Custom Setting
15 .Delay time for auto meter-switch off (page 17)
Options 4 : 4 sec.
6 : 6 sec. (initial setting)
8 : 8 sec.
16 : 16 sec.
At default setting, the exposure meter automatically turns off 6 sec. after
turning the power switch on or lightly pressing the shutter release button.
However, it can be changed to 4 sec., 8 sec. or 16 sec. (Note that the usable
number of film rolls per batteries decreases with the longer delay time for
auto meter-switch-off since it consumes more power.)
16 .Delay time for self-timer operation (page 67)
Options 2 : 2 sec.
5 : 5 sec.
10 : 10 sec. (initial setting)
20 : 20 sec.
At default setting, the shutter is released 10 sec. after the shutter release
button is fully depressed in self-timer operation. However, this can be
changed to 2, 5, or 20 sec.
17 .LCD illuminator activated by pressing any button (page 63)
Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)
1 : Enabled
At default setting, turning the power switch to Πactivates the LCD
illuminator. However, it can be set to be activated with a press of any button.
18 .Data imprint (year/month/day/hour/minute) on frame #0 (page 92)
Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)
1 : Enabled
With optional Data Back MF-29, data (year/month/day/hour/minute) can be
set to be imprinted on frame #0. To imprint data on frame #0 only and not on
frame #1 on, cancel the data imprint on the MF-29 after film is automatically
advanced to the first frame.
19 .Aperture control (pages 50-53)
Options 0: Aperture value remains (initial setting)
1 : Aperture step from the lens’ maximum remains unchanged
When a Micro Nikkor lens is extended or the focal length is changed with a
zoom lens in which maximum aperture varies with focal length, the aperture
value set with the Sub-Command Dial remains. However, it can be changed
to keep the aperture steps from the lens’ maximum aperture (in Aperture-
Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode).
Example: When AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 is attached and f/8 (two
steps from the maximum aperture of f/4) at 70mm is set on the lens,
zooming up to 210mm does not change the aperture of f/8 with “0: Aperture
value remains” setting. However, when the “1: Aperture step from the lens’
maximum remains” is selected, aperture changes to f/11, two steps from the
maximum aperture of f/5.6 at 210mm.
20 .Shutter release confirmation with self-timer LED
Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)
1 : Enabled
At default setting, the self-timer LED only lights in the self-timer operation.
However, it can be set to light immediately before shutter release in normal
operation.
21 .AE-L/AF-L button options (page 41/54)
Options 0: Simultaneous Auto Exposure/autofocus lock operation (initial
setting)
1 : Auto Exposure lock only
2 : Autofocus lock only
3 : Auto Exposure lock remains after removing finger from the
button
At default setting, Auto Exposure and autofocus are locked simultaneously
when the ‚ button is pressed. However, it can be set to be locked
separately or exposure remains locked after removing your finger from the
button and released when the ‚ button is pressed again or picture is taken.
22 .Aperture setting with lens’ aperture ring (pages 50-53)
Options 0: Disabled (initial setting)
1 : Enabled
At default setting, aperture can be set using the Sub-Command Dial in
Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode. However, it can be set to
be changed using the lens’ aperture ring with CPU Nikkor lens other than G-
type.
• Aperture will be displayed in one steps and regardless of the setting in
Custom Setting menu 12, the aperture can only be selected using the lens’
aperture ring.
