Menus cont: Custom Settings
![]() |
---|
The D7100's exhaustive variety of custom settings are split into seven color coded categories, labeled 'a - g'. This makes it easier to remember a specific option and quicker to enter the custom settings menu at the correct position. You can still scroll through all custom settings options as one big menu if you wish. An asterix (*) is displayed next to any category that has been altered from its default setting. And you can quickly restore all options to their defaults in one go with the 'Reset custom settings' item at the top of the menu.
