Hey D300s users, I have a question for you guys... Can you change the aperture when shooting video? I.E.: Set to F22 to get as much DOF as possible, thus don't have to worry about things being out of focus.

Try setting the aperture first then get into Liveview. That's how it works in D90, see if it's the same.

 

[soonsoon]

yap.. the same.. change aperture have to ON and OFF video/LV to achieve the desired DOF.

I realized that the D300s have no D2X/D2XS colour modes as was provided in a firmware for the original D300.

Use Portrait or Landscape to get close to D2XModeI and D2XModeIII respectively. Anyway, the D2X Modes are not default in D300. You'll need to download them.

Any one using MAC? can D300s's RAW be process by Iphoto?

I don't think so, my mbp can't detect D300s when connected to mbp USB port. I think I will try again tmr.

Thanks for the information. I didn't see any Portrait or Landscape modes for the D300s (there shouldn't be any right?).

i believe lsisaxon is talking about this:

Landscape Mode

Portrait Mode

I do not see any support YET for D2X Mode on D300S.

Thanks for the information, will keep an eye out for updates in the future.

I didn't know it's optional. These 2 modes is already predefined in D90, so I thought the D300s would come with these modes as well.

Can the D2X modes for D300 be used with D300s?

I thought put your HCSD into the card slot of MacBook Pro should be everything auto?

I did that with my Nikon D60 photos, no problem... wondering D300s can or not...
