If any of you Nikon honks could help me out, it would be much appreciated.
I'm teaching a class on how to use a DSLR...and this time around, I've got a class of all Nikon shooters (on purpose).
Now, the older or more entry level model have three AF modes. AF-S, AF-C and AF-A.
AF-S being the 'single shot' mode.
AF-C being the continuous mode (AF Servo in Canon speak)
and AF-A being the 'hybrid' mode, similar to 'AF Focus' in Canon speak.
Now, my question is about some of the newer/higher level models that don't specifically have AF-A...but instead have several other AF options. In my class, there is a D300 and a D300s.
Can someone give me a debriefing on those other modes & options? I don't have access to these cameras but I'd like to have a better understanding of these cameras, in order to better help my students.
I am downloading the manuals and I'll read through them when I have some time...but it may be hard to figure out, as I won't have a camera to play with.
