Outstanding reliability

Tough enough to meet any challenge

Strong, lightweight body

For rugged, reliable performance under the toughest shooting conditions, the top and front covers of the are constructed from a strong, lightweight magnesium alloy. Inside the camera, the high tensile-strength aluminium alloy chassis plus high-rigidity engineering- grade plastics contribute further to structural integrity and low weight.

Power for worry-free shooting

New InfoLITHIUMTM battery with high-precision level display

Providing generous reserves of power for worry-free extended shooting,

theuses a newly developed high-density InfoLithium battery (NPFM500H). Fully charged, it packs enough power for approximately 650 shots.* Remaining power can be displayed as a 5-level indicator or in 1% increments – so there’s no need to guess how much battery power is left.

*CIPA standard test; built-in flash used on 50% of shots.

Superior dust and moisture resistance

No matter how strong its internal and external body components are, any camera will suffer if it’s not protected against the elements. The features buttons, dials, and switches that are safeguarded by gaskets and sealants to keep dust and water droplets out.*

*Not waterproof or splashproof.

With any digital SLR camera, care is needed to prevent airborne dust particles getting into the camera and contaminating the sensor when you’re

changing lenses. The features an anti-dust coating that prevents static electricity build up on the low-pass fi lter, making it easier to remove any stray dust particles inside the camera with a blower. In addition, the ExmorTM CMOS image sensor is equipped with an anti-dust system that dislodges dust particles by vibrating the sensor momentarily every time the camera is switched off.

High-endurance shutter unit

For long-term reliability under heavy use, the features

anewly developed high-precision, high-speed shutter unit that offers outstanding durability. Capable of withstanding the performance demands of 1/8000 sec. shutter speeds and 5 fps continuous shooting, it’s proven to approximately 100,000 shutter cycles. The shutter unit is also optimised

to enable high-precision Super SteadyShot® sensor-shift movement for improved anti-shake performance.
