6.1-megapixel Resolution◆ At the heart of the D100 is it’s 6.1-

megapixel CCD for high-definition 3,008x 2,000-pixel images. This allows you tocapture images with extremely finedetail, or make big enlargements andcrop closely to show more detail.

◆ The D100’s high-resolution 23.7 x15.6mm RGB CCD provides a widedynamic range and captures a greatamount of light for high sensitivity. TheCCD also features reduced noise, and awide S/N ratio to ensure truly stunningphotographic quality in the form ofsharp, clear and smooth-toned images.

◆ Images can be stored as JPEGs (threecompression levels), uncompressedTIFF files, or in the NEF (NikonElectronic File) RAW data format.

Electronic and MechanicalShutters

◆ If intense light is received by the CCDduring data processing, this canadversely affect the data, resulting inthe emergence of smear. The camera’salleviate this problem by incorporatinga mechanical shutter in addition to thecharge-coupled electronic shutter tocut out the light, further enhancingimage quality.

Single Area & Dynamic Autofocus Single Area AF gives you five focusing positionsto work with in the frame. The selected focusarea is indicated on the top LCD panel andsuperimposed in the viewfinder. Great whenshooting carefully composed landscapes orportraits. In Dynamic AF mode you’ll never have troubleagain, shooting moving subjects like animals,athletes, or children at play. This modeensures accurate focusing, even if your subjectmoves from its original position after you’veselected a focus area.

Fast and Accurate AutofocusIn photography, a moment’s hesitation could cost you the shot. That’s why the D100 incor-porates Nikon’s Five-Area Dynamic Autofocus system — highly regarded for its responsiveperformance. Featuring five AF sensors, covering a wide area in both the horizontal andthe vertical ranges, the system provides the speed and creative control you need to makerazor-sharp images. Choose from high-speed, accurate Single Servo (S) AF and ContinuousServo (C) modes, as well as fully mechanical Manual focus (M) mode.

Focus Tracking with Lock-On Nikon’s Focus Tracking systemenables you to focus continuously ona moving subject. Using Nikon’sunique overlap servo method, theD100’s AF system focuses and drivesthe lens simultaneously, offering fastand accurate AF operation.Furthermore, with Lock-On Autofocus,the D100 will continue to track yourmain subject even if somethingmomentarily blocks it in the viewfind-er or if it moves off an AF sensor.

Often, achieving great results means getting the right exposure and colortemperature readings. When white balance is precise, coloration appears moreaccurate, while correct exposure enhances the richness of the image’s colors.Nikon’s 3D Digital Matrix Image Control can give you both — automatically. Itfeatures an advanced image-processing algorithm that ensures extremely faithfulcolor reproduction with exceptionally smooth gradations.

Exposure Metering Modes ◆ The D100 offers three exposure metering

modes: Nikon’s highly regarded 10-seg-ment 3D Matrix Metering mode for intelli-gent image analysis, Center WeightedMetering and Spot Metering.

TTL White Balance ◆ The D100 offers several options for white

balance control:

—In Auto mode, the camera analyzes thelight through the lens, automaticallyachieving white balance that producesnatural-looking images.

—Manual mode provides six settings(incandescent, florescent, direct sunlight,flash cloudy and shade) with fine tuning(-3 to +3 settings with the lower numberbeing warmer, the higher being cooler) tomatch the light source.

—In Preset mode, you use a grey or whitecard as a reference to get the most accu-rate white balance setting—ideal whenshooting under mixed-light conditions.

—White balance bracketing shoots withthree different white balance settings(reddish, selected value, and bluish).

Exposure Control ◆ The camera offers four exposure modes:

Auto-Multi Program, Shutter andAperture Priority, and Manual with shut-ter speeds from 1/4000 to 30 seconds.

◆ In Program mode, you can select differentcombinations of aperture and shutterspeed settings from those automaticallyselected. This gives you more controlwhile still letting the camera do most ofthe work for you. When in manual mode,an electronic exposure display in theviewfinder shows the amount an imagewill be under- or overexposed.

◆ In all exposure modes, the D100’s NoiseReduction function can be automaticallyactivated at slower shutter speeds toovercome background noise buildup.

