344 David Busch’s Nikon D7000 Guide to Digital SLR Photography

I tend to include frequently used functions that aren’t available using direct access but- tons in My Menu. For example, I include High ISO NR and Long Exp. NR, and Battery Info there, because I may want to turn noise reduction on or off, or check the status of my battery during shooting. I don’t include ISO, Qual, or WB changes in My Menu, even though they are available in the menu system, because I can quickly change those values by pressing their dedicated buttons and rotating the main and sub-command dials.

You can add or subtract entries on My Menu at any time, and re-order (or rank) the entries so the ones you access most often are shown at the top of the list. Here’s all you need to know to work with My Menu. To add entries to My Menu:

1.Select My Menu and choose Add Items.

2.A list of the available menus will appear (Playback, Shooting, Custom Settings, Setup, and Retouch menus). Highlight one and press the multi selector’s right button.

3.Within the selected menu, choose the menu item you want to add and press OK.

4.The label Choose Position appears at the top of the My Menu screen. Use the up/down buttons to select a rank among the entries, and press OK to confirm and add the new item.

5.Repeat steps 1-4 if you want to add more entries to My Menu.

To reorder the menu listings:

1.Within the My Menu screen, choose Rank Items.

2.Use the up/down buttons to select the item to be moved, and press OK.

3.Use the up/down buttons to relocate the selected item and press OK.

4.Repeat steps 2-3 to move additional entries.

To remove entries from the list you can simply press the Trash button while an item is highlighted in the My Menu screen. To remove multiple items, follow these steps:

1.Within the My Menu screen, choose Remove Items.

2.A list with checkboxes next to the menu items appears. Scroll down to an item you want to remove and press the multi selector right button to mark its box. If you change your mind, highlight the item and press the right button again to unmark the box.

3.When finished, highlight Done and press the OK button.

4.Press OK to confirm the deletion.
