Re: D300 Colour profiles

The first one basically mimic the colour setting options of the D2H

When you go to shooting menu > set picture control,

You have a bunch of different options, standard, neutral, vivid and mono - but you can also copy over to your D300 around 4 custom ones.

I was actually looking for the colour settings as found in my D40 as I totally love the way it renders colour although I must add the D300 ones allow for more flexibility (I'm just quite used to the d40 ones).

Hope that helps!
