StandardDescription
This guide, another installment by J. Dennis Thomas, was released in late 2009 to address the specific upgrades found in the Nikon D300s—the "S" refresh of the original D300. While the primary hardware remained similar, this book focuses heavily on the new features that defined the D300s: the addition of 720p HD video recording (D-Movie), dual card slots (CF and SD), and the dedicated Live View button. For your archive, this literature represents the rapid iteration of digital technology where "refresh" models were released to keep pace with the growing demand for video capabilities in professional DSLR bodies. It includes specialized sections on managing dual-slot overflow and backup workflows, as well as updated advice on using the 51-point autofocus system in conjunction with the newer "Quiet Shutter" mode. Like its predecessor, it serves as a bridge between the clinical factory manual and real-world professional application, offering a snapshot of the high-end DX-format ecosystem at its peak.
