Powerful tools for quick and easy photo editing

Nikon's latest non-destructive 
photo editing software gets the 
most out of your JPEG, TIFF 
and RAW (NEF) photographs. 
Like Nikon's Picture Control 
feature, Capture NX 2 is 
designed for photographers. 
It features the award-winning 
patented U Point technology, which enables you to:
– Modify and enhance color and details quickly and precisely 

with only a few mouse clicks

– Quickly fix blemishes and other distracting elements with the 

Auto Retouch Brush

– Easily select any area for adjustment without the need for 

complicated layers or masks

–  Enjoy full support for all RAW (NEF) settings

ViewNX   

Browse and organize with ease

This powerful photo browsing 
and editing software is supplied 
with your D90. With one click, 
the browser allows you to work 
with your RAW (NEF) and JPEG 
files, which can also be used to 
adjust exposure compensation 
and white balance or optimize 
images via the Picture Control utility. Labels can be added to 
help categorize, prioritize and filter your images. You can even 
create your own Picture Control settings and save the results 
for sharing with other D-SLRs that support Picture Control.

Camera Control Pro 2  

Take control of your photography — remotely

With Camera Control Pro 2, you can remotely operate and 
adjust most of the D90’s settings, including full control of 
Live View, Picture Control, white balance and the 11-point AF 
system.

NIKKOR lenses: 

Exceptional image integrity on Nikon cameras

For 75 years, NIKKOR lenses have delivered unmatched 
optical performance. From ultra-wide-angle to super telephoto, 
NIKKOR lenses have been praised the world over for their ability 
to deliver extraordinary sharpness, contrast, color accuracy and 
consistency. Many NIKKOR interchangeable lenses include the 
advantage of Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) system, allowing 
you to shoot up to three or four shutter speeds slower* than 
would otherwise be possible. This is just one of a host of 
innovative technologies that give NIKKOR lenses the level of 
quality that so many professionals demand.

*Under Nikon measurement conditions

Nikon Creative Lighting System

The D90 works seamlessly with Nikon Speedlights such as the 
SB-900, SB-800, SB-600, SB-400 and Wireless Speedlight 
Commander SU-800. It is also fully compatible with the Nikon 
Creative Lighting System and the built-in flash works as a 
commander for off-camera Speedlights to deliver accurate flash 
lighting via i-TTL flash control and Advanced Wireless Lighting.

Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D80

The MB-D80 gives you the choice of using one or two 
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e or six 
R6/AA-size batteries*

1

 to extend your battery 

life up to 1700 shots*

2

. An ergonomically 

placed shutter-release button also allows for more 
comfortable vertical shooting.

*1 Compatible R6/AA-size batteries: alkaline, Ni-MH, lithium and nickel-manganese
*2 When using two Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e

Remote Cord MC-DC2

Ideal for tripod shooting, the MC-DC2 
allows you to release the shutter when 
you want to avoid camera vibration or to 
shoot from a distance. It can also keep 
the shutter-release button pressed for 
long-time exposures (bulb).

GPS Unit GP-1

With the GPS Unit GP-1 attached to 
the D90, location information such as 
latitude, longitude, altitude and time are 
automatically recorded to each image's 
EXIF data.

AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

This is a versatile 5.8x zoom lens with VR (Vibration 
Reduction), making it ideal for a wide range of 
photography — from landscapes to portraits. The 
aspherical lens element and ED glass are used for 
superb sharpness. (Picture angle is equivalent to a 
27-157.5mm lens in 35mm and FX-formats.)

AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

This compact and lightweight lens covers the wide 
focal range of 16mm, and with VR II (Vibration 
Reduction), you can shoot at shutter speeds up to 
four stops slower* and ED glass elements control 
color aberration. (Picture angle is equivalent to a 
24-127.5mm lens in 35mm and FX-formats.)

*Under Nikon measurement conditions

AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED

This impressive lens lets you shoot as close as 
18.5 cm/7.28 in. Its Nano Crystal Coat reduces 
ghost and flare lighting problems in backlit situations 
or when shooting towards a light source, while two 
aspherical lens elements and ED glass deliver preci-
sion for your close-up photography. (Picture angle is 
equivalent to a 90mm lens in DX-format.)