◆ Exposure compensation of ±5 EV is avail-able in 1/3 or 1/2 EV increments and AutoExposure Bracketing (three consecutiveshots with varying exposures) let you seethe effects of varying brightness.

◆ ISO Auto Control mode automaticallyadjusts sensitivity (from ISO equivalent200 to 6400) when optimal exposure can-not be achieved in any exposure mode.

Three Color Modes◆ To suit a range of applications, the D100

employs three color modes:

—Mode I is sRGB-optimized and sets hueand chroma values that are especiallyeffective for rendering the natural-look-ing skin tones required in portraits.

—Mode II is Adobe RGB-optimized anddelivers a wider color reproductionrange than the other modes. The high-quality final output it provides is idealfor the wider color gamut required forstudio commercial photography.

—Like Mode I, Mode III is sRGB-optimized,but sets hue and chroma values forlandscape and nature photography.

NEF (Nikon Electronic File)RAW Data Format

◆ Change the attributes of a NEF file’s RAWimage data, including exposure (±2EV),Tone Compensation, Sharpening, HueAdjustment and Saturation

– Image Sharpen: adjust in-camera sharp-ening (Auto, Normal, Low, High, or of)

– Tone Compensation: adjusts the overalltone and contrast of the image. Choicesare Auto, Normal, Low Contrast, HighContrast, and Custom (lets you down-load a tone curve from a computer).

– Hue Adjustment: Controls the overallhue of the image. Adjustment valuesrange from +9 to -9 degrees, in +/-3-stepincrements.

High Performance◆ The D100 is more than just compact, it’s

also quick. Shutter release time lag,start-up time, autofocus and image pro-cessing are all very fast.

◆ In Continuous Shooting mode, the D100can capture up to nine consecutive (sixin TIFF or 4 in RAW formats) at 2.5 fps.

◆ Self-timer provides a short delaybetween shutter release and exposurewith intervals from 2 to 20 seconds.

◆ Anti-vibration mode, crucial in special-ized applications such as photomicrog-raphy, effects a delay between theinstant of shutter release and imagecapture, preventing mirror shock.

◆ A next generation autofocus system,Multi-Cam 2000 is not only fast enoughto keep up with the D2H’s rapidcontinuous frame rate, but it isremarkably accurate in detecting focuseven in challenging situations, includingdim lighting conditions as low as EV -1.

◆ The system consists of 11 AF sensors, 9of which are cross-type sensors laid outconsistently with the rule of thirds forcomposition, and an additional two sen-sors placed at the horizontal ends of theframe. This ensures that the D2H hasover 75% horizontal autofocus coverage-- the widest cross-type sensor coveragein its class. Photographers have theoption of setting preferences for AF sen-sor selection, including choosing eachsensor individually or combining theminto groups to ensure ideal coverage indiverse picture taking compositions.

◆ The D2H also features enhancedDynamic AF and a new Group DynamicAF detection option, as well as FocusTracking with Lock-On technology toensure razor sharp pictures.

◆ Taking the D2H’s remarkable autofocussystem one step further is its capabilityfor ‘extreme focus detection.’ A typicalcamera can detect focus in a scene upto a certain ‘defocus’ limit, beyondwhich the camera enters a scanningmode. During this mode, the camera'sautofocus system scans through theentire focusing range of the lens beforedetecting a focus point. This processcan waste precious time, especiallywhen photographing high-speed action.The D2H's autofocus system can detectfocus in scenes with about twice thedefocus limit of other cameras, ensuringmore accurate and consistent operation.

Sensitivity (ISO Equivalent))Thorough testing to find the perfect combination of productivity and image qualityrevealed sensitivity of ISO-equivalent 200 to be the optimal starting point for theD2H. Sensitivity can be manually set from ISO-equivalent 200 up to 1,600. CustomSettings can also be used to boost the highest setting one or two steps beyond 1,600ISO-equivalent. The advanced noise-suppression technology of the LBCAST imagesensor and image processing engine greatly reduce picture noise, and are particularlyeffective in the challenging high-sensitivity range.

Exposure System

Center-Weighted Metering Concentrates 75% of its sensitivitywithin an 8mm circle and the remain-ing 25% in the surrounding area. Youcan change the diameter of the circlevia the Custom Settings.

