Details:
Nikon calls their D4 Digital SLR Camera a "total professional imaging machine". Designed for the working photographer, the Nikon D4 meets the most-demanding photos needs and then some. Packed with features essential in getting the job done, and getting it done well this rig is more than a digital camera, it's a shooter's bread and butter.
The Nikon D4 is the next-generation flagship professional digital SLR camera. Equipped with a new Nikon FX-format CMOS image sensor and EXPEED 3 image processor, the Nikon D4 is the ultimate combination of versatility, functionality, superior image quality and high-speed performance. The Nikon D4 has an effective pixel count of 16.2 megapixels, and offers superb image quality across a broad range of lighting conditions, with its sensor supporting an incredible range of sensitivities from ISO 50 to ISO 204,800. Its 51-point AF system delivers enhanced performance in subject acquisition and focusing in low-light situations. Plus high-speed continuous shooting up to 11 fps at full resolution maximizes your opportunity for getting the perfect shot. The Nikon D4 dual memory card slots support UDMA 7 CF cards as well as the new XQD card format.
Nikon D4 Features:
Nikon D4 Newly-designed 16.2 Megapixels FX-Format CMOS Sensor - The Nikon D4 sensor is optimally balanced between the FX-format sensor size of 36.0 x 23.9 mm and 16.2 effective megapixels with a large 7.3µm pixel size to deliver stunning depth and detail. Incredibly clean images with smooth gradations even at high ISO sensitivities can be realized thanks to the optimized noise-reduction design and 14-bit A/D conversion built into the sensor.
Nikon D4 Super-charged EXPEED 3 Image-Processing Engine - EXPEED 3 performs multiple tasks at blindingly fast speeds, and delivers faithful, well-saturated colour, natural depth and an exceptionally wide dynamic range, giving subtle and nuanced tones. Even when shooting in dim lighting at high ISO sensitivities, the Nikon D4 camera's intelligent noise reduction lowers noise without degrading image sharpness. EXPEED 3 has been optimized for video as well, rendering movies with reduced moiré, false colours and "jaggies".
Nikon D4 ISO 12800 As Standard - Expandable to ISO 50, ISO 204,800 - Provides low-noise performance at ISO 12800 and extends the range one EV further, compared with that of the D3S, making ISO 100 standard. For more challenging conditions, equivalent ISO 50 and ISO 204800 sensitivities are available so you can confidently shoot in low-light.
10/11 fps Continuous Shooting In FX Format For Up To 200 Frames - Expect 10-fps shutter bursts with full AF and AE performance in FX format. The frame rate can also be boosted to up to 11 fps in FX format. The camera's large buffer memory allows shooting up to approx. 100 frames in RAW and up to 200 frames in JPEG (when using SONY XQD Memory Card H series QD-H32 with 32 GB capacity) so you can keep shooting faster and longer.
Faster Total Workflow Speed - The Nikon D4 speed runs across its entire workflow. The camera is ready to shoot in approx. 0.12 s, and release time lag is minimized to a mere approx. 0.042 s.
Nikon D4 Advanced Scene Recognition System – Provides very accurate autofocus, auto exposure, i-TTL flash, Active D-Lighting and auto white balance results. At the heart of the system is a precise RGB sensor that meticulously reads each scene via 91K-pixels. The system also recognizes human faces when shooting with the optical viewfinder.
Nikon D4 Face detection for improved AF, AE, i-TTL balanced fill flash and Active D-Lighting - When people's faces are priority subjects, the Advanced Scene Recognition System with the camera's auto-area AF mode accurately recognizes human faces and achieves sharp focus immediately and automatically - useful when there's no time to manually choose focus point.
Advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX AF Sensor Module - Utilizes 51 strategically placed AF points that are designed to capture your subject as chosen. All 51 AF points are usable with every AF NIKKOR lens of f/5.6 or faster. The D4 delivers high performance even in extremely low-lit situations. AF detection is fast and accurate down to an impressive -2 EV (ISO 100, 20°C/68°F.
Fast Initial AF Detection Speed - The faster initial AF detection captures decisive moments like never before, which is advantageous when there is not enough time to press the shutter-release button halfway to focus, or if the subject moves fast or appears unexpectedly. Great for sports shooting.
15 cross-type sensors in the central area and 11 focus points compatible with f/8 - The Nikon D4 aligns its 15 cross-type sensors in the central viewfinder area to detect contrast in both vertical and horizontal lines for better AF performance. Each cross-type sensor is responsive with f/5.6 and provides its full performance with all AF-NIKKOR lenses. Moreover, the five central focus points and three points to the left and right of them in the middle line are compatible with f/8. This delivers a new level of potential when using teleconverters on super telephoto lenses and shooting distant subjects, such as sports or wildlife.
Nikon D4 AF modes and AF-area modes - From fast-breaking news stories and high-speed sports and action to unpredictable wildlife and dimly lit wedding receptions, the D4's wide range of optimized AF options are ready to respond to a host of needs.
Broadcast Quality Video - The Nikon D4 can record 1080p Full HD video at 30/25 or 24p in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format with broadcast quality full of fine tones and natural colors. Maximum recording time for a single clip is 29 min. 59 s. Thanks to Nikon's latest image-processing algorithms, the D4's video ensures a smooth look with fewer "jaggies" and less moiré while maintaining sharp edges, even in dark conditions.
Excellent Audio Control - The Nikon D4 is designed for crisp stereo recording with a built-in external stereo microphone connector. Attach the compact Stereo Microphone ME-1 to record clear sound while significantly reducing mechanical noise. An external headphone connector enables use of headphones to effectively monitor and control audio in isolation. The Nikon D4 indicators offer visual confirmation of audio level and the microphone sensitivity can be precisely controlled in 20 incremental steps.
Reliable Operation In Every Situation - Both horizontal and vertical orientations have identically laid-out controls, consisting of a main command dial, a sub-command dial, an AF-ON button and a multi selector. The Nikon D4 vertical hold is also now more secure with a newly added thumb grip and an extended grip area for the fingers. When shooting in the dark, the illuminated buttons allow quick and confident identification of function.
