Table of Contents

Sets the options for use of a GPS receiver connected to the

camera, and displays the current position (if connected).

See "Connecting to a GPS" on page <451>.

Non-CPU lens data

Provides the ability to add focal length and maximum

aperture information for older lenses that don't have CPUs

in them (basically, most manual focus lenses). See "Lenses

and Focusing" on page <360>.

AF fine tune

Provides the ability to tune the focus mechanism to better

correspond to an individual lenses performance. See

"Adjusting Your Lenses" on page <395>.

Firmware version

Displays the current firmware version of the camera (see

"Firmware Version" on page <218>).

Despite the name "SETUP", not all of the items grouped on

this menu are things that you do when you initially set up the

camera. I'll tackle the items on this menu in the order and

organization I think more appropriate.

Worse still, Nikon has gotten terribly confused on the

distinction between things you set while shooting

(SHOOTING menu), things you customize on the camera

(CUSTOM SETTING menu), and things you set up once

(SETUP menu). Just looking at the SETUP menu, you can

probably tell that there are items you use often and things that

you tend to do once or less often.