Spot MeteringCan be used with Single Area AFoperation to provide precise meter-ing by reading a 3mm-diameter areathat corresponds to the selected AFarea. Or, use it with Dynamic AF andchoose the sensor to be used formetering.

Exposure Modes

Three Color ModesThe color reproduction system newly developed for the D2H improves on Nikon's alreadyunrivaled color while optimizing the three available color modes to best match the specif-ic assignment and workflow environment

Mode I: sets hue and chroma values that are effective in rendering natural-looking skintones in portraits. (Color profile: sRGB)

Mode II: realizes a wider color reproduction range for high-quality output with a widercolor gamut. (Color profile: Adobe RGB)

Mode III: sets hue and chroma values for landscape and flora colors. (Color profile: sRGB)

3D Color Matrix Metering Automatically calculates the optimumexposure value by evaluating brightness,color, contrast, selected focus area andsubject-to-camera distance information,and then referencing the large onboarddatabase. The combination of Nikon'sexclusive 1,005-pixel RGB exposure/color metering sensor, advancedalgorithms that reference a databasedeveloped from over 30,000 scenes fromactual photography, and high-speedprocessing, results in automaticexposure upon which you can depend.

• Manual control over exposure com-pensation is available from ±5 EV in1/3, 1/2 or 1 EV steps.

• Automatic bracketing of two to nineconsecutive frames with EV valueschanging in increments of 1/3, 1/2,2/3 or 1 EV. Changes for exposurecorrespond with the mode’s auto-matically selected variable. Forexample, bracketing in Shutter Modechanges the aperture, and ApertureMode changes shutter speed.

• Programmed Auto with Flexible Programautomatically sets the shutter speedand aperture. Flexible Program can beused to quickly choose a correct alter-nate exposure-combination setting.

• Shutter-Priority offers a choice of shut-ter speeds from 1/8,000 to 30 seconds.

• Aperture-Priority lets you choose fromthe complete range of aperture settings.

• Manual mode gives you full controlover all settings, including Bulb.

Precise Auto White Balance& Auto Tone Control

The new advanced Auto White Balance(AWB) and Auto Tone Control (ATC) systemdeveloped for the D2H combines the advan-tages of three separate sensors to effective-ly handle complicated lighting conditions.AWB searches for white to use as referenceand distinguishing color can be difficultwhen the subject is, for example, setagainst a backdrop of a single color. Withone sensor for reading reflected light, a sec-ond for reading the image area during expo-sure, and a third for ambient light reading,the three-sensor system adds unprecedent-ed depth and flexibility in measuring andcomparing color temperature to achieveoptimum white balance.

1) Nikon’s 1,005-pixel RGB Exposure/ColorMatrix Metering Sensor performs directTTL metering of the subject.

2) The LBCAST image sensor calculates thelighting characteristics of the image datain real time.

3) The new external Ambient Light Sensormeters ambient light without beingaffected by the color of the subject.

The system also features revised integratedsignal processing and AWB and ATC algo-rithms that contribute to refined color andtone reproduction.

Powerful Manual WB◆ Eight manual white balance modes plus a

Color Temperature mode that lets youselect Kelvin color temperature settingsdirectly from 31 values covering a rangebetween 2,500°K and 10,000°K.

◆ Preset mode allows quick selection fromfive white balance settings stored in mem-ory to match a frequented venue or otherconditions you shoot under regularly. Thesettings can be derived from a gray cardreading, extracted from the CompactFlashcard using the setting from an imagetaken by the camera, or from values cre-ated in Nikon Capture 4.

◆ White balance bracketing lets you test dif-ferent settings and find the one that bestsuits the assignment. Bracketing for twoto nine consecutive frames is available inadjustable increments of 10, 20 or 30MIREDs.

Easy-to-View DisplaysA massive 2.5-inch 211,200-pixelhigh-resolution LCD monitor isstrategically positioned in the center ofthe body's back. Its resilient temperedanti-scratch glass surface and clip-onNikon BM-3 clear acrylic cover ensureoptimum viewing quality. The built-infeatures that prove effective tools forevaluating photos for sharpness,expression and exposure includeOne-Touch Zoom, which makes it easyto preview images at up to 4xmagnification, as well as the data andhistogram displays. Clearer viewing andlarger type fonts also improve access tocolor-coded menus.

