Live View further expands shooting opportunities • Lens: PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED • Exposure: [M] mode, 1/8,000 second, f/8 • White balance: Auto • Sensitivity: ISO 800 • Picture Control: Standard ©Cherie Steinberg Coté Live View with high-resolution, 920,000-dot LCD The D700's Live View function further expands versatility in a variety of shooting situations. In studio photography, for example, the D700's LCD shows bright, crisp, beautiful images through a 3-inch, 920,000-dot screen in real time. Because it's so large and clear, you're always aware of what's happening in your composition. The 170-degree wide viewing angle allows you to see what's going on in front of the camera from extremely high or low angles. The D700 offers two modes - Tripod and Hand-held. Sharp contrast AF in tripod mode Tripod Mode is ideal for conditions that demand a precise focus and involve detailed composition, such as studio still life, architecture and landscape photography. In this mode, the high-precision, contrast-detect AF system, using the FX-format CMOS sensor, offers exceptionally accurate focusing from any point in the entire frame - much wider than the 51-AF point area. You can easily rearrange still life subjects while simultaneously confirming your composition, or confirm your focus by enlarging the focus point image 18 Same setting as top photo but without lens shifting up to 13 times - an indispensable feature for macro photography where subtle changes in the subject's position greatly influence the depth of field. You can also control focus and shutter release from a personal computer via Camera Control Pro 2. When used in combination with Nikon's latest PC-E NIKKOR lenses, which incorporate tilt and shift functions, the Live View Tripod Mode further empowers you to pursue your creative instincts. Live View offers two modes - Tripod Mode and Hand-held Mode - accessible through the LCD monitor. Electronic Virtual Horizon The innovative Virtual Horizon provides instant, accurate confirmation of the D700's position relative to horizontal level. When using Live View, you can choose to display the virtual horizon on the LCD, a feature ideal for landscape and architecture photography. You can also level the D700 while looking through the viewfinder using the Exit convenient analog scale. Hand-held mode for low- and high-angle compositions In situations where you're unable to look through the viewfinder, Hand-held Mode can be a tremendous assistance. First, select your focus point from the 51 points available, or use Auto-area AF, then use the wide, 170-degree viewing angle for composing - remarkably easy, even when holding your D700 overhead or close to the ground. Quick access to Live View A simple custom setting allows you to designate the function button for quick access to Live View. One push of the button and you're ready for Live View shooting. - Comprehensive PC-E and Micro lens versatility Joining the D700 are four NIKKOR lenses that give photographers exciting opportunities to develop in new and specialized directions. All of these lenses incorporate a number of exclusive NIKKOR lens technologies, such as Nano Crystal Coat, for achieving stunning images, setting a new standard for effective control of ghost and flare. The three PC-E lenses offer shift and tilt functions as well as the revolving mechanism, and their anti-dust and anti-moisture construction makes them a joy to work with even in severe conditions. The micro NIKKOR employs an internal focusing system for even faster autofocus and better balanced handling. PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED Features Nano Crystal Coat, three ED glass elements, three aspherical lens elements and a closest shooting distance of 0.21 m. PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED Features Nano Crystal Coat, an ED glass element, and a closest shooting distance of 0.253 m.

Supporting both the IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g, it gives you the range to move freely. And to streamline image transfer, you can send just thumbnail images first; then, the complete data of only the editor's selections need be transmitted - a real timesaver. Up to five photographers at a time can use the system, which means that a single unit is able to handle most events. The WT-4/4A is also compatible with a variety of system formats and security protocols. 19
