Lens

Compatible lenses

Autofocus is available with AF-S and AF-I lenses. Autofocus is not

 

available with other type G and D lenses, AF lenses (IX NIKKOR and lenses

 

for the F3AF are not supported), and AI-P lenses. Non-CPU lenses can be

 

used in mode M, but the camera exposure meter will not function.

 

The electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a

 

maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster.

 

 

 

Shutter

 

 

Type

Electronically-controlled vertical-travel focal-plane shutter

Speed

1/4000 – 30 s in steps of 1/3 or 1/2 EV; Bulb; Time

Flash sync speed

X=1/200 s; synchronizes with shutter at 1/200 s or slower

 

 

 

Release

 

 

Release mode

8(single frame), !(continuous L), 9(continuous H), J(quiet

 

shutter release), E(self-timer), "(delayed remote; ML-L3), #(quick-

 

response remote; ML-L3); interval timer photography supported

Frame advance rate

• !: Up to 3 fps

 

• 9: Up to 5 fps (JPEG and 12-bit NEF/RAW) or 4 fps (14-bit NEF/RAW)

 

Note: Frame rates assume continuous-servo AF, manual or shutter-

selected for Custom Setting a1 (AF-C priority selection), and other

 

settings at default values.

Metering mode

TTL exposure metering using 2016-pixel RGB sensor

Metering method

• Matrix metering: 3D color matrix metering II (type G, E, and D lenses);

 

 

color matrix metering II (other CPU lenses)

 

• Center-weighted metering: Weight of 75% given to 8-mm circle in center

 

 

of frame

 

• Spot metering: Meters 3.5-mm circle (about 2.5% of frame) centered on

 

 

selected focus point

Range (ISO 100, f/1.4

•

Matrix or center-weighted metering: 0–20 EV

lens, 20 °C/68 °F)
