Nikon users: "My MENU" What does yours look like?
May 19, 2018 14:31:33 #
Seems like I hear or read very little about Nikon's "My MENU" option. What confuses me the most is the fact that I find myself using mine all the time. A couple of my entries
are available on the top of my camera, however it is so much easier to see them in the monitor.
Could you please take a moment and list what you have in your "My MENU." It may be of some benefit to those who might need some guidance.
Mine looks like this:
1) ISO sensitivity settings
2) White Balance
3) Virtual Horizon
4) Battery Info
5) Image Quality
6) Primary Slot Selection
7) Secondary Slot Function

My Menu contains items that I use frequently but can't remember where to find them in the menu (probably because I put them in My Menu).
IPTC
Exposure Delay
Self Timer
GPS
Interval Timer
Silent Live View (on/off)
Save/Load settings
Battery info
(The order may vary between camera bodies)
My white balance setting is always on "Auto" because I shoot raw only
I never look at the virtual horizon for some reason (probably because I'm always in a hurry)
Image quality is always raw
In some bodies primary slot is XQD. In others, they're both XQD.
Secondary slot is always backup.
ISO is changed on the top.

I only have a few and they are used regularly except the Non CPU Lens DATA. Need to remove that as I sold off my manual focus lenses.

If my Nikons have a my menu option, I am completely unaware of it. I simply set the ISO, adjust shutter speed and f-stop to acquire the exposure I want and that's it.

CO, how did you get "Format memory card" into your My MENU? Let me know, I will definitely include it.

This is how I got it:
1) Select Add items in My Menu
2) Scroll down to SETUP MENU
3) Select Format memory card from the list.
