Key Features:<\/p>\n
Nikon-original FX-format CMOS Sensor
\nNewly engineered for striking image fidelity and low-noise, optimizing pixel size and count in a 12.1-megapixel sensor to produce extraordinarily rich files.<\/p>\n
Low Noise ISO Sensitivity from 200 to 12,800
\nRenowned low-noise performance at 12,800, plus expanded settings to an astounding ISO 102,400 (equivalent) and ISO 100 (equivalent).<\/p>\n
Continuous Shooting Up to 9 FPS
\nSecure exacting moments in time with an expanded buffer, allowing continuous capture of up to 82 JPEG (fine) or 36 14-bit NEF (RAW) images.<\/p>\n
HD Video Capture
\nRecord smooth 24 fps HD video, leveraging low-noise D3S image quality along with high fidelity stereo sound capability.<\/p>\n
One-button Live View with Two Shooting Modes
\nTwo modes for studio or remote shooting\u2014Tripod Mode offers 27x magnification for precise focus confirmation.<\/p>\n
3-Inch Super-density 921,000-dot VGA LCD Monitor
\nD3S monitors are individually calibrated during assembly to assure accuracy.<\/p>\n
Dynamic Integrated Dust Reduction System
\nUltrasonic process combats the accumulation of dust on the optical low-pass filter, safeguarding image quality.<\/p>\n
Nikon EXPEED Image Processing
\nDrives breathtakingly rich image fidelity, low-noise and fast image processing.<\/p>\n
Fast, Accurate 51-Point AF System
\n4 Dynamic modes and 15 cross-type sensors deliver AF precision and razor sharpness.<\/p>\n
1,005-Pixel 3D Color Matrix Metering II
\nNikon-pioneered RGB metering includes color information to intelligently determine more accurate exposures.<\/p>\n
Scene Recognition System
\nReferencing an onboard image database, teamed with RGB metering, SRS enhances exposure and white balance evaluation and improves AF speed and accuracy.<\/p>\n
Rugged and Precise Magnesium Alloy Construction
\nEffectively protected from invasive dust, moisture and electromagnetic interference with a self-diagnostic shutter mechanism tested to exceed 300,000 cycles.<\/p>\n
Nikon Picture Control
\nFour preset options and 9 customizable settings provide personalized style control.<\/p>\n
