Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu

BNotes on Converter

Be sure to select the appropriate option when using a converter lens. Select [None] when no converter lens is attached.

At settings other than [None], the built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off. [Continuous flash] cannot be used. Flash units (available separately from Nikon) can still be used, although the converter may cast shadows in pictures shot with the Speedlight SB-400, SB-600, or SB-800

(A139; a wide panel is recommended when shooting with the Speedlight SB-600 or SB-800). Check pictures in the monitor after shooting.

OUser Setting

Fourteen shooting menu settings and three button operations can be stored in two separate “banks,” n and o. Assigning different settings to each bank allows for quick adjustment of settings to suit a variety of situations. The setting assigned for each function is stored, as is, in the designated user setting bank when the camera is turned off. The following settings can be stored in user setting banks.
