New 3-in. high-resolution 
VGA LCD monitor 

The D300 features an 
expansive new 3-in. 
VGA  LCD  monitor. 
Its  unprecedented 
approx. 920,000-dot 
resolution and reduced flicker digital output 
assures  clear  and  detailed  image  display, 
which is invaluable for confirming focus or 
assessing image sharpness at up to 27 times* 
magnification. A wide 170˚  viewing  angle 
from all directions and bright display makes 
it  easy  to  view  images  or  confirm  menu 
settings when shooting outdoors. Playback 
options include single frame, 4 or 9-image 
thumbnail  display,  as  well  as  channel-
independent RGB histogram and highlight 
point displays. Tempered glass protection 
enhances D300 durability.

New Wireless Transmitter 
WT-4/4A

*1

 (optional) 

Nikon's  Wireless  Transmitter  W T- 4 / 4A 
delivers  the  convenience  and  efficiency 
of  extended  image  transfer  options  via 
IEEE  802.11b/g/a  wireless  connections,  as 
well  as  wired  10BASE-T  and 
10 0 BA SE-T X  connec tions. 
New Thumbnail Select mode

permits thumbnail display of 
images taken with up to five 
wirelessly connected cameras 
on a computer display. Images 

LCD monitor

Use Live View's Tripod mode and the 3-in. high-resolution LCD for confirming subjects that offer a 
challenge when focusing through the viewfinder. For even more assurance, install Camera Control Pro 
2 software and use Live View to confirm each shot on your computer's monitor before releasing the 
shutter remotely.

Two Live View modes for framing 
and composition using the LCD

Nikon's new Live View function* enhances 
the D300's fast image processing capacity 
and large, high-resolution LCD to offer a 
new level of creative potential that lets you 
use the LCD in place of the viewfinder for 
confirming subjects and composition when 
you  cannot  physically  see  your  subject 
through  the  viewfinder,  or  where  exact 
focus is crucial. Remote preview, focusing 
and shooting from a PC (wired or wireless) 
are  also  available  when  using  optional 
Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 software.

*  Although  Live  View  can  be  used  for  up  to  an  hour, 
the function is automatically terminated if the camera's 
internal  temperature  rises  beyond  set  parameters.  In 
such a case, a 30-second countdown timer appears in the 
upper left corner of the LCD monitor before Live View 
shooting ends.

Hand-held mode

 

Hand-held mode and the LCD's 170° wide 
viewing  angle  are  a  great  help  when 
shooting from high or low angles that make 
it difficult to see through the viewfinder, 
such  as  when  holding  the  camera  above 
your head to shoot over a crowd. You can 
easily recompose the frame prior to actual 
shooting  using  standard  phase-detection 
AF and all 51 AF points.

photography in a studio environment. High-
precision focal plane contrast AF using the 
D300's CMOS sensor achieves pinpoint focus 
on the subject. And the ability to zoom in 
up to 13 times on the area surrounding any 
focus point serves as a major aid to even 
more precise focus adjustment.

The ultimate balance 

of advanced function

From Live View to wireless image transfer 

and remote camera control, each function is designed 

to maximize creative productivity

Camera Control Pro 2 (optional)

Camera  Control  Pro  2  remote  control 
software  lets  you  change  most  camera 
settings,  take  photos  and  transfer  image 
data  remotely  from  a  computer  via  USB, 
Firewire (IEEE 1394) or Wi-Fi connections. 
A revised interface ensures easy operation 
and  efficient  workflow.  Included  is  the 
n ew  e nhan ce d  V iewe r  f un c tio n  that 
quickly  transfers  thumbnail  and  preview 
images to the computer, making it easier 
and quicker to confirm which shots should 
be transferred and which will be deleted 
without transferring the actual image data.

Camera  Control  Pro  2  adds  support  for 
controlling advanced new features of the 
D300  and  D3,  including  the  new  Picture 
Control System, the 51-point AF system and 
the  new  double-axis  white  balance  fine-
tuning scheme, which adds a vertical axis of 
color cast direction for more precise control. 
Of particular note is added support for Live 
View, with full control over the respective 
features of Hand-held and Tripod modes.

ViewNX

Designed  to  suppor t  the  viewing  and 
assessment of large collections of images in 
full size or handy thumbnail sizes, ViewNX 
(available as part of the Software Suite CD-
ROM) makes it easier to browse, compare 
and organize files. Moreover, compatibility 
with  C ap ture  N X  enable s  pro du c tive
