If the memory card already contains a folder numbered 999, the shutter release will be disabled. If sequential file numbering is on, the shutter release will also be disabled if the current folder is numbered 999 and contains a picture numbered 9999. To con- tinue shooting, create a folder with a number less than 999, or select an existing folder with a number less than 999 and less than 999 images.

Creating a Folder at Startup

If the button is pressed when the camera is turned on, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder number if no empty folders already exist.

D2x specifications

The Nikon D2x, launched in 2005, marked a significant advancement in digital photography for both professionals and enthusiasts. It was designed to deliver exceptional performance and quality within a robust body, making it a trusted companion for various photographic scenarios.

At the heart of the D2x is a 12.4 megapixel CMOS sensor, which offers a remarkable level of detail and enables large prints without compromising image quality. This sensor distinguishes itself by providing excellent dynamic range and responsiveness, allowing photographers to capture stunning images even in challenging lighting conditions.

One of the D2x's standout features is its dual-area autofocus system. The camera boasts 11 AF points, with three-dimensional focus tracking that intelligently predicts the movement of subjects, ensuring sharp focus even with fast-moving objects. This makes it particularly suitable for sports and wildlife photography, where decisive moments are fleeting.

The D2x operates with a high-speed continuous shooting mode, capable of capturing up to 5 frames per second in RAW format. This is a crucial feature for action photographers who need quick succession shots to get that perfect frame. Additionally, the camera offers a burst mode that enables extended shooting, with a capacity for up to 85 frames in JPEG format, ensuring that no moment is missed.

Another highlight of the Nikon D2x is its advanced metering system, which utilizes 1005 pixel RGB sensors to achieve precise exposure control. This system evaluates the scene and ensures that highlights and shadows are well-balanced for a natural look, contributing to the overall quality of images produced.

The D2x is built with a rugged magnesium alloy body designed to withstand tough conditions, making it suitable for fieldwork. It also integrates an ergonomic design that enhances comfort during prolonged shooting sessions, accommodating the demanding nature of professional use.

In terms of connectivity, the D2x includes USB 2.0 and HDMI ports for easy connectivity and data transfer. It also supports Nikon’s Creative Lighting System, which allows for advanced flash synchronization and control, giving photographers flexibility in managing lighting setups.
