Custom Setting d8: MB-D200 Battery Type To ensure that the camera functions as expected when AA batteries are used in the optional MB-D200 battery pack, match the option selected in this menu to the type of battery inserted in the battery pack. There is no need to adjust this option when using EN-EL3e batteries. Option Description LR6 (AA-size Alkaline) (default) Select when using LR6 alkaline AA batteries. HR6 (AA-size Ni-MH) Select when using HR6 NiMH AA batteries. FR6 (AA-size Lithium) Select when using FR6 lithium AA batteries. ZR6 (AA-size Ni-Mn) Select when using ZR6 nickel-manganese AA batteries. Custom Setting e1: Flash Sync Speed Setting This option controls flash sync speed. Options range from s (1/250 s, the default setting) and / s (1/60 s). To enable Auto FP High-Speed Sync when using Speedlights that support the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS), select 1/250 s (Auto FP) (flash sync speed will be set to s if the built-in flash fires or the attached Speedlight is not CLS-compatible). When the camera shows a shutter speed of s in exposure mode P or A, Auto FP High-Speed Sync will be activated if the actual shutter speed is faster than s.

The capacity of AA batteries drops sharply at temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F) and varies with make and storage conditions; in some cases, batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Some AA batteries can not be used; due to their limited capacity and performance characteristics, alkaline and nickel-manganese batteries should be used only when no other alternative is available. The camera shows the level of AA batteries as follows: 160 Control panel (blinks) Viewfinder Description - Batteries fully charged. Low battery. Ready fresh batteries.
