Nikon FX format and renowned NIKKOR lens es: Made for each other • Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED • Exposure: [A] mode, 1/800 second, f/11 • White balance: Auto • Sensitivity: ISO 400 • Picture Control: Standard Your foundation for exceptional images: The 12.1-megapixel Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor Incorporating the same Nikon-original FX-format CMOS imaging sensor developed for the groundbreaking D3, the new Nikon D700 delivers immaculately clean images. Indeed, the combination of the overall precision and light-handling efficiency of this sensor with the legendary performance of NIKKOR interchangeable lenses is integral to the outstanding picture quality shared by these two extraordinary cameras. Nikon engineers understand the importance of transforming light into electrical signals as early in the process as possible, so they conducted a vast number of trials to construct a sophisticated imaging sensor design featuring nanometric precision and absolute minimum loss. This is one of the key reasons that images produced by the D700 don't simply rival the resolution and tonal nuances of film - it's a standard that the D700 clearly exceeds. The large Nikon FX format and 12.1-megapixel resolution are major factors supporting this incomparable image quality. Each pixel has ample space to preserve details - even in shadows and highlights - that lesser cameras find impossible. With this level of quality, you can expect image integrity that goes far beyond the numbers. ©Cherie Steinberg Coté 6 The NIKKOR lens advantage The praise heaped upon NIKKOR interchangeable lenses has been earned legitimately. So prepare yourself for images that exhibit extraordinary sharpness, color, saturation and contrast - from a comprehensive selection of outstanding zoom, super wideangle, wideangle, normal, telephoto and super telephoto NIKKOR lenses. The Nikon FX format enables photographers to once again take advantage of the familiar perspective characteristics of 35mm film photography. And Nikon has painstakingly adapted the specific characteristics of a wide range of NIKKORs, both old and new, to the D700's Nikon FX-format sensor for superb results. The D700 enables you to use a broad spectrum of NIKKOR lenses while retaining the lens' native angle of view. In crop mode, you can broaden the D700's versatility through the use of DX NIKKORs. And up to nine manual focus NIKKORs can be registered to provide even more D700 system compatibility. Lateral chromatic aberration reduction ©Cherie Steinberg Coté With Without Lateral chromatic aberration reduction Color fringes, also known as chromatic aberration, are generated because varying wavelengths of light result in slightly different magnifications. To overcome this unwanted effect, the D700 incorporates Nikon's exclusive lateral chromatic aberration reduction function. Unlike conventional correction methods that merely eliminate the colors of chromatic aberration, Nikon's method compensates for the differences in the resolving index for each color, making it particularly effective for reducing the image distortion at the edges of a frame in addition to improving image quality throughout the entire frame. Moreover, because aberration is corrected regardless of lens type, this feature delivers sharper images whichever NIKKOR you use. Integrated Dust Reduction System Nikon meticulously developed this system, analyzing the characteristics of a myriad of image-degrading particulates so as to fully evaluate performance and reliability in a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. One key component of the system is the Image Sensor Cleaning function, which employs piezoelectric elements to generate vibrations at four specific frequencies to optimize dust removal. Image Sensor Cleaning can be set for automatic activation when the camera is turned on and off, or at any time the photographer feels it's necessary.
