When you modify these selections, be sure to scroll up to the
word Done and press the OK button to save your setting. I
keep forgetting to do this when I make changes (see
Figure 2-7 or Figure 2-8, image 3).
Now, let’s look at what each of these selections accomplishes
(see Figure 2-9-Figure 2-12). Remember that there will be a
slight difference in setting locations since the D300S and
D300 place them in a different arrangement. I am following
the D300S order since the camera is newer, although I’ve
provided screens for both cameras.
Focus point –
If you are curious about which AF sensor(s) is focused on
your subject during an exposure, this mode makes it easy to
see. As shown in Figure 2-9, if you are using Single-point AF
or Dynamic-area AF, you’ll see a single red AF indicator
where the camera was focused when you took the picture. If
you are using Auto-area AF, you’ll see all the AF points that
were providing autofocus in your image. This is a useful
function for reviewing how the camera’s AF system performs
in different imaging situations.
