Hi Guys i'm sorry to sound an idiot here but i wonder if someone could guide me to try to understand the Custom menus in the d800.
As i am confused with it!!
As i understand it there are 4 custom menus A,B,C,D IN the "Custom settings Bank" which is the "Pencil" icon!! Each of these you can set up individual settings independent from A or B or C etc right? And each of the A, B, or C etc you can rename them, for e,g Studio, Landscapes etc
If i click the "Camera icon" the top choice is "Shooting Menu Bank" These are another set of individual settings that are "Also" named A,B,C,D which you can ALSO rename to settings of your choice AND can be different from the "Custom settings Bank"!!
But the menus in the "Shooting menus Bank" are less detailed than those in the "Custom menu Bank"
THEN you have "MY Menu" where you can quickly assign your own personal menu, for the options that you choose most often!! This i like i understand!! LOL
Now the part i am confused ...is when i press the release trigger, which "Menu Bank" is being used??? Is it the "Shooting Menu Bank" Or the "Custom menu Bank" ???
I believe these menus are common to other Nikon Cameras? But i am new to Nikon SO EVERYTHING is New to me, so sorry guys to sound like an idiot here!!
What i would like to know from the experienced of you who use the menus a lot, can you give an example on how you use the Memory banks, do you find them useful, or just plain complicated??
I can see "My Menu" seems an obvious easy way to only choose the options the a photographer uses the most!!
But these Memory Banks A,B,C,D are confusing to me!!
i am just getting used to this Camera, and new lens, in the end i went for a Nikon 24-70 2.8 i love the lens but i cant help thinking I wished the Nikon lens had VR, i am just in the testing phase of using this camera, and at the moment i worry about camera shake!! I was initially thinking about the Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC... But in for a penny in for pound and bought the Nikon... Also the Camera action seems to be noisy to me, but that probably because i am a newbie to this caliber of camera!!
