LCD Monitor

The D300s' 3.0", 920,000 dot LCD monitor is quite stunning. It allows for easy viewing and zooming of images during playback, and allows up to 72 viewable thumbnails on screen. The image playback information options are extensive, and can be customized. They include file information, overview data, GPS data (if attached), RGB histogram, highlights, and four pages of shooting data. Auto image rotation can also be turned on if desired, although it is often useful to leave this off if you shoot in portrait orientation, as it will allow you to review the images with the camera still vertical and utilize the full height of the LCD screen. The camera is also now aware of what lens is attached and what VR mode is active; it can display this during playback.
