CLICK HERE TO GRAB IT
Type Single-lens reflex digital camera
Lens mount Nikon F mount (with AF coupling and AF contacts)
Effective sensor Approx. 1.5x lens focal length (Nikon DX format)
Image sensor 23.6 x 15.8 mm CMOS sensor
- - Supports high ISO sensitivities
- - High-speed data readout
- - Nikon DX-format sized CMOS sensor
- - Power-saving design
Effective pixels 12.3 million
Total pixels 12.9 million
Dust-reduction system Image Sensor Cleaning, Image Dust Off reference data (optional Capture NX 2 software required)
Noise reduction Long exp. NR Photographs taken at shutter speeds slower than 8 s are processed to reduce noise. As the time required to process images to reduce noise after capture is roughly the same as shooting time (shutter speed), the time required until images are completely recorded increases accordingly.
High ISO NR Photographs taken at ISO sensitivities of ISO 800 and higher are processed to reduce noise. High, Normal (default), Low, Off.
At ISO sensitivities of Hi 0.3 and higher, a level of noise reduction lower than that achieved with a setting of "Low" is selected.
