david_h._hartman Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Does Nikon Capture or any other software allow setting personal defaults such that when I presses and hold the ISO and WB buttons the D2H is set to <u>my</u> defaults not the factory defaults.<br> <br> I want this capacity in the field. I do not want to be required to have the camera tethered to a computer. This was possible with the F5 though I never needed it. I sorely need this with the D2H.<br> <br> If this is not possible what can I do? Can I do this when the camera is tethered to a computer?<br> <br> Thank you!<br> <br> Dave Hartman.

michael_bradtke Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Dave I am not sure I understand your question. But in my way of thinking why not use the bank settings? Have say bank A set the way you want it and bank B set to the factory defaults. Hope I was helpful Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_h._hartman Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Michael,<br> <br> Thanks for the reply. My problem is sometimes I mess up banks I intend not to change. I dont think there is a way to lock the settings on a particular bank. That would help a lot. I have specific uses for banks A, B and D in both the shooting and custom settings menus. The C bank in both is for miscellaneous use.<br> <br> I believe there is a way to do something with Nikon Capture but I have not bought it and Im saving my trial for the wedding of a cousins son. Now I wonder if I can extract the manual without installing the trial version of Capture. That way I could study it a bit before using it. I know Capture is not really expensive but I became a home owner at the end of last year and the house is a fixer upper and I have no photo equipment budget this year. :( <br> <br> From the lack of responses I guess few want something like this which surprises me. Maybe most who would benefit from something like this shoot F2(s) and F3(s) to eliminate the problem altogether.<br> <br> Thanks!<br> <br> Dave Hartman.<br> <br> PS: the question was poorly written. I was in a hurry to get to work. Id like any way to straiten out messed up banks or basic camera settings without going to the cameras defaults. I want to rest to my own defaults.<br> <br> 2nd PS: I would think this feature, if available, would be indentical for the D2X. Any D2X owners have advice?

michael_bradtke Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hi Dave I have capture 4.4 and use it to control my D100 and D2h. I will have to dig up my CD and see what the manual has to say about that. Give me a day or two to see what I can find. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_bradtke Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hi Dave Well I did some looking at capture and you can save your settings to your computer and then reload them into your camera. You can also access all of the camera settings in Capture. Just so you know the help section on Capture is like most of the help sections of programs they suck. But it looks like you would need to have your D2h hooked up to a computer to reload the settings. Hope I was a little more helpful this time.
