Accessory Terminal: If you attach one of the available accessories into
the Accessory port on the left side of the camera, selecting this menu
option leads to settings that control the accessory.
✓
Wireless Mobile Adapter: If you purchase the optional WU-1a wireless
mobile adapter, use this menu option to enable and disable the transmit-
ter on the adapter. The feature chugs battery juice, so keep the option
set to Off while you're not using the transmitter.
✓
Firmware Version: Select this option and press OK to view which ver-
sion of the camera firmware, or internal software, your camera runs. You
see the firmware items C and L. At the time this book was written, C was
version 1.00; L was 2.002.
Keeping your camera firmware up to date is important, so visit the Nikon
website ( www.nikon.com ) regularly to find out whether your camera
sports the latest version. You can find detailed instructions at the site on
how to download and install any firmware updates.
Restoring Default Settings
You can quickly reset all the options on the Shooting menu by selecting Reset
Shooting Options, as shown on the left in Figure 1-23 . Likewise, the Setup
menu also has a Reset Setup Options item to restore all settings on that
menu, as shown on the right.
Figure 1-23 :
Choose the Reset option to return to the default settings for the respective menu.
A few potential flies in the ointment:
✓
Resetting the Shooting menu defaults wipes out any customizations
you made to a Picture Control setting — for example, if you tweaked
the Vivid setting to produce even more saturated colors than it does by
default. Chapter 6 talks more about this feature.
