Viewfinder

The D1 provides an optical-type fixed eye-level pentaprism viewfinder which features frame coverage of approx. 96%, a high eyepoint at 22mm at -1 DP, and a diopter adjustment within -3 to +1 DP.

Eyepiece shutter

During self-timer operation or for remote use, you can use the eyepiece shutter to prevent unwanted light from entering.

Thumbnail playback and Slide show A nine-segment thumbnail playback mode is available. In Slide show mode, you can view captured images, which advance one at a time automatically, in sequence.

NTSC/PAL selectable

You can view D1 images on an NTSC- or PAL-system monitor.

Exposure control

[¡], [™], [£], [¢] exposure modes

The D1 provides convenient auto exposure modes — [ ¡] Programmed Auto,

[™] Shutter-Priority Auto, and [£] Aperture- Priority Auto for easy, high-quality results. [¢] Manual exposure mode allows you to

Exposure compensation

Ranges from –5 to +5 EV in 1/2 or 1/3 EV steps, for creative exposure control. Instant exposure compensation is possible even during shooting, using either of the two command dials via Custom Setting. Furthermore, Auto Exposure Bracketing of two or three frames in 1/3 to 1 EV steps is possible in all exposure modes.

Versatile usage

The D1 provides various features that further increase the camera’s versatility. The flash sync terminal enables the use of large flash units for studio photography. The Anti-vibration mode effects a delay between the instant of shutter release and image capture in order to prevent mirror shock, delivering the successful output that is crucial in such specialized applications as photomicrography.

CompactFlash™ Card (Type I/II) The CompactFlash™ (CF) Card is a removable mass storage device which boasts durable construction and easy expandability. It is also compatible with Type I/II, ensuring greater compatibility and interoperability in the future.

Dedicated software

Nikon has designed dedicated software, available separately, which affords you the freedom to be more explorative in digital imaging, while allowing you systematic

Using “Nikon View DX”, data recorded in the CF card in the D1 body can be recognized as independent media on the desktop of the computer via the IEEE1394 interface.

“Nikon Capture” Control Software

Via an IEEE1394 interface, “Nikon Capture” allows you to operate virtually all functions of the D1 — including image data reading, remote shooting and custom settings such as tone compensation — from your personal computer. Since the image data are directly transmitted to and stored in your computer without memory cards, you have plenty of time to read data, making it great for studio photo shooting. It also downloads and processes 12-bit Raw data — direct output data of the CCD image sensor — to reproduce 2.7-megapixel Raw images.

NOTE: “Nikon Capture” is needed to reproduce Raw/YCbCr-TIFF mode; “Nikon View DX” is needed to reproduce YCbCr-TIFF mode.

F-mount Nikkor lenses Virtually any Nikkor lens featuring the Nikon F-mount can be used with the D1 — over 80 lenses in all, including the AF-S Nikkor lens lineup which features ultra-fast, quiet autofocus operation. D1 picture angle is equivalent to approx. 1.5x focal length in 35mm [135] format.
