Custom Setting Menu ( Pencil Tab) - Nikon D300 Complete Manual

You'll note that I use different settings for JPEG than I do for
NEF, and using banks allows me to make the switches with a
single menu command. You'll find a file with my settings on
the CD that you can load into your camera using Load/save

doing your own.
Note that these are not the same "banks" as in the Custom
Setting menu. Resetting and renaming the Shooting menu
banks has no effect on the Custom Settings banks, and vice

menu should have banks, too, and there should also be a set of Master Banks that
control which of the menu banks are in use. This would give you the ability to set the
camera very quickly to different behaviors. Yes, this means that the onus is on the
photographer to define and name all those banks well, but that's not as difficult as it
might seem: use Nikon Camera Control Pro 2.0! Not only is it quicker with a
computer to make all these settings and enter names, but you can save the result and
download it again later should you goof it all up in the camera.
