Custom Setting d8: MB-D200 Battery Type
To ensure that the camera functions as expected when AA
batteries are used in the optional MB-D200 battery pack,
match the option selected in this menu to the type of bat-
tery inserted in the battery pack. There is no need to ad-
just this option when using EN-EL3e batteries.
Option Description
LR6 (AA-size Alkaline)
(default)
Select when using LR6 alkaline AA batteries.
HR6 (AA-size Ni-MH) Select when using HR6 NiMH AA batteries.
FR6 (AA-size Lithium) Select when using FR6 lithium AA batteries.
ZR6 (AA-size Ni-Mn) Select when using ZR6 nickel-manganese AA batteries.
Custom Setting e1: Flash Sync Speed Setting
This option controls fl ash sync speed. Options range from
/ s (1/250 s, the default setting) and / s (1/60 s). To
enable Auto FP High-Speed Sync when using Speedlights
that support the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS), se-
lect 1/250 s (Auto FP) (fl ash sync speed will be set to / s
if the built-in fl ash fi res or the attached Speedlight is not
CLS-compatible). When the camera shows a shutter speed of / s in exposure
mode P or A, Auto FP High-Speed Sync will be activated if the actual shutter
speed is faster than / s.
To fi x shutter speed at the sync speed limit in shutter-priority auto or manual exposure
modes, select the shutter speed after the slowest possible shutter speed (30 s or
).
An X will be displayed in the fl ash sync indicator in the control panel and viewfi nder.

Using AA Batteries
EN-EL3e batteries are recommended for best performance. The capacity of AA batteries
drops sharply at temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F) and varies with make and storage condi-
tions; in some cases, batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Some AA
batteries can not be used; due to their limited capacity and performance characteristics,
alkaline and nickel-manganese batteries should be used only when no other alternative is
available. The camera shows the level of AA batteries as follows:
