Universal Time) of a shot in the fi le’s metadata.
High-resolution 2.5" LCD
An all-new higher resolution 2.5-inch 232,000-pixel
LCD monitor delivers clearer, fl icker-free image
playback at up to 15x magnifi cation. An improved
histogram and new selectable RGB Histogram
displays allow for quick, easy and accurate
exposure confi rmation.
Improved information displays
Nikon’s intuitive menu navigation uses color coding
and large type to further improve operational ease,
as do the new menu help function, chronological
Recent Settings list, and the World Time menu
with world map to keep Exif data current across

Nikon Capture 4
(ver 4.2* - optional software)
The unique, powerful and expandable environment
provides the fullest control over processing Nikon’s
RAW (NEF) fi les for optimum results, and enables
extensive remote control and transfer options for
all Nikon D-SLR cameras. Version 4.2 incorporates
sophisticated new tools to increase productivity
and creative control even further.
i-TTL fl ash control and Nikon’s
Creative Lighting System
Nikon’s exclusive i-TTL fl ash control delivers
excellent fl ash exposures, even in bright light
conditions. Advanced
Wireless Lighting enables
total remote operation over
the versatile functions of up
to four groups of multiple
Nikon SB-800 and SB-600
Speedlights. The D2
Hs
is also
compatible with the SB-80DX
and other earlier Speedlights
that use D-TTL fl ash control.
Other features
• Auto exposure bracketing for up to 9 consecutive
frames • White balance bracketing for up to 9
consecutive frames • Auto ISO sensitivity control
• High-speed access to storage media for fast
recording and playback • USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface
• Large viewfi nder with virtually 100% frame
coverage • Voice memo function • Menu support for
10 languages • PictBridge compatible
Outstanding Operational Effi ciency
Rapid Response & High Performance
New image processing engine improves
image quality
Further refi nement of the image processing ASIC
produces fi ner gradations with smoother transitions
across the color range and purer color rendition for
natural, more lifelike color reproduction.
3D-Color Matrix Metering
II
The improved exposure metering system allows Nikon’s proven 1,005-pixel
RGB Exposure/Color Matrix
Metering Sensor to better
determine the brightness
and size of highlight areas
and achieve optimum
exposure for each shot.
Nikon DX Format JFET image sensor LBCAST
Nikon’s exclusive JFET image sensor LBCAST
combines optimized resolution of 4.1 effective
megapixels with speed and low power consumption
to deliver maximum performance.
Color accurate Auto White Balance
Improvements to the metering technology for refi ned Auto White Balance
reduce the effect of ambient light on color reproduction for greater
consistency when shooting with Speedlights, and for better results when
shooting under low lighting conditions.
Nikon’s professional digital SLR
for action and sports photographers delivers
a winning combination of speed, image quality
and workfl ow effi ciency.
