works. This setting comes in two parts, according to what
mode the D300(S) is currently using.
When I refer to the name in green (Multi selector center
button), I’m speaking of the Custom Setting by that name.
When you see it in blue (Multi selector center button), I’m
discussing the physical Multi Selector. See the color legend
page at the beginning of this book.
The D300S and D300 are different in how the Multi Selector
is made. Nikon added an actual button to the center of the
Multi Selector on the D300S. The D300 requires that you
press the entire Multi Selector to achieve the same result.
In other words, on the D300S you press the Multi Selector
center button, while on the D300 you press the center of the
Multi Selector.
To cut down on confusion, I am going to use the name Multi
selector center button for both of these styles of pressing the
middle of Multi Selector in this section. When you see that
name, know that it means you should press the center of the
Multi Selector, extra button or not.
The two modes that affect how the Multi selector center
button works are the Shooting and Playback modes:
▪ Shooting mode is in force when you’re using the camera
to take pictures.
▪ Playback mode is in use when you are examining
pictures on the rear Monitor.
Let’s look at each mode in detail.
