Using My Menu
The last menu in the D7000’s main menu screen has two versions: Recent Settings and
My Menu. The default mode is Recent Settings, which simply shows an ever-changing
roster of the 20 menu items you used most recently. You’ll probably find it more useful
to activate the My Menu option instead, which contains only those menu items that
you deposit there extracted from the Playback, Shooting, Custom Settings, Setup, and
Retouch menus, based on your own decisions on which you use most. Remember that
the D7000 always returns to the last menu and menu entry accessed when you press
the MENU button. So you can set up My Menu (see Figure 10.25) to include just the
items accessed most frequently, and (as long as you haven’t used another menu), jump
to those items instantly by pressing the MENU button.
Switching back and forth is easy. The My Menu and Recent Settings menus each has a
menu choice called Choose Tab. Highlight that entry and press the right multi selector
button to view a screen that allows you to activate either the My Menu or Recent
Settings menu. Press OK to confirm. If you find your needs change so often that My
Menu is of little use, you might find the Recent Settings tab a better choice, because it
displays the actual menu items you’ve been using recently.
