display will be bright also, so that it can overcome the
ambient light.
The D300S and D300 vary the name of this setting
significantly. The D300S calls this function Information
display to more closely match newer sibling cameras, while
the older D300 simply calls it Shooting info display. It does
the same thing, no matter what you call it.
The D300S adds a second screen I call the Information
display edit screen, which we discussed a few pages back.
That second screen is not available in the D300. The
Information display edit screen’s color is not affected by the
Information display setting on the D300S.
The D300S also has an extra button when compared to the
D300. On the D300, you have the Protect/Help/Info button.
On the D300S, Nikon added a completely separate Info
button to make things a little easier, in addition to adding
more functionality to the Information display. To open the
Information display on the D300S, you press the
stand-alone Info button. To open the Shooting info display on
the D300, you press the Protect/Help/Info button.
Figure 4-40, images 1 and 2, compare both cameras’ “info”
buttons. Image 1 shows the Info button for the D300S. It’s
located on the back of the camera just below the AF-area
mode selector and LV button (red arrow). Image 2 shows the
Protect/Help/Info button for the D300, just below the MENU
button (red arrow).
