a partial solution in MY MENU, which allows you to
configure you own menu.
Here's my recommendation: look through the SHOOTING
and SETUP menus and note Menu Items you use a lot that are
buried down in these menus, especially ones that are on the
second or third page of Menu Items. The PLAYBACK and
RETOUCH menus are short enough that you don't usually get
much faster access by moving Menu Items from them to the
MY MENU. The Menu Items on the CUSTOM SETTINGS
menu are another candidate for MY MENU, but I tend to
suggest that you use the Custom Settings Banks to provide
quick access to common camera changes.
Whatever items you choose, add no more than eight of your
selected Menu Items to MY MENU. Adding more makes for
yet another scrolling list, and starts to defeat the purpose of
making controls more accessible.
Here are the things I put on my MY MENU:
Set Picture Control
ISO sensitivity auto control
Long exp. NR
Active D-Lighting
Non-CPU lens data
Clean image sensor
All these Menu Items take quite a few key presses to get to in
the regular menus, yet are things I use more frequently than
the Menu Items that are easier to get to.
To add an item to MY MENU:
1. Press the MENU button to see the menu system.
2. Use the Direction pad to navigate to the MY MENU
menu (white checked menu icon).
