VITAL STATISTICS
Type: Enthusiast-level 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). 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). Contrast-detection AF in live view and video modes. Metering: 2016 pixels RGB ‘3D Color Matrix II’, centre-weighted average (with variable diameter weighting – 6.0mm, 10mm or 13mm), spot (3.5mm/2.5%), highlight-weighted, and i-TTL flash via 2016-pixels sensor. Metering ranges are; 3D Color Matrix and C/W average = EV 0 to 20; spot = EV 2 to 20 (f1.4/ISO 100). 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, 30-1/8000 second plus ‘B’. Flash sync up to 1/250 second. Exposure compensation up to +/-5.0 EV in 1/3 or ½ stop increments. Viewfinder: Coverage = 100% vertical/horizontal. Magnification = 0.94x (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. Flash: Built-in pop-up unit with GN 12 power (ISO 100). Auto, fill-in, red-eye reduction, front/rear sync and slow speed sync modes. Commander mode for wireless TTL control of compatible external flash units. External flash units connect via hotshoe. Flash compensation range of -3.0 to +1.0 EV in 1/3 or ½ stop increments and flash bracketing (up to three frames). Manual control down to 1/128 of full power. Additional Features: Magnesium alloy and polycarbonate bodyshell sealed against dust and moisture, auto exposure bracketing (over two, three, five, seven or nine frames) AE+flash bracketing, depth-of-field preview, AE lock, exposure adjustments in either 1/3 or ½ stop increments, variable delay and multi-shot self-timer (two to 20 seconds, up to nine frames, 0.5-3.0 seconds intervals), mirror lock-up, quiet shutter mode, audible signals, wired remote control terminal, wireless remote control, 53 custom functions.
DIGITAL SECTION Sensor: 24.72 million pixels CMOS with 23.5x15.6 mm area. Sensitivity equivalent to ISO 100-25,600 (extendable to ISO 51,200 and 102,400, but for B&W capture only). No optical low-pass filter (OLPF). Focal Length Increase: 1.5x. Formats/Resolution: Three JPEG compression settings (1:4, 1:8 and 1:16), and lossless compressed, compressed or uncompressed RAW files. Three resolution settings at 3:2 aspect ratio; 6000x4000, 4496x3000 and 2992x2000 pixels. Three resolution settings in ‘1.3x’ format (18x12 mm); 4800x3200, 3600x2400 and 2400x1600 pixels. Additionally, still images can be captured in the movie mode in the ‘DX’ and ‘1.3x’ formats and the 16:9 aspect ratio, again at three resolution settings. RAW (NEF) images are captured at 6000x4000 pixels, in either 36-bit or 42-bit RGB colour, and either lossless compressed or compressed. RAW+JPEG capture is possible (with all JPEG compression levels). Video Recording: Full HD = 1920x1080 pixels at 50, 25 or 24 fps (PAL, progressive) and 16:9 aspect ratio. HD = 1280x720 pixels at 50 fps (PAL, progressive) and 16:9 aspect ratio. MPEG 4 AVC/H .264 compression. Stereo sound
