Enter the new flagship of Nikon’s Digital SLR lineup: D4.
Engineered for
professionals, D4 strikes an ideal balance between resolution, sensor size,
image processing and ISO range. Its newly designed FX-format sensor and EXPEED3
processor enable image capture up to 10 fps with full AE/AF performance and Full
1080p HD video. Combine that with cutting-edge metering and AF systems,
intelligently designed controls, an ultra-rugged body and multiple connectivity
options, and D4 liberates the world’s top-notch photographers and multimedia
artists like never before.
D4 offers a level of speed and accuracy that will redefine your notion of the
fleeting moment. A carefully selected FX-format 16.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor is
paired with Nikon’s powerful EXPEED3 image processor for stunning stills up to
11 fps. A 91,000-Pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering III sensor partners with
Nikon’s Advanced SRS to deliver unmatched accuracy in every frame. Add a faster,
more responsive 51-point AF system for a camera that can keep pace with you.
What are speed and accuracy without image quality? Nikon’s FX-format (36.0mm
x 23.9mm) CMOS image sensor delivers 16.2 effective megapixels of resolution for
exquisite detail. Each of this remarkable sensor’s 7.3-micron pixels is designed
to collect maximum light to produce stunning images and video across D4’s broad
ISO range of 100 to 12,800 (expandable down to 50 and up to 204,800). Expect the
highest image quality in bright and dark shooting. Plus, EXPEED3 image
processing yields the most faithful colors, tones and a wide dynamic range.
D4’s remarkable design is the culmination of photographer feedback and Nikon
innovation. Adjust AF and AF Area modes without moving your eye from the
viewfinder. Quickly select AF points with a new joystick style
sub-selector—positioned for both horizontal and vertical shooting. In low-light,
all operation buttons and dials are beautifully backlit. Two media card slots
offer flexibility and control. Built-in wired LAN and the optional WT-5A
Wireless Transmitter enable secure, high-speed file transmission as well as
remote camera functionality. Simply put, D4 was built to meet professional
demands.
Draw on the full potential of D4: world-renowned NIKKOR lenses, the Nikon
Creative Lighting System, Speedlights, accessories and software. Each impressive
FX and DX lens in the NIKKOR lineup is fully tested to deliver sharpness,
accuracy and reliability. Bring studio quality lighting to assignments with
Nikon Speedlights. Only Nikon offers i-TTL (Intelligent Through The Lens) flash
control, which allows Nikon Speedlights to access extensive exposure and
metering data from D4 to provide unprecedented levels of flash precision and
performance. Nikon’s professional imaging software, and a robust line of
compatible accessories will help you expand your capabilities.
When the world is waiting, being the first to publish makes all the
difference. Nikon’s powerful new wireless transmitter, WT-5A, attaches directly
to D4 to securely and quickly transfer files.
