Autofocus
◆ Like the D80, the D200 is equipped with an
advanced Multi-CAM 1000 AF Sensor
Module offering 11-area AF that ensures
consistently fast and precise focus lock under
varying shooting conditions, all while
adding diverse and effective new focus area
options. However, not only is this system
able to use each of its 11 focus areas
individually, aiding in pinpoint focus on still
subjects, but it can also operate as a 7-wide
area AF system, offering broad coverage
that improves the camera’s ability to acquire
moving subjects and delivers greater
compositional freedom. Lens focus action
is controlled by the latest algorithms, which
further improve system response, focus
precision, as well as subject acquisition
and tracking abilities.
◆ Single Area AF is great for picking a single
subject out of a scene with multiple elements.
Use any one of the 11-area AF or 7 wide-area
AF spot sensors individually to achieve sharp
results, even when your intended subject is
located off center and surrounded by other
objects. Assisting operation with easy
confirmation, the selected area is indicated
within the viewfinder and on the Top
Control Panel if desired.
◆ Dynamic AF used with Continuous servo-AF
mode operation helps maintain precise focus
should the subject move from its original
position – instantly and automatically
shifting the selected focus area to correspond
to the subject’s new location.
◆ Closest Subject Priority Dynamic AF can be
ideal for portraiture in characteristic settings
that include action or complex elements. It
automatically identifies the subject closest to
the camera using the 11 sensors, and enables
composition that captures the entire scene
while keeping the focus emphasis on the
closest subject.
◆ Group Dynamic AF recognizes patterns of
action in the scene and allocates a group of
AF sensors accordingly. Both Dynamic AF
and Closest Subject options are also avail-
able, enabling the capture of specific moving
subjects in a frame that may also contain
peripheral activity. Such broad ranging
focus capability is well suited to composition
situations, such as sports, where the action
can be expected to take place in a particular
part of the frame but at a speed too fast for
focus on a single spot.
Magnesium Alloy Body
◆ With Nikon advanced technologies and
mechanisms housed within a rugged, but
lightweight magnesium body, the D200 is
durable, dependable and ready for the most
rigorous of assignments. And, with an
enhanced sealing system protecting each and
every seam, the D200 body offers reassuring
resistance to causal moisture and dust.
◆ The double-bladed shutter unit has been thoroughly tested to well over 100,000 cycles,
ensuring the highest level of durability and reliability. Employing a refined mirror
balance mechanism that completes its motion cycle and reaches a full stop virtually
without mirror bounce, it promotes maximum stability and speed as well as smoother
AF detection. It also provides the extended viewfinder visibility essential for fast,
accurate focus tracking and continuous shooting.
Wireless Transmission Capability
With the Nikon WT-3A Wireless Transmitter
accessory attached to the D200, you can instantly
transmit images to your LAN computer-access
point using IEEE802.11b/g technology. It enables
cable-free image transfer with the added safety and
versatility of wide-ranging network and security
protocols. Powered by a single EN-EL3e battery and providing additional functionality,
including a vertical shutter release button as well as front and rear command dials, the
WT-3A delivers much more than outstanding wireless technology and performance.
◆ Provides simple operation, setup and
device registration, with support for
up to 9 device profiles with the Setup
Utility software.
◆ IEEE802.11 b/g wireless LAN supports
FTP and PTP-IP protocols with
effective transfer rates up to 10 Mbps
in the ad-hoc mode.
◆ Built-in wired (LAN) 100BASE-T
Ethernet capability with automatic
cable detection offering an effective
transmission rate of 15 Mbps.
◆ Network functions include Transfer,
PC and Print modes, remote
operation via Nikon Capture and
Capture Control Pro software, and
wireless printing with the PD-10
Print Mode adapter.
◆ The built-in antenna provides an
operational range of up to 256 feet.
◆ TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) and AES encryption
provides increased security for file
transmissions.
D200 Doesn’t Have
The D200 doesn’t have a ‘Retouch Menu’ (in-camera D-lighting, Red-Eye reduction, image
trimming, and filter effects. It doesn’t have “My Menu” allowing menus to be customized to
display only selected items. The D200 substitutes this with a ‘Recent Settings’ menu that reflects
the last 14 settings adjusted, offering a quick way to revisit these settings. The D200 offers
automatic flash with manual pop-up via button release. The D80 does the same but adds
automatic pop-up. The D80 records to SD (Secure Digital) memory cards, the D200 records to
Compact Flash cards.
