Mastering The Nikon D3000

Th e Setup menu in the Nikon D3000 consists of a series of basic camera settings not directly related to taking pictures. Th ey cover things like the LCD brightness, the camera’s Firmware version, the default Language, and the image File number sequence. You’ll be able to set your camera’s Time zone and date, Format memory card, set Viewfi nder options, and modify several other functions.

The icon for the Setup menu looks like a wrench. When you press the Menu button, it’s the third menu down the menu tree on the left. See FIG 1for a look at the Setup menu location. Make sure the camera’s Mode dial is not set to GUIDE or you won’t be able to use the older-style Setup menu. Please do not confuse this menu with the Guide Mode’s Setup menu. In this chapter, we’ll examine each setting in detail.

Let’s start with the first menu option, Reset setup options. Reset Setup Options Th is is a simple function you might use if you sell your camera or if you just want to partially start over with the Setup menu options. It basically just resets the Setup menu to factory default values. It does not reset all of them, however. Not affected by Reset setup options are the Video mode, Time zone and date, Language, and Active folder settings. Here are the steps to cause a Setup menu reset (see FIG 2):

1. Press the Menu button and scroll to the Setup menu.
2. Select Reset setup options, and then scroll to the right.
3. Select Yes or No from the menu.
4. Press the OK button and the reset will occur. If you ever want to start fresh with most of the Setup
