Display Mode
(User’s Manual: D300S page 247; D300 page 250)
The Display mode selection allows you to customize how the
D300(S) displays all those histogram and data screens for
each image. If you want to see a lot of information on each
image, you can select it here. Or, if you would rather take a
minimalist approach to image information, turn off some of
the screens.
If you turn off certain screens, the camera still records the
information for each image, such as lens used, shutter speed,
and aperture. However, with no data screens selected, you’ll
see only two screens. One is the main image view, and the
other is a summary screen with a luminance histogram and
basic shooting information. I have not found a way to turn
this summary screen off. You get to the screens by using the
Multi Selector to scroll vertically. I leave my camera set so
that I can scroll through my images by pressing left or right
on the Multi Selector. Then I can scroll through the data
screens by scrolling up or down with the Multi Selector.
There are some textual differences between the D300S and
D300 Display mode screens. The D300S takes Highlights out
of the Basic photo info section and places it under Detailed
photo info.
Here are the selections found in this menu item and a
description of what each does:
