[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 15990, member: 1061"] Okay...got this figured out after a call to the camera store and speaking to the resident Nikon pro who helped me out yesterday. Here's some good info to know: Yes, according to the menu, you can assign custom functions to the Fn and Aperture Preview buttons. However, this is not the case when it comes to bracketing for whatever reason. By default, the Fn button will activate bracketing mode. I didn't want it that way, however. On my old D90, I had the Fn button set up to open the top item in My Menu, so that's how I set up my D300s. I wanted bracketing mode instead of the Aperture Preview button. [B]But it doesn't work![/B] Bracketing mode worked just fine w/ the Fn button. Even the guy at the camera store was like "WTF?" He couldn't get it to work on his unit @ the store either. You simply can't assign bracketing mode to that button, even though it is an option in the menus. At any rate, problem solved. Must be a quirk in the firmware or something. [/QUOTE]