The new organization and menu display for the Custom Settings groups them according tobasic features to make it easier and faster to find a setting, change it, and begin shooting.Because the camera’s memory bank can store up to four complete selections of CustomSettings, you can instantly and easily convert your camera to the optimized selection ofCustom Settings for the assignment. Shooting menu settings are also stored in four inde-pendent banks for fast and easy switching between custom sets of shooting menu set-tings.The top and rear control panels are also designed to convey maximum information ina manner that makes it quick to confirm at a glance.

The D2H’s eye-level viewfinder features frame coverage of virtually 100%, an eyepoint of19.9mm, built-in diopter adjustment from -3 to +1m-1, and a lock mechanism that preventsinadvertent removal of the eyepiece. Joining the familiar information bar along the bottomis a new second vertical info bar that adds displays of the current white balance mode,voice memo status, image quality and size settings, ISO sensitivity setting and more. Alsoavailable is an optional E-type Focusing Screen with grid guide that is interchangeable withthe provided B-type BrightView Clear Matte Screen III.

Lightweight, Compact and DurableThe D2H is housed in a durable, lightweight and compact magnesium alloy body built towithstand the rigors of professional assignments. The sealing system is designed to coverevery possible seam and exposed part to make the body highly resistant to water anddust. Photographers will immediately appreciate the ergonomic layout and size of the but-tons and controls. Operation is both smooth and intuitive to make the D2H comfortable inthe hand and practical to use, even when wearing gloves. Of particular note are theCommand and Sub Command dials for both horizontal and vertical shooting, larger AF-Onbuttons, and the new multi-selector.

◆ New EN-EL4 lithium-ion rechargeable bat-tery is very compact and lightweight, yetit has the energy capacity to realize up to2,900 images per charge. The EN-EL4 isfree from "memory effect", so can berecharged at any time or any level; it fea-tures improved discharge cycle charac-teristics that extend battery life; and itperforms better when subjected to lowtemperature conditions.

◆ An accurate new status display on theLCD monitor shows the percent ofremaining battery charge, the number ofshots taken since the last charge, theoverall status of the battery's life, andrecommends calibration when necessary.A microchip built into the battery meas-ures discharge capacity and compares itto the full (maximum) capacity recordedwhen the battery was last calibrated.

Wi-Fi Connectivity with Optional WT-1/1A Wireless Transmitter

The new light-weight WT-1/1A Wireless Transmitter attaches tothe bottom of the D2H and connects via the USB 2.0 port tointerface directly with any IEEE 802.11b compatible accesspoint and realize wireless transfer of image and sounddata to FTP servers. The transmitter’s maximum range isapproximately 500´ with the optional WA-E1 Extended RangeAntenna attached. As shipped with its own WA-S1 StandardAntenna, the WT-1/1A has a range of up to about 100´.

The WT-1/1A was created because speed is essential to theaction/sports photographer, and working in a sports arenaprovides an outstanding opportunity to take advantage ofwireless image transfer. Now you can shoot continuously—free of the need to lug acomputer on your back or be otherwise tethered. It’s true LAN freedom, now applied tothe pro photographer’s needs. The WT-1/1A offers three security protocols to protectvaluable image data being transferred.

—ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) adds a password that you configure in the access point.

—WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is designed to provide the same level of security as thatof a wired LAN.

—MAC Address lets you add a unique address on a wireless Mac network for a higherlevel of security.

Operation can be set to automatically transfer the image every time a frame is shot, or toleave it to the user to select images for transfer while previewing them on the camera’sLCD monitor. You can continue to shoot and capture images normally during data transfer,and transmission is automatically retried if it is disrupted for some reason.

The D2H features a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connector that is used when connecting the camerato a computer to download images, for operating the camera with the remote cameracontrol software in Nikon Capture, or to hook up the Wireless Transmitter WT-1/1A. With atheoretical maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps, Hi-Speed USB delivers more than enoughbandwidth to do the job right.

The D2H is compatible with CompactFlash as well as MicroDrive media. The D2H featuresfaster read and write speeds to CF cards, with the write speed for NEF (RAW) files beingsome three times that of the D1 series. The FAT32 file system is supported, so CF cards of2GB and larger capacity can be used. Lexar WA (Write Acceleration) technology is supportedfor extra speed, and compatible CF cards are recommended for fastest throughput.

