Nikon D300 - Technical LCD Monitor Information!

▪ Rotate tall – Allows you to choose whether
portrait-orientation images (verticals) display in an
upright position or lying on their side on the horizontal
Monitor.
▪ Slide show – Allows you to display all the images on
your camera’s memory card(s) in a sequential display,
like the slide shows of olden days (pre-2002). No
projector required.
▪ Print set (DPOF) – Lets you print your images directly
from a PictBridge-compatible printer without using a
computer—either by using Digital Print Order Format
(DPOF) directly from a memory card, or by connecting a
USB cable to the camera. (Available in our free
download section.)
Now, let’s examine each of these settings in detail, with full
explanations on how, why, and when to configure each item.
Technical LCD Monitor Information!
The D300(S) has a Monitor screen with enough resolution,
size, and viewing angle to really enjoy using it for
previewing images. It has full VGA resolution (640×480),
based on a 920,000 dot liquid crystal display (LCD). If you
read anywhere that the LCD Monitor screen has 920,000
pixels of resolution—or is higher than VGA—the writer is
uninformed. Nikon lists the resolution as 920,000 dots, not
pixels.
Don’t let the numbers boggle your mind. The bottom line
is that this 3-inch screen has amazing clarity for your
image previewing needs. You can zoom for review up to
