Do you have your D300(S) set up exactly the way you like it?
Have you spent hours and hours with this book and the user's
manual, or simply exploring menus, and finally got all the
settings in place? Are you worried that you might accidentally
do a reset of your camera or that it could lose its settings in
one way or another? Well, worry no more!
Once you have your camera configured to your liking, or at
any time during the process, simply use the Save/load settings
function to save the camera configuration out to your memory
card. It creates a tiny 2K file named NCSETUP5.BIN
(D300S) or NCSETUP1.BIN (D300) in the root directory of
your memory card. You can then save that file to your
computer's hard drive and keep a backup of camera settings.
Here are the screens and steps to save or load the camera's
settings (see Figure 5-30):
1. Choose Save/load settings from the Setup Menu and
scroll to the right.
