First images on D300

With everyone getting new bodies, I think that separate section for you to proudly display your first image from your new acquisition is in order.

This applies to brand new bodies, as well as bodies that are simply newly acquired by you.

Francis,

I like the concept, but I'm wondering what focus mode you have the camera in?

It's difficult to quite see in the second, but the first seems to be focused just in front of the chess piece, hence my question.

Prettty sure it was on a single point right on the tip of the chess piece.

Francis,
You can load the original image onto a CF card, view in camera and turn on the focus point display during playback.
As its name suggests, it will display the focus point used as an overlay on the photo.
