PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO
2.5˝ LCD Monitor
◆ 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. With up to 27x magnification,
the LCD permits effective evaluation of
sharpness, expression and exposure, and
quick confirmation of exposure using the
Histogram or RGB Histogram displays.
◆ Color-coded menu displays and large type
for easy recognition and access.
◆ In addition, there are top and rear control
panels also designed to convey essential
status and settings information at a glance.
Custom Settings Menus
◆ Custom Settings menus are grouped
according to basic features for fast and
easy access. Up to 4 complete selections
of Custom Settings can be stored in the
camera’s memory bank, allowing instant
switching to the optimized selection for the
given assignment.
◆ In addition to displaying the last 8 settings
made using the Shooting and Custom
Settings menus, the Recent Settings list adds
the ability to delete the current settings, or
lock them to prevent accidental changes.
Another menu option also allows camera
settings to be saved to or loaded from a
memory card, making it convenient to share
settings between D2Xs cameras that will be
used in similar conditions.
◆ Available from the Shooting menu is the
ability to download up to 3 custom tone
curves for a wider range of gamma choice to
accommodate the diverse demands of
different assignments. Menus that maximize
practicality and versatility.
Extended Abilities
◆ RAW, TIFF and JPEG images an be trimmed
within the camera to produce reduced
display sizes ranging from 640 x 480 to 2560
x 1920 pixels. The smaller files help improve
workflow efficiency by eliminating the time
required to download and perform software
editing within a computer.
◆ Connect a compatible GPS unit using the
optional MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord and
record data on latitude, longitude, elevation
and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
directly to the file for each image.
Image Authentication
The D2xs features a unique Image Authentication feature that, when used with Nikon’s Image
Authentication Software, marks the authentication of an image captured by the camera and
can determine whether or not it has been altered since capture. Image data is a critical link in
the “chain of evidence” for verifying image authenticity, and D2xs’s hardware and software-
based solution allows easy, secure authentication of images for a wide range of requirements.
Durable and Reliable
◆ Housed in a lightweight yet highly durable magnesium alloy body, the D2Xs is built to
perform reliably under the tough working conditions of professional photographic
assignments. Nikon’s enhanced sealing system protects every possible seam and exposed
part, making the body resistant to dust and drops of water. A new locking mechanism
holds the USB cable’s connector securely and prevents it from being accidentally pulled out
of the USB port.
◆ Mechanical systems throughout the camera are enhanced to fully support the speed,
precision and durability required by professionals. The double-bladed shutter unit, refined
from the field-proven systems on high-end Nikon SLRs, is tested to well over 150,000 cycles.
It employs a mirror balance mechanism that completes its motion cycle and reaches a full
stop with virtually no mirror bounce, achieving maximum stability and speed as well as
smoother AF detection.
Lithium-ion Battery System
The EN-EL4a rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers power
for up to 3,800 shots per charge. It can be recharged at any time
or any level, features extended service life, and performs well
at low temperatures The system’s real-time status display gives
accurate feedback on the percentage of remaining battery
charge, the number of shots taken since the last charge, the
overall status of service life, as well as notification when calibration is recommended.
Optional Wireless Transmission
The Wireless Transmitter WT-2/2A supports IEEE
802.11g for maximizing transfer speeds while
maintaining backward compatibility with IEEE
802.11b. It may be configured for a wide variety
of network and security protocols, and also enables
wireless control of the camera from a computer
via the Camera Control Pro software option.
Versatile operation means that it is possible to
automatically transfer each image as it is shot, or
manually select images for transfer. The transfer
proceeds invisibly as normal camera operation continues and it is automatically retried if
disrupted. Files may be automatically erased from the CompactFlash memory card once
successfully transferred.
