D300 Displays
The D300 features three displays, all of which can present
information about the current camera settings.
On the top of the camera is the familiar (to 35mm film users)
informational panel (called the Top Control Panel by Nikon),
though it displays additional information not found on the
film bodies. This monochrome LCD is primarily used to show
the camera’s main shooting modes, exposure settings, frames
shot and remaining, and active primary features. Most of the
information on the top LCD is associated with camera
controls on or near the top of the camera. A few of the areas
on this LCD have multiple uses, so pay close attention to the
information being presented. In this book, whenever I refer to
“top LCD,” I’m referring to this display.
