New 12.3 megapixel DX-format
CMOS image sensor
Developed to provide the highest level of
DX-format photographic performance and
assuring response needed for virtually any
shooting conditions, the new 12.3 effective
megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor
for the D300 also delivers compact Nikon
DX-format system size and technology
advantages. Its integrated analog-to -
digital converter offers the ability to select
between high quality 12-bit or 14 -bit
conversion, and its design encompasses a
broad light sensitivity range of ISO 200 to
3200, (plus Lo 1, IS0 100 equivalent and
Hi 1, IS0 6400 equivalent). High-speed
output enables rapid continuous shooting
and realizes the new Live View shooting
modes. The Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF)
not only helps prevent moiré, color fringing

and shifting, but also functions as part of
Nikon's first Self-cleaning Sensor Unit built
into the D300.
Self-cleaning Sensor Unit
The D300's Dust-reduction System with
the new Self-cleaning
Sensor Unit uses four
dif ferent resonance
frequencies to vibrate
the OLPF in front of
the image sensor and
shake particles free.
Nikon's EXPEED for a new level of
processing speed and precision

Digital Image Processing concept marks
the culmination of years dedicated to
a d va n cin g p h o to g ra p hi c a n d digi t al
imaging technologies to best satisfy the
needs of photographers. The processing
system developed for the D300 applies
optimized technologies based on the
EXPEED concept to deliver processing
power that not only extends the achievable
levels of high resolution, fine detail and
high image quality, but also improves
system performance for faster continuous
shooting, faster memory card access and the
implementation of the Live View shooting
modes. All internal processing is handled
in full 16-bit color, rendering improved
tone characteristics, finer detail and higher
image quality, all at outstanding speed
that exemplifies this level of precision.
Additionally, lateral chromatic aberration
reduction effectively reduces color bleeding
around the image periphery.
