Proven endurance: Resilient shutter units

Reliability is not a luxury — it's a necessity. That's why Nikon subjected numerous D90 shutter mechanisms to grueling 100,000-cycle shutter-release tests with the unit fully assembled in the

camera.

More playback options

The D90 gives you ample options for viewing and selecting the right shot. Thumbnail display can show up to 72 frames at a time on the LCD, while Calendar playback arranges images in chronological order. You can also check the histograms of a magnified portion of an image. When selecting shots for deleting, hiding, printing and Pictmotion, you can also choose an image by specifying date of capture.

Extensive in-camera Retouch Menus

The D90's wide variety of image editing functions makes it possible for you to enhance your pictures without the need for a computer, making creative exploration easier than ever.

The editing menus

Straighten (manual control in +/–5 degree)

Distortion Control (automatic compensation using lens information and manual compensation selectable)

Fisheye (optical effects similar to a fisheye lens, select from 10 levels)

An exciting way to enjoy images:

HDMI compatibility

You can enjoy both still images and movies shot with the D90 via HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) with the global-standard digital A/V signal transfer. HDMI connector (mini size) is employed.

Intelligent power management

Because of the D90's highly efficient energy-saving design, approx. 850 pictures can be taken on a single charge of the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e. (CIPA standard, with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, with 50% of pictures taken with flash)
