27x for Large (L) images, 20x for Medium (M), and 13x
for Small (S). That’s zooming in to “pixel peeping” levels.
Now, if you want to get “technical”—here’s the extra geek
stuff.
Each “dot” on the Monitor screen has three color
segments, like on a computer monitor or TV screen—one
each for red, green, and blue (RGB) colors. Since only one
color segment at a time is used, the screen does not have
920,000 pixels of resolution. Instead, since it is only using
one third of each dot by turning one of its three
segments—red, green, or blue—it’s limited to an actual
pixel resolution of 307,200 pixels.
In other words, there are 920,000 dots, with each dot
divided into three segments. The three segments together
equate to one pixel, so the monitor is limited to ⅓ of
920,000 dots, or 307,200 pixels of real image resolution.
The VGA standard has 640×480 pixels, and since 640 ×
480 = 307,200, the Monitor screen on your D300(S) has
VGA resolution.
Delete
(User’s Manual: D300S page 221; D300 page 248)
The Delete function allows you to selectively delete
individual images from a group of images in one or more
folders on your camera’s memory card. It also allows you to
clear all folders of images, without deleting the folders. This
is sort of like a card format that only affects images. If you
