VITAL STATISTICS
Type: Enthusiast/semi-professional digital SLR with Nikon F (D-type) bayonet lens mount Focusing: Automatic via 51-point wide-area system using phase-detection type CCD sensor with 15 cross-type arrays. Focus points may be selected manually or automatically and either as single points or in groups (9/21/51) plus Group-Area AF mode which uses a wider detection zone made up of five points. Points re-orientated for vertical shooting. One-shot and continuous modes both with a predictive function. 3D Tracking mode. Sensitivity range is EV -3 – 19 (ISO 100). AF assist provided by built-in illuminator. AF micro-adjustment for individual lenses (up to 20). Hybrid phase/contrast detection AF (273 points) in live view and video, with eye/face detection and tracking. Manual focus assist in live view via magnified image (up to 16x), electronic rangefinder display and/or focus peaking display (choice of colours – red, yellow, blue or white; and high, standard or low sensitivities). Sensitivity range is EV -5 – 19 (ISO 100 and f/1.4).
Metering: 180,000 pixels RGB ‘3D Color Matrix III’, centre-weighted average (with variable diameter weighting – 8.0mm, 15mm or 20mm), spot (4.0mm/1.5%), highlight-weighted, and i-TTL flash via 91,000-pixel sensor. Metering ranges are; 3D Color Matrix and C/W average = EV -3.0 to 20; spot = EV 2 to 20 (f/1.4 at ISO 100), highlight weighted = EV 0 to 20.
Exposure Modes: Continuously-variable program with shift, shutter-priority auto, aperturepriority auto, metered manual, i-TTL auto flash and manual flash. 16 subject/scene modes. Shutter: Electronically-controlled, vertical travel, focal plane type, 900-1/8000 second plus ‘B’. Flash sync up to 1/200 second. Exposure compensation up to +/-5.0 EV in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments.
Viewfinder: Coverage = 100% vertical/horizontal. Magnification = 0.70x (50mm lens at infinity). OLED displays and LED focus point indicators. Standard focusing screen has AF zones and on-demand grid lines. Eyepiece strength adjustment provided. 3.2-inch TFT LCD monitor (2.359 million dots) with tilt adjustment and touch screen controls. Adjustable for brightness (11 levels) and colour balance.
Flash: No built-in flash. External flash units