Creative Lighting System

Speedlight SB-800 with i-TTL flash controlevolves the technology beyond the D-TTLof the D1 series, and introduces featuresthat include Advanced Wireless Lighting --wireless remote control over multipleflashes, Flash Value Lock (FV Lock), AutoFP High-Speed Sync, and Flash ColorInformation Communication.

◆ Wide Area AF Assist Illuminator istailored to the new D2H’s 11-area Multi-CAM 2000 AF Sensor Module.

◆ Built-in wide flash adapter for 14mmwideangle lens coverage, GN 38/53 (ISO100/200, at 35mm), and flash coveragefrom 35mm-105mm in 5mm zoom stepswhen using the Auto Zoom function.

◆ Nikon's i-TTL technology introduces animproved method for the monitor pre-flash. It also adopts an advanced newdata communication protocol, improvesthe S/N ratio, improves accuracy ofmeasurement when using bounce, and itfeatures wireless operation. The D2H isoptimized to take full advantage of thenew i-TTL system.

◆ The brighter, shorter pre-flash schemerealized by i-TTL improves the accuracyof the monitor pre-flash used by the sys-tem's AE Sensor to evaluate flash expo-sure and perform an automatic balancedflash that delivers outstanding resultsand new creative possibilities.

◆ When in Auto White Balance mode, flashcolor information from the master SB-800 attached to the D2H is transmittedto the camera’s body. Flash color infor-mation varies depending on voltage,flash duration and such. Data on each ofthese details is transmitted to the cam-era body and used in achieving optimumwhite balance.

Provides the speed, response and stability that will let youshoot fast, shoot reliably and make every second count

◆ High-speed image processing, high performance hardware components and huge buffercapacity lets you shoot at 8 frames per second (fps) for up to 40 consecutive JPEG, 35TIFF or 25RAW (NEF)full-resolutionimages of2,464 x 1,632pixels in size.That's thefastest totalnumber ofcontinuousshots availableon a digitalSLR. The frame rate remains consistent when any combination of the D2H's focus pointsis selected, or even when older, non-CPU based Nikkor lenses are used.

Nikkor LensesThe D2H is compatible with the extensiveAF Nikkor lens lineup, which gives thephotographer dozens of high-quality lens-es from which to choose. Professionalsacross the globe favor AF Nikkors for theirsuperb color, razor-sharp images, and con-sistently excellent autofocus performance.The lineup also features more fast (f/2.8)lenses than any other system.

New DX Nikkor LensesDX Nikkor lenses are designed exclusivelyfor use with Nikon DX cameras. Theselenses deliver wider picture angle, higherperformance, faster aperture, fast autofo-cus, smaller and lighter size and outstand-ing edge-to-edge image quality. DX Nikkorlenses have a picture angle equal toapproximately that of a 35mm format lenswith a 1.5x focal length.

AF-S DX 12-24mm f/4G IF-EDCompact, lightweightdesign realized byoptimizing theimage circle size.Its true focal lengthof 12-24mm coversan ultra-wide anglerange from 99° at12mm to 61° at 24mm.

AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor10.5mm f/2.8G ED

The first fisheye lens for the DX formatand also the first to achieve a 180° pictureangle on a digital SLR. It features opti-mized optical and close-range focusingperformance. Nikon Capture 4 enhancesthe possibilities of the lens by offering afunction that transforms images takenwith it to ultra-wideangle format images.

AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-EDThe world’s first constant f/2.8 · 3.2x zoomlens developed exclusively for use withthe Nikon DX format, it features a light-weight and compact design. Its focallength range features a picture angle thatcovers from 79° at 17mm to 28° 50´ at55mm and provides excellent versatilityfrom wide-angle through standard andmedium telephoto.

◆ Nikon developed the LBCAST sensor to meet the needs of the photojournalists andaction/sports assignments. Not only is it optimized to deliver a higher level of TotalImage Quality, but also designed for maximum speed and high performance. The LBCASTsensor reads 2 channels of data simultaneously from each pixel while also handlingbrightness data in the same process to achieve maximum image reproduction speed.

