Viewfinder

 

 

 

 

Diopter adjustment

–3–+1 m–1

 

 

Focusing screen

Type B BriteView Clear Matte Mark VIII screen with AF area brackets

 

 

 

(framing grid can be displayed)

 

Reflex mirror

Quick return

 

 

Depth-of-field preview

Pressing depth-of-field preview button stops lens aperture down to

 

 

 

value selected by user (A and M modes) or by camera (other modes)

 

Lens aperture

Instant return, electronically controlled

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lens

 

 

 

 

Compatible lenses

Compatible with AF NIKKOR lenses, including type G, E, and D lenses

 

 

 

(some restrictions apply to PC lenses) and DX lenses (using DX 24 × 16

 

 

1.5× image area), AI-P NIKKOR lenses, and non-CPU AI lenses (A and M

 

 

modes only). IX NIKKOR lenses, lenses for the F3AF, and non-AI lenses

 

 

can not be used.

 

 

The electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a

 

 

maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster (the electronic rangefinder supports

 

 

the center 7 focus points with lenses that have a maximum aperture of

 

 

f/8 or faster and the center 33 focus points with lenses that have a

 

 

maximum aperture of f/6.8 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 (requires optional ML-L3

 

 

 

remote control), X200

 

Flash sync speed

X=1/200 s; synchronizes with shutter at 1/250 s or slower (flash range drops

 

 

 

at speeds between 1/200 and 1/250 s)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Release

 

 

 

 

Release mode

S (single frame), CL (continuous low speed), CH (continuous high speed),

 

 

 

J(quiet shutter-release), M(quiet continuous shutter-release), E(self-

 

 

timer), 4(remote control), MUP (mirror up)

 

Frame advance rate

1–5 fps (CL), 6 fps (CH), or 3 fps (M)

 

 

Self-timer

2 s, 5 s, 10 s, 20 s; 1–9 exposures at intervals of 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 s

 

 

Remote release modes

Delayed remote, quick-response remote, remote mirror-up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exposure

 

 

 

 

Metering

TTL exposure metering using 2,016-pixel RGB sensor

 

 

Metering method

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

 

 

 

 

metering II (other CPU lenses); color matrix metering available with

 

 

 

non-CPU lenses if user provides lens data

 

 

• Center-weighted: Weight of 75% given to 12 mm circle in center of frame.

 

 

 

Diameter of circle can be changed to 8, 15, or 20 mm, or weighting can

 

 

 

be based on average of entire frame (non-CPU lenses use 12-mm circle

 

 

 

or average of entire frame)

 

 

• Spot: Meters 4 mm circle (about 1.5% of frame) centered on selected

 

 

 

focus point (on center focus point when non-CPU lens is used)

 

Range (ISO 100, f/1.4

•

Matrix or center-weighted metering: 0–20 EV

 

n

lens, 20 °C/68 °F)

•

Spot metering: 2–20 EV
