Camera Characteristics
• Features a 23.5×15.7 mm CCD with approximately 10.2 million effective
pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range.
• Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake
reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with
minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type.
• Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide
cross area sensors.
• Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera,
with a magnification of approximately 0.85 and field of view of
approximately 96%, for easier manual focusing. Also features a
superimpose function in which the AF points on the viewfinder illuminate
red.
• Features a large 2.7-inch monitor with approximately 230,000 dots, a
wide viewing angle and brightness adjusting function for high-precision
viewing performance.
• Uses AA lithium batteries, rechargeable AA Ni-MH batteries or AA
alkaline batteries.
• A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the
camera. The large text, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use menus
make the camera easier to operate.
• Dials, buttons, body joints, and retractable parts of the camera are
splash and dust resistant.
• The CCD features a special SP coating against dust deposit. The Dust
Removal function also shakes the CCD for removing collected dust.
• Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG3 with the vertical shutter
release button. If batteries are inserted in both the camera and grip, the
battery set with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the
best camera performance for an extended period. A menu item also
allows you to prioritize a battery set and use its full power before
switching to the other.
• Features Custom Image which allows you to adjust settings while
previewing the edited image, enabling a wider range of expression.
• Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully
editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in
both formats. Pictures taken in RAW format can be easily processed
internally by the camera.
• Features Hyper-program and Hyper-manual modes that let you take
pictures flexibly with the intended exposure. Also features Sensitivity
Priority mode
K that automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speed
according to the set sensitivity.
