Scene Recognition System

N/A

Scene Recognition System enables face detection. Face Detection System: Information from the 420-pixel RGB sensor is used to recognize the subject or scene conditions prior to capture. The results are then reflected in auto exposure, autofocus, and auto white balance for highly accurate control. Face Detection System information from the sensor is applied to AE, AWB, face priority AF (Live View), and zoom playback.

Scene Recognition System furthers the use of the D300 1,005-segment RGB metering sensor to recognize colors and light patterns that help camera determine the subject and the type of scene being photographed, before a picture is taken.

Leveraging the data provided by the1,005-pixel RGB Matrix Meter, the SRS in the Nikon D300 provides more precise subject identification, optimizing autofocus, exposure and white balance detection.

N/A

Automatic Image
Brightness Correction

D-Lighting which is a process applied to the image after capture.

Using D-lighting on the D80 will create a copy of the original image with D-lighting applied while keeping the original intact.

Four settings Include: Moderate, Normal, Enhanced and Off.

Active D-Lighting: Natural tone gradation can be reproduced with proper contrast while compensating shadows and highlights

Four settings include:
Extra High, High, Normal, Low or Off
Auto: enables appropriate setting automatically in accordance with the dynamic range of the subjects.

D-Lighting after image is taken is available (post process in camera, 3 settings, high, normal, low. Can be adjusted using Nikon Capture NX2 software)

Active D-Lighting: Natural tone gradation can be reproduced with proper contrast while compensating shadows and highlights

Three settings include:
High, Normal, Low or Off
Auto: enables appropriate setting automatically in accordance with the dynamic range of the subjects.

D-Lighting after image is taken is available (post process in camera, 3 settings, high, normal, low. Can be adjusted using Nikon Capture NX2 software)

The Auto Lighting Optimizer on the EOS 50D Digital SLR camera has been updated not only to optimize images while they are being taken, but the user can also optimize images post-capture, during playback, to help ensure the subject of each image does not appear too dark.

Image Highlight Tone Priority: Use C.Fn II-3 to select on / off
