Figure 3-2. Selecting and renaming a Shooting menu bank
1. Notice in the first image of Figure 3-2 that there’s a
selection called Shooting menu bank with an A after it
(unless you or others have previously changed to a
different bank, in which case it might be any letter A
through D). This means that your camera is using
Shooting menu bank A. If any letter other than A is
showing, you are using a different Shooting menu bank.
Let’s give the D300(S) Shooting menu bank A a new
label so that you’ll be able to see at a glance what this
particular bank is set up to accomplish. Scroll right using
the Multi Selector. The Monitor will switch to the screen
shown in image 2 of Figure 3-2.
2. Assuming that you haven’t yet renamed any of your
Shooting menu banks, you’ll see the four called A, B, C,
D, with a blank line following each, and a
selection called ABC Rename at the bottom. Scroll down
to ABC Rename and then scroll to the right.
3. The bank Rename screen, shown in Figure 3-2, image 3,
will appear. The factory default for an unnamed bank is
simply a blank field following the letter. In other words,
if you haven’t yet named your banks, you’ll simply see
the big letter A followed by a blank field. We’ll rename
our bank by selecting the top bank A and scrolling to the
right.
4. In the screen shown in Figure 3-2, image 4, you’ll see a
series of symbols, numbers, and letters on top, with a
line of dashes at the bottom. The dashes are where we’ll
put our text to rename the bank. In the upper-left corner
