Nikon has confirmed that its new D3 and D300 models will now support a D2X mode, so that the colour reproduction of the older version will be replicated on the new cameras.

The firm has made three picture controls available, emulating the colour modes I to III on the Nikon D2X, Digital Photography Review reports.

Each mode is suitable for different types of shot: the first is ideal for skin tones, the second is suitable for images that are going to be retouched or processed, while the third is designed to cater for the landscape and natural shots, offering more vivid reproduction of green and blue colours.

The three settings are available to download from Nikon and have been designed to allow photographers to upgrade to the new models, without seeing significant changes in the colouration of their images.

Further changes to the settings can be made by consumers, as the three settings have been designed as a time-saving device for people looking to buy a new camera but who still want continuity with their older models.

Canon recently released its new Selphy ES20 printer, which allows consumers to view photos on screen before they are printed, among other things.
