For those of you counting Custom Settings as if more were better, please note that the D40
intelligently has this one Custom Setting controlling what takes two custom settings in the D80
(Custom Setting 27 and Custom Setting 28), and adds a third setting, Image Review Time-Out,
not available in the D80 at any price. HA! (The D80 always has image review at 4 seconds, while
the D200 keeps image review on for the same time chosen in Custom Setting c5.
16 Self Timer
This selects the time, presuming you have the self timer (page 19) active, between pressing the
shutter and the shutter firing.
I leave this at 2 seconds, since I use the self timer only if I forgot my ML-L3 remote control.
I use my ML-L3 remote, not the self timer, if I'm taking pictures of myself.
17 Remote On Duration
This selects how long the D40 stays awake waiting to be released by the ML-L3 remote control,
presuming you've set it to work via remote control (page 28).
The default is one minute, which is silly, since when I'm using my remote I don't want to have to
take a picture every minute or have to reset my D40 to pay attention again.
I set mine to 15 minutes.
SET UP MENU (wrench 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).
How to Get Here
Select the Set Up Menu by pressing MENU, moving to the left and then up or down to select the
wrench icon. You'll then see SETUP MENU on the top of the color LCD.
What it Sets
This sets the usual housekeeping items like languages, video formats, auto image rotation, the
clock and file numbering.
What I Change
This menu contains the secret message mode (page 38) I use to encode my © and contact
information into every file shot with my D40.
