be changed. Well, it can be changed in your computer, but if you do, the D7000 will not be able to find it on the memory card. If you want to save mul- tiple settings, simply use multiple memory cards. This might be a good use for all those 256MB SD cards you have left over from your point-and-shoot days.

Note that storing/restoration is an all-or-nothing proposition. When you select Save Settings, all your current settings are stored on the memory card; choose Load Settings, and the camera’s current settings are replaced with the values stored on the memory card.
