[. . . ] This lets you shoot with confidence, even in tricky conditions such as mercury vapor lighting, orange sodium lighting, and mixed light sources that would easily confuse lesser cameras. With the D700, white stays white, yellow appear s as yellow, just the way you see it. The results are astonishing, and immensely satisfying. · Lens: AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2. 8G IF-ED · Exposure: [A] mode, 1/160 second, f/2. 8 · White balance: Auto · Sensitivity: ISO 3200 · Picture Control: Standard ©Douglas Menuez Scene Recognition System Nikon's revolutionary Scene Recognition System redefines the scope, accuracy and performance of Digital SLR automatic control. One way it does this is by expanding the potential of the renowned 1, 005-pixel RGB sensor far beyond 3D Color Matrix Metering II and i-TTL flash control, applying information from it to autofocus and auto white balance processes as well, thereby introducing a whole new level of accuracy and performance. The key to this revolutionary technology is a unique optical device that enables more precise color information readouts for an unprecedented level of detailed scene information and analysis. This enables the D700 to know and understand additional and essential elements within the scene you're about to shoot. Each scene is analyzed milliseconds prior to shutter release, further optimizing autofocus, auto exposure, i-TTL control and white balance -- before the image is captured. Think of the Scene Recognition System as an artificial-intelligence assistant, working tirelessly alongside you. Precise color information for outstanding AF accuracy The D700's precise color information readouts deliver auto focus subject identification and tracking performance that no other camera maker can imitate. Use any of the Dynamic-area AF modes -- 9, 21, or 51 points -- and the color information of your main subject guides the D700's AF system to continue tracking your subject, whether it moves toward the camera, away from the camera, or from side to side. Color information is integral to 3D-Tracking, which uses color to constantly follow the subject, switching focus points as needed to allow you to concentrate on ideal composition without worrying about keeping the subject in focus. In Autoarea AF mode, the D700 automatically recognizes people and skin tones, quickly focusing on the most important element -- the human face.

That's why the shutter release time lag was cut to an industry-leading 40 milliseconds (CIPA standard). Just compose and the camera will capture your subject's every move -- critical when shooting fastmoving subjects. Function button enables instant shooting in NEF The D700 features a function button you can designate for shooting in NEF. When shooting in JPEG and you decide to also take the next shot in NEF, pressing the button readies you instantly, without having to access a menu. Easy-to-view camera setting display All of your settings are easily confirmed in the large, high-definition LCD with clear, easy-to-read fonts. You can choose to display information with black lettering against a white background or vice versa. It's also possible to set the camera to different displays that match diverse ambient lighting conditions, and so achieve the ideal view for any situation. Info button Pushing the info button twice takes you directly to useful features such as Picture Control, Active D-Lighting and Noise Reduction. Comprehensively sealed against dust and moisture The D700 goes the extra mile to protect against invasive moisture, dust, and even electromagnetic interference. A meticulous, systematic series of O-rings and other specialized seals, combined with additional Nikon protective engineering, keeps you shooting when lesser cameras fail. Durable, high-precision shutter unit Tested on fully assembled cameras, the D700's shutter unit has been proven through 150, 000 cycles under the most demanding conditions. Nikon's exclusive self-diagnostic shutter constantly monitors shutter operation, confirming that it is operating at precisely the designated shutter speed. Deviations are corrected automatically, maintaining shutter speed accuracy for more precise exposures. Large, bright viewfinder Put your eye to the D700's large circular eyepiece and rediscover why a camera's viewfinder experience cannot be taken for granted. One look through a D700 confirms that superior viewfinder design is at the heart of single-lens reflex camera handling. The Nikon FX format and large DX-format crop pentagonal prism deliver a large, bright viewfinder image, making accurate composition easier for any shooting conditions. What's more, the D700's expertly designed viewfinder enables skilled photographers to confirm focus visually, in either auto or manual focus mode. 3-inch, 920, 000-dot LCD The large, high-resolution color LCD monitor delivers bright, crisp image playback, with enlargements up to 27x (large-size images in FX format), for immediate and precise image confirmation. [. . . ] Nikon Transfer enables you to: · Transfer images from Nikon D-SLR or memory cards · Add labels, ratings and IPTC at transfer time for efficient sorting later on · Continue selecting images while transfer is in progress Quick adjust: Enjoy instant access to five parameters -- sharpening, contrast, brightness, saturation and hue in [Standard] and [Vivid] Picture Controls. It's all as easy as moving the sliders. Capture NX 2 (option) Nikon's proprietary image processing software lets you get the most out of your NEF, JPEG or TIFF images. Capture NX 2 and its innovative U Point technology empower you to: · Alter and enhance color and details quickly and thoroughly · Create and customize your own color schemes using Picture Control, then save the results for later use or export to D-SLRs that support Picture Control · Take advantage of important functions such as batch processing, edit list, vignette control, color aberration control and distortion control Monochrome ©Douglas Menuez 20 21 Nomenclature <; :/ . -, + o nm l kj i h System Chart SpeeDLightS Right-Angle Viewing Attachment DR-5 Speedlight SB-900 Eyepiece DK-17* Custom Settings menus ViewfiNDeR ACCeSSoRieS Eyepiece Magnifier DG-2 Eyepiece Correction Lens DK-17C (-3, -2, 0, +1, +2 m -1 ) C: Custom Setting Bank R: Reset Custom Settings a: Autofocus a1: AF-C Priority Selection a2: AF-S Priority Selection a3: Dynamic AF Area a4: Focus Tracking with Lock-On a5: AF Activation a6: Focus Point Illumination a7: Focus Point Wrap-Around a8: AF Point Selection a9: Built-in AF-assist Illuminator a10: AF-ON for MB-D10 b: metering/exposure b1: ISO Sensitivity Step Value b2: EV Steps for Exposure Control b3: Exp Comp/Fine Tune b4: Easy Exposure Compensation b5: Center-Weighted Area b6: Fine Tune Optimal Exposure Power Bracket Unit SK-6/6A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ~ ) ( & % $ # " !
