See what a difference Nikon
makes
Built on 90 years of optical expertise
and decades of award-winning camera
designs, the Nikon family of cameras
covers every type of picture-taker –
from seasoned professionals to
travelers on vacation. The D60 is the
latest example of Nikon innovation,
transforming complex technology
into a fun, powerful and easy-to-use
camera. Nikon delivers the cutting-edge
technologies you would expect from
a digital SLR – fast response, creative
versatility, breathtaking image quality –
while eliminating complications and
frustrations so that taking pictures is
enjoyable and stress-free. With 10.2
megapixels, the D60’s image sensor
delivers high-resolution pictures with
rich, faithful color and detail that are
ready for stunning enlargements. It also
gives you the freedom to crop pictures
exactly as you want them. And with
Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix Metering II, you
can expect beautifully exposed pictures
under almost any lighting condition, with
Nikon’s original digital image processing
concept, EXPEED, comprehensively
optimizing your pictures, shot after shot.
Nikon Integrated Dust
Reduction System
Dust in front of your camera sensor
can mean distracting spots on
your pictures. That’s why Nikon
does everything
to ensure clear
pictures, including
minimizing the
build-up and
appearance of dust.
Nikon’s exclusive
Airflow Control
System is one of the
two main protections against dust. It
leads air within the mirror box towards
small ducts near the base, preventing
internal dust from settling in front of
the image sensor. The D60’s second
form of defense is the Imaging Sensor
Cleaning function, which was originally
built for the D300. Every time you turn
the camera on or off, this function
uses vibrations to steer dust away
from the optical low-pass filter in front
of the sensor (deactivation and manual
activation are also possible).
Nikon engineers
have also dealt
with dust and
other tiny particles
in many other
ways to prevent
such image-
degrading material
from attaching to
the filter or being seen by the sensor
when you are taking pictures.
With all these measures in place,
you can concentrate on getting the
shot while exploring the wide array of
NIKKOR interchangeable lenses that a
Nikon digital SLR opens up to you.
1. Airflow Control System
The Airflow Control System diverts the air
inside the mirror box, minimizing dust in
front of the image sensor.
2. Image Sensor Cleaning Function
Specialized vibrations effectively
reduce dust on the sensor’s optical
low-pass filter (OLPF).
Less dust on the image sensor means clearer images.
