Nikon D200 Custom Functions - Version 1.5 (26-Feb-2006)
This spreadsheet allows you to record the custom functions saved in each bank on the camera or both the Shooting Menu and Custom
Settings Menu
Select a cell and you can choose an option for that function from a pick list specific to that function.
Set up your function choices using this spreadsheet, then go to the camera (or Nikon Capture Camera Control software) and select the
Shooting or Custom Settings bank A through D and adjust your settings to match.
Version Notes:
Ver 1.0
Ver 1.0 - Produced by Don McVey December 2005 (DWM at Nikonians.org)
Ver 1.1
Ver 1.1 - Small modifications by CIH December 2005 (CrashMeister at Nikonians.org)
Ver 1.2
a.)
b.)
c.)
d.)
Ver 1.2 - Modifications by David Voss December 2005 (SoCal Dave @ Nikonians.org):
> Submenus Added for Custom Image Enhancement Options (Shooting Menu > Optimize Image)
> Submenus Added for Flash Commander Mode (Custom Settings Menu e3)
> Improved User Manual Page References
> Personal Settings for Shooting Menu and Custom Settings Menu Added as Additional Sheets
Ver 1.3
a.)
Ver 1.3 - Modifications by Brian Allston (28-Dec-2005) (Brian_A at Nikonians.org):
Protected the worksheets to prevent accidentally changing labels and default values. No password was used so they can be unprotected as
required.
Added conditional formatting to the user data cells which highlights the cell whenever the value not set to the default. This supercedes the
macros installed in ver 1.2. The macros have been removed.
Removed the "N/A" option from the "Optimize Image" and "Built-In Flash Mode" sub-menu items. These sub-menu items have conditional
formatting that render them invisible unless the associated main menu item is set to the required value. Otherwise, the formatting is as
stated in #2.
Froze the pane to keep the row and column labels and defaults stationary while scrolling.
General clean-up of some validation list for readability and use by the conditional formatting.
b.)
c.)
d.)
e.)
Ver 1.4
Ver 1.4 - Modifications by Don McVey (25-Feb-2006) (DWM @ Nikonians.org)
Added Playback Menu Tab to complete the listing of all custom settings in all available menus.
Added Optimize Settings Tab to show what effect the image setting choices have on individual parameters.
Added Set Up Menu Tab
Miscellaneous minor changes for clarity.
Ver 1.5
a.)
Ver 1.5 - Modifications by CIH February 2006 (CrashMeister at Nikonians.org)
Combined Playback & Setup pages. Moved the Optimize Image Settings page to the end of the Shooting Menu page to be with the data it
references. Reduced 'Yellow' intensity (old eyes); modified appearance for printing; modified printing settings for each page so that each
page can be printed on the minimum number of sheets with appropriate headings etc.. As now defined, it prints very nicely on my color laser
(Lexmark C510). YMMV, depending on your printer.
Added FOCUS MODE and Optimal Shutter Speed pages. (I cannot remember where I got the original focus mode page, so my apologies to
the original author for not giving you credit here). I did however modify it so that the icon order matches the camera, reworded the 'How it
works' and added the 'Used For' column. Many thanks to 'Digital Dave' for his article "Understanding Nikon Multi-CAM 2000 Autofocus".
Everyone with a D200 should read it as it applies almost 100% to the CAM 1000 as well.
Please post your contributions to the 'Optimal Shutter Speeds' page on the Nikonians website.

Depending on angle from camera to path of ball.
Will give a range of prop blur.
Depends on panning. Slower speeds show wheel movement which indicates car
Daytime. Night - get the best shutter speed you can. Always shoot wide open or close
