Auto-area AF mode

Nikon’s exclusive AF systems have been widely praised by demanding professionals for their superior accuracy and amazing speed. And the D300S’s Multi-CAM 3500DX AF sensor module offers an exceptionally wide area of AF coverage. With 51 AF points densely positioned across the frame, it is designed to capture your subject accurately, even when its movement is unpredictable. Moreover, it employs 15 powerful cross-type sensors in the center of the frame to give you the ultimate in detection performance with any AF NIKKOR lens of f/5.6 or faster. You can also choose to shoot with 11 focus points. The D300S provides three AF area modes: Dynamic-area AF, single-point AF and auto-area AF.

Dual card slots

The D300S provides dual card slots for different card types, enabling you to use both CompactFlash* and SD memory cards and to designate the primary recording slot. For the secondary slot, you can select from three recording methods: “Overflow” recording lets you use the memory capacity of the secondary card when the primary card is full, automatically; “Backup” recording stores the same images on both cards; and “RAW primary, JPEG secondary” recording lets you record RAW data and JPEG data separately to each card. Furthermore, when shooting D-Movie clips, it allows you to select the slot containing the card with the most available capacity — a significant benefit. You can also copy images between the two memory cards.
