Using
Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 software with the Nikon D300
Connecting a computer to the Nikon D300 with either a USB cable or the
Nikon Wireless Transmitter WT-4 allows for the remote control of most
of the D300 functions and the preview of images before they are
transfered to the computer. Liveview functions and the Picture Control
System are fully supported and the images can be transfered directly
into a Capture NX or View NX workflow.
The interface is comprised of four windows:
1. Viewer window - comes up very quickly and can be set to thumbnails
or a single image preview with various magnifications.
2. Status window - shows a histogram and the status of the images as
they are transfered from the camera.
3. Camera Control Pro window - allows access to remote triggering,
camera settings, menus, etc.
4. Live View window - live view from the camera on the computer's
screen in either hand held or tripod modes.
New functions only available to the Nikon D300 (and D3)
Images in a camera buffer can be confirmed with thumbnail or preview
display on a computer prior to transferring, enabling deletion of
unnecessary images. This remarkably increases efficiency.
Supporting the Liveview mode (Hand-held mode and Tripod mode) of the D3
and D300, it permits adjustment of focus point and shutter release
while confirming the image on a computer. In Tripod mode, focal-plane
contrast AF on a desired point within a specific area is possible.
It also supports Picture Control System of the cameras. Picture Control
parameters can be selected and adjusted on a computer, and custom
curves (tone compensation data) can be created and registered
51-point AF can be controlled and displayed.
Fine tuning of the new white balance is available.
