1.5. Image Review
The factory default for the D300 is to leave the monitor turned off during picture taking. This saves battery life. However, the D300's battery is long-lived, since the camera does not use a lot of power. If you prefer to review or "chimp" each image after you take it, then you'll need to turn this feature On (Figure 5).
Image review settings:
On – Shows a picture on the monitor after each shutter release.
Off – Monitor stays off when you take pictures (Default).
Most of us will turn this feature on right away, otherwise the only way to view an image after taking it is to press the Playback button.
