Pressing the i button lets you quickly access those menu items you use the most. 

When you first pick up a digital camera, it may seem overwhelming with so many buttons, menus, screens and features. But there’s a shortcut system built into the Nikon Z fc that you can configure to include those features you use most. It is called the i-Menu, and once you set it up, you won’t need to dive through menus looking for the settings you use often.

The “i” menu can be accessed from either the physical “i” button on the rear of the camera body or via the touch screen LCD. Nikon preloads 12 most used video settings and 12 most used photography settings in the camera, but you can further customize the i-Menu to include only those features you often find yourself using. Just replace those features you rarely use with the ones you use all the time.  

Optimize the i-Menu for stills and video

The great thing about the i-Menu is that you can customize each position with one of 34 different options in the stills menu or choose from 22 different items in the movie menu. 

To change out the options for features that are accessible in the i-Menu, just navigate to the custom settings menu, which is represented by a pencil on the main menu screen. Then select G1 to customize the i-Menu for video or F1 to customize the i-Menu for still photography.
