Nikon D200 - Manual (Page 38)

If you leave it at default you'll start from DSC_0001 every time you reformat. Over time
you'll have hundreds of photos on your computer all called DSC_0001.
Set it to ON, which should be the default but isn't.
d7 Illumination turns on the top LCD light anytime the meter is on. Default only turns
this on when you press the light button located with the power switch .
I leave this option off.
d8 MB-D200 Batteries tells the D200 what sort of batteries are in this grip. You'll get
more accurate battery readings if you set this.
Leave this alone if you're using the usual EN-EL3e battery.
CUSTOM SETTING MENU
e1 - e8: BRACKETING/FLASH
How to Get Here
Press MENU, go to the left and select the pencil icon. You'll then see CUSTOM SETTING
MENU on the color LCD. Click down to e BRACKETING/FLASH and click to the right.
What it Does
It sets flash function and completely unrelated bracketing options.
What I Change
I change e1, e2 and e4. I leave the rest alone.
e1 Flash Sync Speed lets you select a lower flash sync speed. You might want to
choose a slower speed to let in more ambient light, but I select that with the next option.
This menu lets you select 1/60 through 1/250.
Also where you select AUTO FP if you wish to use the trick FP high-speed sync modes.
e2 Flash Shutter Speed selects the slowest shutter speed with flash in the P and A
modes.
