Page 4 of 8 Dynamic Integrated Dust Reduction System Nikon has finally introduced a camera with dust cleaning system, a technology pioneered by Olympus. Nikon calls their sensor cleaning system the Dynamic Integrated Dust Reduction System where ultrasonic sensor unit is implemented to minimize degradation of image quality due to dust particles. The system is similar to the one on Olympus E-system dSLR, according to Nikon.  Nikon D300 Sensor unit with Low Pass Filter and cleaning unit Battery Grip Operation With the battery grip, one can select focus point in portraits mode too as there is navigation buttons on it. Once installed, the battery inside the D300’s body will automatically serves as backup and will only be used once the battery in the grip is empty. The most exciting feature of the battery grip is its ability to shoot at high continuous speed of 8-frame-per-second with 8 x AA alkaline batteries or the EN-EL4/ EN-EL4a used by the D3 or D2 series camera. It is not possible to achieve 8fps with an additional EN-EL3e.  BL-3 Battery Chamber Cover Unlike D200’s battery grip, the MD-B10 can only be inserted with one EN-EL3e battery. With MS-D10 (included), 8 AA batteries can be used. With BL-3 Battery Chamber Cover (not included) the EN-EL4/EN-EL4a batteries can be used. For those who are considering doing 8FPS with EN-EL4/ EN-EL4a, do keep in mind that if you do not have any Nikon D2 or D3, you will need to purchase the EN-EL4a and its charger MH-21 which cost approximately USD$250 (RM 850). In Malaysia, the EN-EL4a cost RM400 and MH-21 retails at RM450. In addition, the BL-3 battery chamber cover is needed too. Do remember to add this to your cost when planning on purchasing a battery grip. |
