D7: Lcd Illumination; D8: Exposure Delay Mode - Nikon D3X User Manual

d7: LCD Illumination

At the default setting of [Off ], the control panel backlights (LCD
illuminator) will only light while the power switch is in the D
position. If [On] is selected, the control panels will be illuminated
while the exposure meters are active (pg. 50). Select [Off ] for
increased battery life.

d8: Exposure Delay Mode

At the default setting of [Off ], shutter is released when the shutter-
release button is pressed. When shooting with [Tripod] selected in
live view mode (pg. 94) or in situations where the slightest camera
movement can blur pictures, [On] can be selected to delay shutter
release until about 1 s after the shutter-release button is pressed
and the mirror is raised.
