VITAL STATISTICS
Type: Professional digital SLR with Nikon F (D-type) bayonet lens mount
Focusing: Automatic via 105-point wide-area system using phase-detection type CCD sensor with all cross-type arrays (15 with f/8.0 lens speed). Focus points may be selected manually or automatically and either as single points or in Dynamic-area AF groups (9, 25, 49 or 105), plus Group-area AF with a five-point zone, and Group-Area AF C1 and C2 modes which enables customised detection zones (shape and number of points, 17 pattern options). Points re-orientated for vertical shooting. Oneshot and continuous modes both with a predictive function. 3D Tracking, face/eye detection and face recognition modes. Sensitivity range is EV -4.5 – 20 (ISO 100). AF assist provided by built-in illuminator. Contrast detection autofocusing in live view mode and with video recording – with Face-priority AF, Wide-area AF, Normal-area AF and Subject-tracking AF modes. Manual focus assist in live view via magnified image (up to 11x) and focus peaking display (Red, Yellow, Blue and White, at three levels) Automatic micro-adjustment for up to 20 lenses.
Metering: 181,000 pixels RGB 3D Colour
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 1005-pixel sensor. Metering ranges are; 3D Color Matrix and C/W average = EV -3.0 to 20, spot = EV 2.0 to 20, highlight weighted = EV 0 to 20 (f/1.4 at ISO 100).
Exposure Modes: Continuously-variable program with shift, shutter-priority auto, aperturepriority auto, metered manual, i-TTL auto flash and manual flash.
Shutter: Electronically-controlled, vertical travel, focal plane type, 900-1/8000 second plus ‘B’. Alternative sensor-based shutter and ‘electronic first curtain shutter’ available. Flash sync to 1/250 second with mechanical shutter. Exposure compensation up to +/-5.0 EV in 1/3, 1/2 or one stop increments.
Viewfinder: Coverage = 100% vertical/horizontal. Magnification = 0.72x (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 and built-in shutter provided.
Flash: No built-in flash. External flash units connect via hotshoe or PC terminal.
Additional Features: Magnesium alloy bodyshell sealed against dust and moisture, illuminated buttons, auto exposure bracketing (over two, three or five frames with up to +/-3.0 EV adjustment per frame, over seven or nine frames with up to +/-1.0 EV adjustment per frame), auto flash bracketing (plus AE and flash bracketing), depth-of-field preview, AE lock, flash compensation, all exposure adjustments in 1/3, 1/2 or full stops; multi-mode self-timer (two to 20 seconds, one to nine frames with adjustable intervals), auto flicker detection, mirror lock-up, quiet and silent shutter modes, two external LCD read-out panels with built-in illumination, audible signals, wired remote control terminal, wireless remote control, 67 custom functions, 14 customisable controls, Kensington anti-theft lock.
DIGITAL SECTION
Sensor: 20.8 million pixels (effective) CMOS with 35.9x23.9 mm area. Sensitivity equivalent to ISO 100-102,400 (extendable to ISO 50 and 3,280,000).
Focal Length Increase: None. Formats/Resolution: Three JPEG compression settings (1:4, 1:8 or 1:16), uncompressed TIFFs, and lossless compressed or compressed RAW files. Three resolution settings at 3:2 aspect ratio; 5568x3712, 4176x2784 and 2784x1856 pixels. Three resolution settings at 1.2x image size (30x20 mm); 4640x3088, 3472x2312 and 2320x1544 pixels. Three resolution settings at 5:4 (30x24 mm); 4640x3712, 3472x2784 and 2320x1856 pixels. Three resolution settings at 16:9 (36x20 mm); 5568x2138, 4176x2344 and 2784x1560 pixels. Three resolution settings at 1:1 (24x24 mm); 3712x3712, 2784x2784 and 1856x1856 pixels. Three resolution settings in ‘DX’ format (24x16 mm); 3648x2432, 2736x1824 and 1824x1216 pixels. Additionally, still images can be captured in the movie mode in the FX and DX formats and 3:2 or
16:9 aspect ratios, again at three resolution settings. RAW (NEF) images are captured at 5568x3712 pixels in either 36-bit or 42-bit RGB colour, or at 4176x2784 and 2784x1856 pixels with 36-bit RGB colour. RAW+JPEG capture is possible (with all JPEG compression levels with quality/size priority options).
