Datasheet

The power to adapt
In live view shooting, the Df has a new 9-cell framing grid
display in addition to the 16-cell framing grid for better 3:2
aspect ratio composition, as well as 16:9 and 1:1 aspect
ratios for post-shoot trimming. Virtual horizon displays the
rolling and pitching directions on the LCD monitor, while
the rolling direction can be seen in the viewfinder. Spot
White Balance lets you easily acquire preset manual data
based on a specific area within the frame you select during
live view. You can quickly reach a completely faithful white
balance setting for your selected subject by moving the
target across the entire frame with the multi selector. This
eliminates the need to use a gray card and allows you to
quickly acquire preset data even from a distant subject. This
is convenient when shooting indoors, where light sources
are more likely to be mixed.
The power to withstand
The Df has been designed to be lightweight and well
balanced, especially with compact prime NIKKORs.
These benefits – all of which are important for many
types of shooting excursions – come without sacrificing
dependability. The camera’s top, rear and bottom covers
use light and durable magnesium alloy, while various
sections of the camera body are effectively sealed to
attain superior dust-prevention and weather-resistance,
equivalent with the D800 series. The Df
employs a high-speed and high-precision
sequential control mechanism that
drives the shutter, mirror and aperture
independently, and the shutter has been
tested for 150,000 cycles
with the shutter unit and
driving mechanism actually
loaded in the camera to
prove its high durability.
The shutter unit also
incorporates a compact self-
diagnostic shutter monitor
to maintain the highest
levels of accuracy. Together
with energy-efficient
power management and
the compact EN-EL14a
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery,
it is possible to shoot up to
approx. 1,400 shots* per
charge.

The power to capture
The Df’s innovative fundamentals are designed to keep
photographers inspired. Its Multi-CAM 4800 autofocus
sensor module has 39 tightly packed, strategically placed
focus points that work together like a net to track your
subject and lock it into sharp focus. The nine cross-type
sensors in the center provide further accuracy, even when
your subject has little light or contrast to focus on. Even
when the maximum effective aperture of your telephoto
lens is as slow as f/8 with
a teleconverter attached,
you can still rely on the Df’s
AF performance with seven
active focus points. If speed is
required, the Df is capable of
continuous bursts at approx.
5.5 fps

Nikon’s exclusive Scene
Recognition System uses the
2016-pixel RGB sensor and
image sensor to precisely
analyze every shooting scene
before a picture is taken and
then apply the data to fine-
tune the autofocus, auto
exposure, i-TTL balanced fill-
flash and auto white balance
control. The result: profound
accuracy.

The power to display and edit
Whether in bright sunlight or dim interiors, it is critical
for photographers to easily be able to check images and
camera information through the camera’s LCD. The Df’s
large, 8-cm/3.2-in., approx. 921k-dot, high-definition LCD
monitor has a wide viewing angle, delivering clear visibility
with less surface reflection thanks to an integrated glass
and panel structure. The extended color reproduction range
ensures better image reviewing. The playback zoom can
magnify large-size FX-format
images up to approx. 30x (by
length comparison) for quick and
accurate focus confirmation. The
LCD’s text and background colors
switch as your location’s ambient
light changes, so that you can
view camera information more
clearly. The convenient
P
button
on the back of the camera body
allows direct access to menu
settings. Simply press the button
to change settings and modes
both during optical viewfinder
shooting and live view shooting –
all without digging deep into the
menu. Pressing this button during
playback prompts a variety of
retouch menu options to appear
on the monitor.
