D2XS
PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO
12.4-Megapixel Digital SLR
Offering remarkable performance and versatility, the D2Xs is equipped to meet
the requirements of today’s most demanding professional photographers. At the
heart of the system is a proven 12.4 million-pixel image sensor, advanced image
processing engine, and optimized systems that blend high levels of resolution
with superb image quality, pure color rendition, and class-leading speed.
The D2xs is capable of capturing 12.4 megapixel JPEG or RAW (NEF) images
at a rate of up to 5 fps in continuous shooting mode, and maintains a rapid
start-up time, the world's shortest shutter release time lag of just 37ms, as well
as a viewfinder blackout time of just 105 milliseconds. The D2xs also features a
High-Speed Crop mode that uses a specific central area of the sensor to capture
6.8 megapixel resolution images at an incredible rate of up to 8 frames per second.
ISO sensitivity options offer greater convenience to photographers who work under
constantly changing lighting conditions such as weddings. A 2.5˝, 235,000-pixel LCD monitor allows a 170° wide viewing angle,
and is individually calibrated at the factory to ensure consistent color fidelity. The D2xs has a unique Image Authentication
feature that can mark the authentication of an image captured by the camera and determine whether or not it has been
altered since capture. For even more versatility, using the optional WT-2A Wi-Fi transmitter achieves full wireless remote
camera control and transmission.
FEATURES
Highest Image Quality
◆ The CMOS sensor captures 12.4 million
effective pixels per image, producing
4,288 x 2,848-pixel images with the high
resolution and sharp detail needed for
commercial assignments. High-speed
4-channel independent data output
contributes to impressive levels of image
quality and system speed.
◆ Nikon’s powerful image processing engine
combines color independent analog
pre-conditioning with improved digital
image processing algorithms. This
innovative system delivers images with a
natural and appealing look that benefits
from faithful color reproduction and
realistic transitions between areas of
different color and tone.
◆ Very large image files are demanded by the
industry today. But with Nikon, high image
quality is so much more than a matter of
megapixels. In fact, a plethora of other high-
level technologies are required to achieve
the outstandingly high level of performance
that today’s photographers need, and these
are exactly what the D2Xs provides.
High-Speed Focusing
Updated to perform even faster and with greater
precision in the D2Xs, the 11-area AF system employs
Nikon’s advanced Multi-CAM 2000 AF Sensor Module.
Of these 11 widely spread AF sensors, 9 are cross-type
sensors positioned in the logical rule-of-thirds array.
All 9 cross-type sensors remain active when using
High-speed Crop mode. The following selection of
operating modes is designed to ensure maximum flexibility and optimum performance in
different shooting situations.
◆ Single-area AF allows you to lock the focus using any one of the 11 AF spot sensors. It
has been tuned for the D2Xs to reduce AF hunting for low-contrast subjects.
◆ Dynamic AF with Focus Tracking and Lock-on follows the subject if it moves from its
original position once a priority focus area is selected, and ensures accurate focusing by
shifting instantly and automatically to the focus area into which the subject has moved.
Options to control he timing of the focus tracking lock-on make it easier to adjust for
shooting different types of scenes and action.
◆ Closest Subject Priority Dynamic AF automatically identifies one or more focus areas as
needed, to capture the subject the AF system determines to be closest to the camera.
◆ Group Dynamic AF combines groups of AF sensor activity into logical patterns. Both
Dynamic AF and Closest Subject options are available and are useful when shooting
moving subjects that remain in a specific area of a framed scene in which a lot of
peripheral action might also be taking place.
