u Camera Characteristics
• Features a 23.4×15.6 mm CMOS sensor with approximately 14.6 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.
• Provides high-speed continuous shooting up to a maximum of
approximately 21 frames per second.
• Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera,
with a magnification of approximately 0.95 and field of view of
approximately 95%, 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 and color adjusting function for high-
precision viewing performance.
• Features a live view function for shooting while viewing the subject in
real-time on the monitor.
• 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 CMOS sensor features a special SP coating against dust deposit.
The Dust Removal function also shakes the CMOS for removing
collected dust.
• Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG2 with vertical shutter release
button. If a battery (D-LI50) 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 with options such as Fine Sharpness and Filter
Effect. These options allow you to make detailed settings, 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.
