Custom Setting #D1 Sound Feedback Setting - Nikon D300 Complete Manual

5 min.
10 min.
Recommendations:
1. If you can tolerate it, change the delay time to a 10-
second value. You'll get slightly more exposures per
battery charge (assuming you work quickly and setting the
timeout lower doesn't force you to turn on the color LCD
more often).
2. Avoid the 1 to 10-minute delays unless you have extra
batteries handy.
3. If you're working with AC power or any battery connected
to the DC In connector, you don't need to worry about
this setting—it is automatically set to 10 minutes and you
can't alter that.

can be altered:
