Nikon Corporation announces the release of the Next Generation of Digital-SLR camera model, named as D4. Nikon D4 is based on all the basic performance achieved with the D3 series, which had allowed the industry in image expression. As expected, the Nikon D4 boosts both megapixel rating to 16.2 and extended ISO of 204,800 at Hi-4, and includes a brand new full-frame FX-format sensor.
D4 Digital-SLR Camera functions and features:
- New Nikon FX-format CMOS image sensor
- New EXPEED 3 image-processing engine with superior, high-speed processing capabilities
- 91K-pixel RGB sensor for the more accurate Advanced Scene Recognition System
- Faster and more accurate AF with 51 focus points
- Multi-area Mode Full HD D-movie with three image area options
- Smooth workflow from initial setup to image transfer
- Extremely durable shutter that has passed testing for 400,000 cycles
- Magnesium alloy adopted for the very strong, durably body that is very resistant to dust and water
- Effective sealing using O rings and packing make the camera more resistant to dust and water
- Silent shutter-release mode for live view photography that almost completely eliminates the sounds of the mirror and shutter operation
- A time-lapse photography feature, with which the camera automatically takes photos at selected intervals to record a time-lapse movie, which can be played back at 24–36,000x normal playback speed
- Operation optimized for both horizontal (landscape) and vertical (portrait) shooting
- Button backlights (illuminators) for increased visibility when working in dimly lit or dark situations
- High-performance viewfinder, utilizing a glass pentaprism, with a frame coverage of approximately 100% (FX format) and magnification of approximately 0.7x
- Four image area options for still shooting—FX (36 x 24), 5:4 (30 x 24), 1.2x (30 x 20), DX (24 x 16)—with viewfinder indicator that identifies the current image area
- A 3.2-inch, approximately 921k-dot LCD monitor with reinforced glass and wide viewing angle; integration of the glass and panel reduce internal reflections
- A virtual horizon that shows the degree to which the camera is tilted sideways (roll), forward or backward (pitch) with display in the monitor and viewfinder
- White balance that can be adjusted in units of 10 K; white balance can be specified separately for shooting (white balance applied to images) and monitor display with still-image shooting in live view mode
- The new compact Wireless Transmitter WT-5 with simple connection to the camera (available separately)
- Capture NX 2 Ver. 2.3 for significantly faster processing
