angle supports your Live View shooting. There are three contrast-detect AF modes which let you focus on any point in the frame: Face priority AF automatically detects up to five faces and focuses on the one calculated to be the closest. Wide area AF offers a large AF area suitable for handheld shooting and normal area AF provides focus with pinpoint accuracy when using a tripod.

Innovative D-SLR movie function: D-Movie

A new idea for D-SLRs, the D90 offers a movie function, allowing you to shoot movies in three different motion JPEG formats: 320 x 216 pixels, 640 x 424 pixels and HD720p (1,280 x 720 pixels). Now you can capture life's moving moments with added drama by using many of Nikon's NIKKOR lenses, including the AF DX Fisheye 10.5mm f/2.8G ED and the Micro-NIKKOR lenses. The shallow depth of field can give your movies a more creative and emotional impact. An additional benefit is the D90 image sensor, which is much larger than a typical camcorder for higher image quality and exceptional high ISO performance during low-light shooting.

*Autofocus is not available when recording movies. Matrix metering is used regardless of the metering method selected.

16-frame grid display can be activated to align the horizontal and vertical lines in your image or assist in more pleasing compositions.

Built-in, pop-up flash commands

Advanced Wireless Lighting

The D90 is equipped with Nikon's i-TTL flash control, renowned for consistently accurate and balanced flash exposures. The built-in flash has an 18mm lens coverage and works as a wireless commander, controlling up to two independent groups of an unlimited number of remote Speedlights and providing incredible creative lighting control — on location or in the studio.

When you're not sure which camera settings are appropriate, simply rely on the Advanced Scene Modes. Just turn the mode dial to the appropriate icon: Portrait, Landscape, Close- up, Sports or Night Portrait. Unlike traditional scene modes, the D90 will automatically optimize the exposure, image processing, Active D-Lighting, and Picture Control to get the most out of your subject matter. What's more, the D90 has exceptional low-noise performance and accurately adjusts the camera settings whether VR (Vibration Reduction) is activated or not, so you can expect beautiful, crisp images, even in many low-light scenes.
