Super SteadyShot

Inside for

greater handheld shooting freedom

The

300 is equipped with an advanced Super SteadyShot

stabilization system to help prevent blurring caused by camera shake.

Built right into the camera body, the system works with any

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.

Anti-dust protection for cleaner images

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 .

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 con dence. 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.

The

300 features three frame-per-second continuous shooting that's

great for sports and action sequences, and a center-cross 9-point

lens,

autofocus system that boasts one of the quickest response times in its

class. The AF system also o ers high predictive focusing accuracy when

shooting moving subjects, and exclusive Eye-Start

duces missed shots by automatically focusing the camera for you as soon

as you put your eye to the view nder.

* Up to 2 fps with live view. Number of recordable frames varies according to shooting

conditions and type of memory media.

Versatile 40-segment

When you're using the optical view nder, the

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.
