Chapter 4. Monitor Matters: Picture Playback, Live View, and Movie Recording
Without question, my favorite thing about digital photography is being able to view my pictures on the camera monitor the instant after I shoot them. No more guessing whether I captured the image I wanted or I need to try again, as in the film era. And no more wasting money on developing and printing pictures that stink.
Of course, with the D300s, you can use the monitor not only to review your photos, but also to preview them. That is, if you turn on Live View shooting, you can use the monitor instead of the viewfinder to compose your shots. And not just for still pictures: You can record short digital movies, too, complete with sound.
Because all these functions involve some of the same buttons, bells, and whistles, I cover them together in this chapter. In addition, this chapter explains how to hide or delete pictures that you don't like and protect the ones you love from accidental erasure. (Be sure to also visit Chapter 9, which covers some additional ways to view your images, including how to create slide shows and display your photos and movies on a television screen.)
