the D300. The Monitor will stay on until the time-out period
expires.
When I take a picture, I like to review it on the Monitor. I am
an admitted and shameless “chimper” (slang for excessively
viewing the image playback). In the old film days, one could
not tell whether the image was just right. Now that I have an
opportunity, I love to look at each image. If it looks good, I
move on to another image opportunity.
The D300S and D300 have a major variation in the way they
handle this time-out. The D300S allows you to select
individual display time-outs for the following:
▪ Playback
▪ Menus
▪ Information display
▪ Image review
The D300 puts all of those under the one Monitor off delay
time-out instead, with no way to change them individually.
Here are the delay values available for the D300S (all values
except 4 seconds are available for the D300):
▪ 4 s – 4 seconds
▪ 10 s – 10 seconds
▪ 20 s – 20 seconds
▪ 1 min – 1 minute
▪ 5 min – 5 minutes
▪ 10 min – 10 minutes
