A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control panel and the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery, and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in loss of any data not recorded to the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the card will not be affected.

D2Hs specifications

The Nikon D2Hs, launched in 2005, marked a significant advancement in professional digital photography, particularly in the realm of sports and action photography. This camera is widely recognized for its robust build quality and impressive performance, making it a popular choice among professionals.

At the core of the D2Hs is a 4.1-megapixel DX-format CCD sensor. While the resolution may seem modest by today’s standards, the camera excels in delivering outstanding image quality with high sensitivity and low noise, even at elevated ISO levels. The D2Hs offers ISO settings ranging from 200 to 1600, with the option to expand to 3200, enabling photographers to capture detailed images in challenging lighting conditions.

One of the standout features of the D2Hs is its advanced autofocus system, which boasts a Multi-CAM 2000 sensor with 11 autofocus points, including three cross-type sensors. This allows for swift and accurate focusing on fast-moving subjects, making it an ideal tool for sports and wildlife photographers. The camera's burst shooting capability is another highlight, providing continuous shooting at 8 frames per second, allowing photographers to capture decisive moments in rapid succession.

The D2Hs is equipped with a durable and weather-sealed magnesium alloy body, designed to withstand the rigors of professional use. The camera is ergonomically designed for comfort, featuring a large, bright viewfinder and intuitive controls that provide immediate access to essential settings. This user-friendly design helps photographers focus on their craft without unnecessary distractions.

Nikon's Picture Control system is integrated into the D2Hs, allowing photographers to customize their image processing settings for optimized results. This feature enhances creative control over aspects such as contrast, brightness, and saturation, tailoring images to the photographer’s vision.

Additionally, the D2Hs supports Nikon's range of F-mount lenses, providing versatility in lens selection for various photographic situations. Coupled with its fast processing engine, the camera ensures images are rendered with significant detail and dynamic range.

In summary, the Nikon D2Hs embodies the perfect synergy of speed, durability, and image quality, making it an enduring choice for professional photographers. Its impressive autofocus system, robust build, high-speed performance, and flexibility with lenses solidify its place in the history of Nikon's digital cameras. Even years after its release, the D2Hs remains a respected choice for serious photographers seeking reliability and excellence in their work.
