SET UP MENU
(wrench icon)
How to Get Here
Select the Set Up Menu by pressing MENU, moving to the left and then up or down to
select the wrench icon. You'll then see SET UP MENU on the color LCD.
What it Sets
This sets the usual housekeeping like rotation, the clock and file numbering.
What I Change
I use to encode my © and contact
information into every file shot with my D200.
I also read the Battery Info often. You can't change it, just read it.
Format
duplic
I format my card every time I put it in my D200, and every time I go out shooting.
It's always best to be using a freshly formatted card.
To be safe, always reformat the card in the D200 after the D200 has been connected to
any computer.
Of course formatting completely wipes any photos off your card. Be sure to have these
photos transferred and backed up to at least two locations before formatting. See my
LCD Brightness
changes the midtones on the LCD. It doesn't appear to change the
intensity of the backlight. It seems to be a gamma (contrast) control.
For the adjustment to take effect you must remember to hit OK after making a selection.
I leave mine at 0.
Mirror Lock-up
isn't. It's not a lock up for telephoto lenses on tripods.
This setting is used to lock up the mirror to clean the CCD. I never use this, since I find it
easier to set the camera to Bulb and hold open the shutter.
Video Mode
sets the format of the video output.
