x Camera Characteristics
• Features a 23.5×15.7 mm CCD with approximately 10.2 million effective
pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range.
• Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake
reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with
minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type.
• Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide
cross area sensors.
• Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera,
with a magnification of approximately 0.85 and field of view of
approximately 96%, for easier manual focusing. Also features a
superimpose function in which the AF points on the viewfinder illuminate
red.
• Features a large 2.7-inch monitor with approximately 230,000 dots, a
wide viewing angle and brightness adjusting function for high-precision
viewing performance.
• Uses AA lithium batteries, rechargeable AA Ni-MH batteries or AA
alkaline batteries.
• A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the
camera. The large text, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use menus
make the camera easier to operate.
• Dials, buttons, body joints, and retractable parts of the camera are
splash and dust resistant.
• The CCD features a special SP coating against dust deposit. The Dust
Removal function also shakes the CCD for removing collected dust.
• Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG3 with vertical shutter release
button. If a battery is inserted in both the camera and grip, the battery
with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the best camera
performance for an extended period. A menu item also allows you to
prioritize a battery and use its full power before switching to the other
battery.
• Features Custom Image which allows you to adjust settings while
previewing the edited image, enabling a wider range of expression.
• Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully
editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in
both formats. Pictures taken in RAW format can be easily processed
internally by the camera.
• Features Hyper-program and Hyper-manual modes that let you take
pictures flexibly with the intended exposure. Also features Sensitivity
Priority mode K that automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speed
according to the set sensitivity.
