Expect stunning detail thanks to an innovative sensor
and NIKKOR lenses
With the goal of increasing pixel
count while minimizing high ISO
noise, Nikon engineers created
a way to get the most out of this
camera’s astounding 24.3 effective
megapixels using the new FX-
format sensor. Using its high S/N
(signal-to-noise) ratio, the D600 achieves stunning details, all
while keeping noise remarkably low throughout the wide ISO
range, and even further reduced at ISO 100. The D600’s large
pixel count also means more flexibility in cropping during
post-production. Combine these benefits with beautiful
bokeh from a large FX-format sensor and a much wider array
of compatible NIKKOR lens choices, and
you can see how much potential the
D600 truly offers.
EXPEED 3 for faster, more intelligent
image processing
Utilized by top-end models like the D4 and
D800 series, EXPEED 3 generates
extraordinary images. That same
image-processing engine is
found in the D600. The camera’s
24.3-megapixel image files
are large, but EXPEED 3 handles
them smoothly and efficiently, which
translates into more shooting confidence for you during
continuous shooting, card recording, image playback and
image transfer. Even with specialized processing features
like Active D-Lighting and high ISO noise reduction, the
effect on capture speed is minimized. EXPEED 3’s state-
of-the-art intelligence successfully reduces noise at higher
ISOs without sacrificing fine details, all while broadening
the dynamic range and improving color reproduction in
signicant ways.
FX format for more flexible control of light
From the bright, harsh noonday sun, to low-lit interiors or
evening scenes, the large FX-format sensor handles light so
effectively that it delivers exceptional image clarity from ISO
100 up to ISO 6400. When it comes to high ISO settings,
Nikon takes image quality very seriously.
Strict standards have been put into place to
ensure clearer pictures. When the situation
demands even more versatility, you can now
push your light sensitivity to ISO 50 (Lo 1) or
ISO 25600 (Hi 2) equivalent. The higher ISO
capability gives the D600 a specific edge,
not only creating further handheld shooting
opportunities via faster shutter speeds, but
also offering video enthusiasts the condence
to shoot in darker places.
Nikon’s noise reduction method
Thanks to its improved image processing performance
and a comprehensive noise reduction system, the
D600 successfully minimizes noise at higher ISOs while
substantially broadening the standard ISO range. What
makes Nikon’s noise reduction method
superior is that noise appearing in an image is
analyzed, and then optimized noise reduction
is applied accordingly. The result: effective
noise control in your movies and still images,
all without sacricing the ne details.
