Nikon says it's working on native apps for iOS and Android to let you control the camera with your smartphone, but the camera's web interface has also been tailored to work well on the iPad and iPhone. On the inside, the DSLR is a much larger upgrade. There's a It has a native ISO of up to 12,, higher than was originally rumored, and is expandable to , The camera is faster than ever, too, thanks to Nikon's new Expeed 3 processor — reps said the D4 will boot in.
The Expeed 3 processor also improves autofocus performance, which still has 51 points but can use phase detection in even worse lighting conditions. The RGB metering sensor has been bumped up to 91, pixels, which makes metering far better, particularly on small subjects. Live View and Movie mode autofocus have both been improved as well — which any D3s user knows is not a moment too soon — though it's still contrast-detect autofocus. Video performance in general was clearly high on Nikon's list for the D4's functionality.
The new shooter captures p30, p24, and p60 video, and Nikon has added smooth aperture adjustment as well as three different crops for video, up to 2. There's a new level audio metering system, plus a headphone jack with level adjustment so you can monitor straight from the camera. Apparently Nikon had some processing power to spare, too, because you can stream a full, uncompressed p signal out of the camera through its HDMI port, and view it on the camera simultaneously.
It offers internal focusing, silent motors, and a 7-blade diaphragm. Its minimum focusing distance is surprisingly long, at 2. To learn even more about the Nikon D4, check out our hands-on preview.
However, pre-orders placed before March 24th will remain at the original lower price. In addition to this high level of basic performance, a number of new functions and features were added in response to the needs and demands of professional and advanced amateur photographers, resulting in this next-generation digital-SLR camera that stretches the boundaries of functionality and performance with superior versatility.
Despite the increase in pixel count, the D4 reads out data faster than the D3S. What's more, support for ISO 50 and additional expansion up to ISO is also possible, enabling effective shooting under a variety of lighting conditions without concern for any sacrifice in image quality.
The new EXPEED 3 image-processing engine built into the D4 offers better image quality and even faster processing speeds for vivid yet faithful color reproduction, a broader dynamic range, and rich expression of tones. It also effectively suppresses noise with advanced noise-reduction processing for images captured at high sensitivities under dim lighting, all while preserving definition and sharpness.
Noise-reduction processing designed especially for movies maintains crisp, clear outlines in movies recorded in low-light situations. EXPEED 3 has high-speed processing capabilities for a variety of task, and it uses power effectively, contributing greatly to the camera's power-saving design. The new 91K-pixel approximately 91, pixels RGB sensor recognizes human faces for more frequent focus acquisition on human faces when Auto-area AF AF-area mode is used.
When a human face is detected in the frame, 3D Color Matrix Metering III bases exposure control on the brightness of that face so that the face is optimally exposed even with backlighting. In addition, the high resolution of the metering sensor with its roughly 91, pixels enables extremely precise analysis of the scene for more accurate control over autofocusing, auto exposure, i-TTL flash control, and auto white balance.
The 51 focus point AF system built into the D4 utilizes the new Advanced Multi-CAM FX autofocus sensor module for faster, more accurate autofocusing that performs extremely well under dim lighting. The 15 focus points at the center of the frame are cross-type sensors that detect phase differences both horizontally and vertically. This enables very precise focus acquisition with sports photography and the like when super-telephoto NIKKOR lenses are used with a teleconverter 2.
In addition, adoption of a new algorithm enables faster autofocus initiation for even more certain and sharper capture of defining moments especially necessary when shooting sports scenes. A dedicated movie-record button has been positioned near the shutter-release button for smooth starting and stopping of movie recording with a feel similar to that of still-image shooting.
Full-HD movie recording at a frame size of x and frame rate of 30 fps is supported, and the H. Image sensor sensitivity begins at ISO and can be expanded to the same ISO equivalent possible with still-image shooting. FX-based movie format makes full use of the large image sensor, enabling movies with an emphasis on pleasing blur characteristics.
