q3D Color Matrix Metering

Performance-proven 3D Color Matrix Metering, originally designed for the Nikon F5, is also incorporated into the D1. This metering mode can handle even the most difficult light- ing conditions, assuring you of the best possible exposure for every shot.

This mode affords you a high degree

of control. The meter concentrates

75% of its sensitivity on the 8mm-diameter

3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash for D1

with SB-28DX and D-type Nikkor lens. The D1’s built-in computer calculates the proper flash output level according to the data from the TTL Multi Sensor, lens aperture and distance information with the results of 3D Color Matrix Metering to create a beautifully balanced picture, even in difficult situations like a scene with a reflective background, or with no background such as when shooting at night.

Flash sync modes

The D1 is equipped with five flash

digital SLR cameras, ensure smooth, worry-

free operation.* Only when using CF Card.

Up to 21 consecutive shots at 4.5 fps

The new system LSI and the large buffer memory capacity contribute to the achieve- ment of ‘superfast’ and long consecutive shooting. In Continuous shooting mode, users can take as many as 21 consecutive shots** at a rate of up to a blazing 4.5 frames per second while maintaining high

resolution. ** Up to 10 shots in Raw mode.

Digital imaging versatility

TTL White Balance

To complement the high-precision Auto mode with its extremely natural coloration, the D1 provides Preset mode and Manual mode for white balance settings.

In Preset mode, a value previously mea- sured by TTL white balance can be stored and recalled. Manual mode provides six settings; 1) Incandescent light,

2) Fluorescent light, 3) Fine weather,

4)Cloudy weather, 5) Shade and 6) Flash condition, with further seven-step fine-tun- ing according to your preference.

Sharpness

Custom Setting #23 lets you choose from four preset values to control the sharpness of the image.

Charge-coupled electronic and mechanical shutters

If intense light is received by the CCD during data processing, this can adversely affect the data, resulting in the emergence of smear. The D1 alleviates this problem by incor- porating a mechanical shutter in addition to the charge-coupled electronic shutter to cut out the light, enabling the CCD to capture high-quality images.

Amazing shutter speed, sync speed

The charge-coupled electronic shutter enables you to set shutter speeds from

30 sec. to an amazing 1/16,000 sec., which can freeze virtually any subject in action. The maximum flash sync speed of up to 1/500 sec. expands your aperture choices for fill-flash photography in daylight.

Four-step sensitivity settings including ISO 1,600 equivalency You can manually set the sensitivity

from ISO-equivalent 200, 400, 800 and high-speed 1,600.

High-speed AF System

The D1 features the same performance- proven Multi-CAM1300 autofocus sensor module incorporating five AF sensors as the Nikon F5 and F100.

Focus mode

The D1 offers high-speed, accurate autofo- cus in Single Servo (S) AF or Continuous Servo (C) AF mode, along with fully mechanical Manual focus (M), adding smoothness and precision to operation.

AF area mode

The D1 provides two AF area modes:

1)Single Area AF — this mode gives you five strategic focusing positions

to work with in the frame. The selected focus

with the closest subject so that you can con-

centrate on shutter timing.

Focus Tracking

Focus Tracking is automatically activated when your subject starts to move, regard- less of the AF mode or AF area mode selected. The computer-assisted system analyzes the speed and anticipates the direction of movement of the subject while driving the autofocus. Focus Tracking is augmented by overlap servo, which ensures constant lens focusing adjustment — even during driving —

and Lock On™ , which allows continuous tracking of a subject, even in the event that it’s momentarily obscured.

Rapid data transfer with IEEE1394 (400Mbps)

The high-speed interface, IEEE1394 (400Mbps), makes possible the transfer of great amounts of data at a super-high rate. It enables you to take full advantage

of the D1’s digital capabilities, especially during studio photography.
