Nikon DX Format JFET image sensor LBCAST

Nikon’s exclusive JFET image sensor LBCAST combines optimized resolution of 4.1 effective megapixels with speed and low power consumption to deliver maximum performance.

Color accurate Auto White Balance

Improvements to the metering technology for reﬁned Auto White Balance reduce the effect of ambient light on color reproduction for greater consistency when shooting with Speedlights, and for better results when shooting under low lighting conditions.

An all-new higher resolution 2.5-inch 232,000-pixel LCD monitor delivers clearer, ﬂicker-free image playback at up to 15x magniﬁcation. An improved histogram and new selectable RGB Histogram displays allow for quick, easy and accurate exposure conﬁrmation.

Improved information displays

Nikon’s intuitive menu navigation uses color coding and large type to further improve operational ease, as do the new menu help function, chronological Recent Settings list, and the World Time menu with world map to keep Exif data current across differing time zones.
