3D-tracking automatically switches the point of focus to maintain precise subject lock Single-point AF lets you select any individual focus point for shooting still subjects Dynamic-area AF modes are useful for tracking moving subjects over a wide area New precision 51-point AF system Featuring the world's largest nu m b e r *1 of focus points laid out in an intelligent cross-type sensors array of 15 cross-type sensors and 36 vertical sensors, Nikon's new Multi- CAM 3500DX autofocus module maximizes the potential of lenses with maximum apertures of f/5.6*2 and instils the D300 AF system with a new level of speed, precision and high-density frame coverage. Benefit s gained from working with Nikon's new Scene Recognition System and improved focus algorithms also contribute to the system's impressive performance. The 51-point AF system also allows the use of an 11 focus point mode. *1 Among digital SLR cameras as of August 23, 2007 (according to research conducted by NIKON CORPORATION) *2 Depending upon the shooting conditions, some lens and teleconverter pairs will limit the function of the upper and lower three cross-type sensors to line sensor operation, even if the combined theoretical aperture is f/5.6. Dynamic-area AF modes Dynamic-area AF allows a choice of three different size areas using groups of either 9, 21 or all 51 focus points. Also available is 51-point Dynamic-area AF with 3D-tracking; automatic focus point switching that takes full advantage of all 51 AF points as it uses color and light information to accurately track the subject. Acquisition of winning performance High-speed shooting at up to 8 fps The D300 is capable of shooting continuous bursts of up to 100 shots*1 at a rapid 6 fps*2, and as fast as 8 fps*3 when using the Multi- Power Battery Pack MB-D10. *1 NORMAL - LARGE image setting, using a SanDisk Extreme IV CompactFlash card *2 When using one Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e *3 8 fps requires either 1) Multi-Power Battery Pack MB- D10, Battery Chamber Cover BL-3 and either Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4/EN-EL4a or 8 R6/AAsize batteries or 2) AC Adapter EH-5a/EH-5, all of which are sold separately. Response that's always ready to go Power-up within 0.13 s, a shutter release time lag of 45-milliseconds*1, and viewfinder blackout time of approx. 90 -milliseconds*2 contribute to optimized all-around performance that lets photographers respond to any sudden shutter opportunities. *1 When shooting in JPEG, TIFF or 12- bit NEF (RAW) formats *2 When shooting at 6 fps, 86-milliseconds when shooting at 8 fps Pinpoint precision, responsive shooting and total flexibility to capture any subject, anywhere 10 • Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED • 1/2000 second, f/7.1 • White balance: Auto • ISO sensitivity: 400 • Picture Control: Standard 11
