What it Does
It sets a few playback options.
What I Change
I leave it alone.
Delete
This is helpful if you want to delete all images while saving those you locked with the Key / AE-L
AF-L button (page 16).
I don't use this. I do all my editing and selection in my computer and I do my in-camera deletions
one-by-one with the trash can key.
Playback Folder
The camera can record to and play back from different folders.
CURRENT ignores photos in folders other than the one to which you're recording.
ALL shows you everything on the card. I leave my D40 set to ALL. It tends to reset itself to
Current, meaning it won't play images made on a different camera if they are on your card.
Rotate Tall
This is Japanese for rotating the vertical shots on playback, presuming you've set Auto Rotate to
ON in the Setup Menu (page 40).
It doesn't affect your images or files; it only changes how they are displayed on the D40.
Slide Show
This lets you amaze your friends with an exciting slide show on the tiny screen. I don't bother with
this. I guess it's popular in Japan. Whoo hoo! Let's all watch a show on a 2.5" screen! You could
plug the D40 into a TV or video projector, but video resolution is so bad everything will look awful.
Print Set
I never use this. I guess it's popular in Japan. This lets you mark images for printing if you sorted
and then printed directly from your D40, and had a lab which could read this data.
SHOOTING MENU (camera icon)
Many of these menu options are shown only after you select the FULL MENUS option in
the Setup Menu (page 35) and are often deactivated in anything except the P, S, A and M
modes (page 11).