◆ The LBCAST image sensor's innovative design eliminates the need to perform fixedpattern noise correction or other power-up diagnostics that slow the start-up of othercameras. The D2H is ready to shoot the instant it is turned on. Combine this and otheroptimized systems with the extremely short shutter release time lag of just 37 milliseconds- speed that is comparable to the legendary Nikon F5, and you have a camera that is fastenough to realize the feel of a true professional digital SLR.

◆ In addition to the advancements made in the D2H’s superb electronic components, itsmechanical operations have been completely revised and optimized to support maxi-mum performance for speed and accuracy. One good example is the mirror balancemechanism, which completes its motion and reaches a full stop virtually without mirrorbounce to enable more stable mirror movement and maximum speed for smoother AFdetection. This lengthens viewing time to provide faster and more accurate FocusTracking and support 8 fps continuous shooting. It’s an all-new system to support theD2H’s speed with accuracy.

◆ The D2H is equipped with a further refined version of the durable and precise double-bladed shutter mechanism used on Nikon's F5 Pro SLR. Shutter speeds from 1/8,000 to 30seconds are available, or you can opt to use Bulb exposure.

◆ Voice memo feature allows the photographer to record voice memos as WAV files of upto 60 seconds after each shot (auto/manual) or when in playback mode. These memoscan be listened to via the built-in speaker when in playback mode or during slideshows.

◆ The D2H has a built-in intervalometer that makes time-lapse photography easier andmore portable.

◆ Another Nikon first for the D2H is the option to simultaneously record RAW (NEF: NikonElectronic image Format) and JPEG data for the same shot to the camera's storagemedia. Now you can optimize and speed up workflow operations by selecting the filetype or types that best suit your shooting conditions.

◆ Use JPEG for faster image transfer and keep the NEF as your ultimate electronic imagefile. NEF is always a convenient option as you can later make non-destructive editchanges to your NEF file and subsequently produce JPEGs and TIFFs from the NEF file.

The beginning of the post-production workflow starts with the supplied NikonView 6 browser software for downloading and managing your images. Transferimages directly from the D2H via USB or from a CompactFlash reader. Imagethumbnails can be viewed, selectively transferred, printed, erased, rotated orviewed with the picture enlarged in a separate window. Other features include theability to transfer all or selected images at different sizes for e-mail, uploading, orfor insertion into documents and newsletters. Keyword attachment and shootingdata can be added to the image files for searching and identification.

◆ Images can be renamed with a user-defined suffix and/or prefix such as thephotographer’s name and incorporate thedate or a sequence # within the file name.

◆ The directory into which images arecopied can be chosen from any local ornetworked drive and the files can be auto-matically added to the index system ofproprietary image database applications.

◆ Copy the camera shooting data (exposure,camera configuration at time of shooting,user ID field, etc.) into the IPTC Captionfield to every file during download.

◆ Support for IPTC text data includes thecapability of adding user-defined keywordsinto the file as it is transferred from thecamera into the computer under thecontrol of Nikon View 6.

◆ Plug-in enables RAW files to be openedwithin Photoshop.

◆ Adds a window where camera shootingdata of any selected image is visible.User-selectable thumbnail sizes have alsobeen incorporated, allowing the easypreview of images under more difficultviewing conditions.

Bundled Nikon View 6 Software

Optional Capture 4 SoftwareNikon Capture 4 offers a unique image-editing environment by giving you the full power to edit the RAW image data within NEF(Nikon Electronic image Format) files. Settings made manually or automatically at the time the shot was taken can be changed with-out ever changing the original image’s settings. Any number of versions can be saved as Instruction Sets without affecting the origi-nal file. You get the best of versatile image editing combined with precious savings in hard disk space.

◆ Nikon Capture 4 controls most settingsfor the D2H remotely via the USB 2.0interface, and images can be downloadeddirectly to a computer while shooting.

◆ Supports browsing and editing of the fileformats supported by the D2H, includingNEF (RAW), TIFF and JPEG.

◆ Image Dust Off—sensor dust and particleshade removal control—uses a referenceimage first taken by the user to map duston the sensor and then automaticallyremove the effect of sensor dust from NEFimages. The time saved with this featurealone makes it worth it to photo editors.

◆ Features Digital DEE scene-specific auto-matic dodge and burn control - a newfunction that applies the appropriateamount of dodge or burn to specific areasof a photo to bring out the highlights andachieve an overall exposure balance.

