You can fine-tune the autofocus for up to 12 of your AF/
AF-S lenses. Later, the camera will detect which lens
you have mounted and correct for front or back focus
according to your settings.
Eye-Fi upload (D300S only) Use an Eye-FI Express
or Pro wireless SD card to transmit images from your
D300S to your home computer and 25 online services
(e.g., Flickr). Or use the Eye-FI X2 Pro cards to transmit
images directly to your Wi-Fi enabled computer using
AD HOC transfer. When using the D300S only, you’ll
have menu access to enable or disable uploading, along
with connectivity information.
Firmware version Discover the current Firmware
version installed in your camera. “Firmware” is the
camera’s operating system software embedded on
in-camera memory chips. It can be upgraded when
Nikon releases new firmware specific to your camera.
Let’s examine each of these settings in detail.
Format Memory Card
(User’s Manual – D300S page 301; D300 page 313)
Format memory card allows you to prepare your memory
cards for use in your new camera. The D300S has two
memory card slots, while the D300 has one. Since the
cameras have a different number of card slots, the Setup
Menu screens are different. The D300S has an extra screen
that allows you to select which card you want to format.
