Treat every scene with astounding accuracy Scene Recognition System with the Face Detection System First introduced on the D3 and D300 flagship cameras, Nikon's breakthrough Scene Recognition System is also featured in the D90. This unique technology utilizes a 420-pixel RGB sensor to analyze immense amounts of scene and color information in order to understand what the camera is about to shoot. Milliseconds before the shutter is released, the camera optimizes the autofocus, auto exposure, i-TTL control and white balance. The D90 also uses Nikon's new Face Detection System to render human faces with a newfound sharpness and accuracy. D90's Scene Recognition System 420-pixel RGB sensor Image sensor AF AE & i-TTL flash control • Subject identification • Highlight analysis • Composition change detection • Face detection • Face priority AF Auto white balance Playback • Light source identification • Playback zoom of face • Face detection l Improved autofocus performance The D90 demonstrates amazing autofocus accuracy by utilizing color and brightness information from its 420-pixel RGB sensor. When shooting in Auto-area AF mode, the camera quickly focuses on the main subject by detecting foreground, background and subject position. When using 3D-tracking (11 points) mode, the camera uses your subject's color and brightness information to keep it in sharp focus as you change the composition. l Sophisticated auto exposure Nikon's 3D Color Matrix Metering II became one of the most highly acclaimed metering systems by delivering consistently well-balanced exposures - even in lighting conditions that confuse other systems. Further extending its exposure capability, Nikon's Scene Recognition System evaluates each scene's highlights, delivering even more light metering precision. Moreover, the D90 detects faces when using face priority AF, giving you ideal exposures of your human subjects. l Incredibly accurate auto white balance Auto white balance combines with Nikon's Scene Recognition System to analyze each scene's light sources, cross-referencing this information with 5,000 actual picture data examples from over 20,000 images in its onboard white balance database. Even under mixed lighting or difficult light sources like mercury vapor lights, the D90 calculates an ideal white balance for remarkably faithful colors. l Playback zoom Utilizing information from the new Face Detection System, the D90 detects up to ten human faces during playback. Select one face and the D90 zooms in for faster focus confirmation. Versatile, practical 11-point AF system Thanks to Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus module, the D90's 11-point AF system has fast and precise autofocus coverage across the frame with the most sensitive AF sensor operating from the center. In addition, the D90 has versatile AF-area modes to handle most shooting situations: Single-point AF is recommended for stationary subjects, dynamic-area AF for moving subjects, auto-area AF for spontaneous shooting and 3D-tracking (11 points) AF for changing composition after focusing on your subject. 3D-tracking (11 points) maintains sharp focus when changing composition. 8 3D Color Matrix Metering II delivers consistently well-balanced exposures.
