D-Range Optimizer for
superior exposure balance
An advanced D-Range Optimizer helps ensure
beautifully balanced exposures in backlit situa-
tions. In Standard mode, it optimizes brightness
and contrast for the image overall, and in
Advanced mode, it optimizes each area of the
composition separately to bring out maximum
shadow and highlight detail. The D-Range
Optimizer can be used on all image formats in
all metering modes.
ISO3200 sensitivity setting for
low-light shooting
High-sensitivity ISO3200 and 1600 settings let you take advantage of
low-light photo opportunities with condence. When shooting at these
higher settings, the BIONZ engine assures the highest possible image
quality by applying high-ISO noise reduction immediately before each
image is processed. This, together with powerful Super SteadyShot
®
image stabilization, enables you to use faster shutter speeds in low light,
and greatly expands the range of situations in which you can shoot.
3 fps continuous shooting* and
center-cross 9-point AF
The 300 features three frame-per-second continuous shooting that's
great for sports and action sequences, and a center-cross 9-point
autofocus system that boasts one of the quickest response times in its
class. The AF system also oers high predictive focusing accuracy when
shooting moving subjects, and exclusive Eye-Start
®
activation, which re-
duces missed shots by automatically focusing the camera for you as soon
as you put your eye to the viewnder.
Versatile 40-segment
honeycomb-pattern metering
When you're using the optical viewnder, the 300’s 40-segment, honey-
comb-pattern metering system gives you the versatility you need to get precise
readings under a wide range of shooting conditions. It also gives you a
choice of multi-segment metering, center-weighted metering, and spot
metering mode to suit your subject and shooting conditions.
All digital SLR cameras are susceptible to dust contamination when
changing lenses -- it's a fact of life. But the 300 employs built-in sys-
tems to keep the sensor clean, and your images beautiful. First, there's
an anti-static coating to help prevent dust from adhering to the low-
pass lter and other internal components. And to dislodge any parti-
cles that do manage to reach the CCD, the sensor is vibrated at ultra-
high speed every time the camera is switched o.
The 300 is equipped with an advanced Super SteadyShot
®
image
stabilization system to help prevent blurring caused by camera shake.
Built right into the camera body, the system works with any lens,
enabling you to capture sharp images at shutter speeds 2.5
-
3.5 steps
slower than would otherwise be possible. And that means you can en-
joy the freedom of unencumbered handheld shooting in situations
that would normally require the use of ash or a tripod.