◆ Virtually all lenses, especially wide-anglesexperience some degree of vignetting(gradual darkening from center-to-edge-to-corner). Nikon Capture 4’s VignetteControl automatically adjusts to counter-act the vignette effect and produceimages with near perfect center-to-edge-to-corner brightness.

◆ Fisheye-to-rectilinear Image Transformationtransforms fisheye shots from the AF DXFisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens intotwo modes (V-mode and H-mode) of ultra-wideangle images. This allows the lens todouble as a useful ultra-wideangle lens.

◆ A wide variety of image adjustments andcorrections can be automatically appliedto any number of files in a folder for greatsavings in time when working with manyphotos shot under like conditions. Batchprocessing in Capture 4 adds moreoptions, including the ability to create newfolders and new destination subfolders.

NEF files are like having a fresh negative on hand. In addition tothe RAW image data captured by the LBCAST sensor and thumb-nail images of the raw data, a basic component within the NEFfile is an Instruction Set that retains the camera settings from themoment the shot was taken. Variations of Instruction Sets can becreated to create several versions of the same image. InstructionSets can be saved and applied to other shots, even large numberof photos from the same shoot (during batch control).

Another advantage of the NEF file is that the 12-bit image datacaptured by the D2H is processed by an advanced algorithm anddisplayed in Nikon Capture 4 as full 16-bit images. Working with16-bit images allows you to make tonal and other colorcorrections with smoother fidelity. You can save the data as a16-bit image TIFF file, save any changes as a new Instruction Setfor the NEF file, or opt for JPEG compression when handling andtransfer speed are the priority.

NIKONAF NIKKOR LENSES

When it comes to choosing photographic equipment, perhaps the most

important decision a photographer faces is which lens system to use. For

the majority of professional photographers, that choice is simple: Nikkor.

The reasons for this are many, not the least of which is Nikon’s total

commitment to controlling every aspect of lens manufacturing. This

no-compromise attitude toward manufacturing extends performance.

For each Nikkor lens is designed to function seamlessly with Nikon SLRs.

This is exemplified most clearly in the legendary Nikon F mount. For

even the most advanced Nikkor lenses incorporate this standard for its consistency and reliability. This design also ensures

that when Nikon introduces new cameras with revolutionary features such as 3D Color Matrix Metering and Multi-Sensor

Balanced Fill-Flash, you’ll always have an array of lenses available to handle these advances.

F D-type Nikkor LensesAF Nikkor D-type lenses are special because they relay subject-to-camera distance information to AF Nikon camera bodies that usethe information. This makes possible new technologies like Nikon’s3D Color Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash.

Aspherical Lens ElementsNikon introduced the first photographic lens with aspherical lenselements in 1968. Aspherical lenses minimize the problem of comaand other types of lens distortion—even when used at the widestaperture. They are particularly useful in correcting the distortionin wide-angle lenses. In addition, use of aspherical lenses con-tributes to a lighter and smaller and lens design.

Internal FocusingImagine being able to focus a lens without it changing in size.Nikon’s IF technology enables just that. All internal opticalmovement is limited to the interior of the non-extending lensbarrel. This allows for a more compact, lightweight constructionas well a closer focusing distance.

Rear Focusing (RF) With Nikon’s Rear Focusing (RF) system, all the lens elements aredivided into specific groups, with only the rear lens group movingto conduct focusing. As with IF, this technique makes autofocusingoperation smoother and faster.

Close-Range Correction SystemProviding superior picture quality at close focusing distances andincreasing the close focus range, the Close-Range Correction (CRC)system is one of Nikon’s most important focusing innovations.With CRC, the lens elements are configured in “floating element”design wherein each lens group moves independently to achievefocusing. This ensures superior lens performance even whenshooting at close distances.

ED GlassNikon developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion glass to make telephotolenses that offer superior sharpness and color correction byminimizing chromatic aberration. (Chromatic aberration is a type ofimage and color distortion that occurs when light rays of varyingwavelengths pass through optical glass). ED lenses deliver stunningsharpness and contrast even at their largest maximum apertures.

Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC)To enhance the performance of lens elements, Nikon employssophisticated multi-layer coating to help reduce ghost and flare tonegligible levels. Called Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC), thecoating minimizes reflections over a wide wavelength range, andenhances color balancing. It is carefully integrated into the designof each Nikkor lens type, with the coatings calculated to match thelens type and glass.

AF DC-Nikkor LensesA set of unique lenses for unique portraits, exclusive AF DC(Defocus-image Control) technology allows photographers to con-trol the degree of spherical aberration in the foreground or back-ground by rotating the lens’ DC ring. This will create a roundedout-of-focus blur that is ideal for portrait photography.

AF-S TechnologyAF-S lenses feature Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) whichconverts “traveling waves” into rotational energy to focus theoptics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that’s extremelyaccurate and super quiet.

M/A ModeAF-S lenses also feature Nikon’s exclusive M/A mode, that allowsswitching from autofocus to manual operation with virtually notime lag – even during AF servo operation.

Nikkor lenses featuring the Nikon F-mount can be used with the D100, D1X, D1H or D2H,but the picture angle is equivalent to 1.5x focal length in 35mm format.PleaseNote:

• Nikon’s proprietary vibration reduction (VR) systemdetects and compensates for image blur caused by camerashake. When VR is activated, the system allows photogra-phers to shoot with ambient light at shutter speeds thatare slower by up to about 3 stops, when compared to therestrictions of shooting without vibration reduction.

• The VR system uses angular speed sensors that detectminute shifts in camera movement. Data from the sensorsis used to calculate the change in position and drive voicecoil motors to shift the position of the VR lens element.

• Automatically detects shake that takes place during pan-ning in any direction. And there is no need to stop andreset the lens for panning action; it happens automatically.

• Three ED glass elements reduce secondary chromaticaberrations and help the lens provide significantly sharperpictures throughout the 80-400mm zoom range.

Soft Focus No. 1, No. 2These filters soften images. No. 1 lends aromantic aura to portraits. The strongerNo. 2 produces a fog-like effect in land-scapes and also highlights small subjectsagainst a field of dark space. Both can beused together for stronger effects.Available in 52mm, 62mm and 72mm.

Neutral Density ND2s, ND4s, ND8sThese filters allow you to use larger aper-tures without changing shutter speed oruse slower shutter speeds in bright con-ditions for creative motion effects.Neutral; density filters do not changecolor balance.

Amber Filters A2, A12Amber filters control the bluishcoloration that affect daylight shooting.The mild A2 warms scenes shot oncloudy days. The deeper-colored A12 isused for outdoor shooting in fair weather.

Blue B2, B8, B12Blue filters remove reds and have acooling effect. The mild B2 banishes redsfrom sunrise or sunset shots. The B12neutralizes the red cast produced byphotofloods. Use a B8 or B12 andunderexpose to create eerie night scenes.

Ultraviolet (UV) L37C Skylight L1BCUV filters cut haze for sharper b&wprints, and correct the blue and violets incolor prints. The integrated coated L37Creduces reflection and is designed to beused with integrated coated lenses.

Circular Polarizing FiltersThese filters darken the sky withoutaffecting color balance, cut out the glarefrom water and metallic surfaces, andallow shooting through glass windows.Their mounts can be rotated for differentangles which you can monitor throughthe viewfinder. (Note: use of circularpolarizing filters requires a filter hood.

Conversion Filters A12, B2, B8, B12These filters can be used to match filmcolor balances. For example, ColorConversion Filter A12 can be used toshift the color balance of tungsten filmto daylight. Blue Color Conversion FiltersB2, B8 and B12 counteract existing lightthat is too warm. B12 matches artificiallight to that of normal daylight film.

Yellow Y44, Y48, Y52Yellow filters absorb both blue and ultra-violet light so skies appear darker. Theywork well in landscape or telephoto pho-tography, clearing up haze around dis-tant objects. Y44 is the mildest filter andY52 produces the strongest effect.

Orange O56Stronger than yellow filters, the O56tones down blue, ultraviolet and green. Itheightens contrast between sky andobjects and darkens foliage.

Red R60Ultra high contrast. All colors except redare filtered out so blue skies appear almostblack and green leaves appear darker.

Green X0, X1Green filters absorb red and blue, lettinggreen and yellow through. The X0 is idealfor general-purpose use. The X1 givesskin a more natural tone.
