To ensure that the camera shows the correct battery level when AA batteries are used, choose the ap- propriate option for Cus- tom Setting 32 (MB-D80

batteries) in the Custom Settings menu for the D80, or for Custom Setting d12 (MB-D80 battery type) in the Custom Settings menu for the D90. If the correct option is not selected, the camera may fail to function as expected.
