D2HS
High Performance
◆ The class-leading detection range and
flexibility of Nikon’s advanced 11-area
Multi-CAM 2000 AF module features
improved focus precision with faster subject
acquisition and subject tracking capabilities.
◆ Improved exposure metering system allows
Nikon's 1,005-pixel RGB Exposure/Color
Matrix Metering Sensor to better determine
brightness and size of highlight areas and
achieve optimum exposure for each shot.
◆ Voice memo feature allows the photographer
to record voice memos as WAV files of up to
60 seconds after each shot (auto/manual) or
when in playback mode. These memos can
be listened to via the built-in speaker when
in playback mode or during slideshows.
◆ Has a built-in intervalometer that makes
time-lapse photography easy and portable.
◆ External GPS units can be connected via the
optional adapter cable (MC-35) to store the
latitude, longitude, altitude and UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time) of a shot in
the file's metadata.
◆ High-resolution 2.5˝ LCD with 232,000-
pixels delivers clearer, flicker-free image
playback at up to 15x magnification. An
improved histogram and selectable RGB
Histogram displays allow for quick, easy and
accurate exposure confirmation.
◆ Nikon's intuitive menu navigation uses
color coding and large type to further
improve operational ease, as do the menu
help function, chronological Recent Settings
list, and the World Time menu with world
map to keep Exif data current across
differing time zones.
◆ Adding to the flexibility and efficiency of its
three available color mode settings, the D2Hs
offers sYCC color space support to JPEG files
for a wider gamut that can fully exploit the
output capabilities of the latest color printers
◆ Eight manual white balance modes are
available plus a Color Temperature mode
that lets you select color temperature settings
directly from 31 values covering a range
between 2,500°K and 10,000°K.
◆ Preset mode allows quick selection from five
white balance settings stored in memory to
match a frequented venue or other conditions
shot under regularly. WB Bracketing for
two to nine frames is available in adjustable
increments of 10, 20 or 30 MIREDs.
Lightweight, Compact and Durable
◆ The D2Hs is housed in a durable, lightweight and compact magnesium alloy body built to
withstand the rigors of professional assignments. The sealing system is designed to cover every
possible seam and exposed part to make the body highly resistant to water and dust. You will
immediately appreciate the ergonomic layout and size of the buttons and controls.
◆ Operation is both smooth and intuitive, making the D2Hs comfortable in your hand and
practical to use, even when wearing gloves. There are Command and Sub Command dials for
both horizontal and vertical shooting, large AF-On buttons, and the multi-selector.
i-TTL Flash Control and Nikon’s Creative Lighting System
Nikon’s exclusive i-TTL flash control delivers excellent flash exposures, even in bright light
conditions. Advanced Wireless Lighting enables total remote operation over the versatile
functions of up to four groups of multiple Nikon SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights. The D2Hs is
also compatible with the SB-80DX and other earlier Speedlights that use D-TTL flash control.
High Capacity Battery
◆ The D2Hs uses an EN-EL4 lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Compact
and lightweight, the EN-EL4 has the energy capacity to realize up to 2,900
images per charge. It is free from “memory effect”, so can be recharged at
any time or any level. Discharge cycle characteristics extend battery life,
and it performs better when subjected to low temperature conditions.
◆ An accurate status display on the LCD monitor shows the percent of remaining battery
charge, the number of shots taken since the last charge, the overall status of the battery’s life,
and recommends calibration when necessary. A microchip built into the battery measures
discharge capacity and compares it to the full (maximum) capacity recorded when the battery
was last calibrated.
Versatile Software Supplied
Updated to better satisfy professional demands, Nikon’s PictureProject software provides fast
and easy access to powerful image management, editing and sharing tools. Features include
automatic file import, drag-and-drop organization, easy CD/DVD archiving, and plug-in filter
support for flexible expandability.
Capture NX Software (optional)
The unique, powerful and expandable environment provides the fullest
control over processing Nikon’s RAW (NEF) files for optimum results, and
enables extensive remote control and transfer options for all Nikon D-SLR
cameras. Version 4.2 incorporates sophisticated new tools to increase
productivity and creative control even further.
Optional Wireless Transmitter
The optional Wireless Transmitter WT-2/2A supports IEEE
802.11g for faster transfer speeds, while maintaining full
backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b networks.
Wireless security options are strengthened and a wider
variety of network protocols supported, including the
revolutionary PTP/IP protocol that enables complete wireless
remote control of the camera from a computer. The D2Hs is
also compatible with the Wireless Transmitter WT-1/1A.
