Freeze the action, perfect your composition • Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR • Exposure: [A] mode, 1/1,250 second, f/5 • White balance: Auto • Sensitivity: ISO 320 • Picture Control: Vivid • Dynamic-area AF mode 51-point 3D-Tracking 51-point AF system The strategically positioned 51 AF points of the D700's MultiCAM 3500FX AF sensor module are identical with those of the D3, and keep your subject in focus, even with quick and/or erratic subject movement, across a wide extent of the frame. The result is tack-sharp images and the opportunity to explore a greater variety of compositions. The highly responsive AF sensor detects your subject in EV as low as -1. The 15 points of the three center rows employ cross-type sensors for extrapowerful detection with any NIKKOR lens of f/5.6 or faster, far exceeding the limitations imposed by similar competing systems, contributing further to the Nikon system's broad range of superior performance and versatility. After all, accurate autofocus while tracking a crucial subject isn't a luxury - it's a necessity. Wide area coverage with 51 AF points 15 cross-type sensors perform with any AF NIKKOR f/5.6 or faster lens The MB-D10 is easily attached and detached, and works with EN-EL4/4a*, EN-EL3e, and AA-size batteries. *Battery holder BL-3 is required. ©Douglas Menuez Versatile AF area modes The D700's three AF area modes - Single-point AF, Dynamic-area AF, and Auto-area AF - prepare you for any shooting situation. With good light control and a static subject, Single-point AF ensures that the most important element in your composition, such as the eyes in a character portrait, will be sharply focused. With Dynamic-area AF, you can select from several focusing options, utilizing 9, 21 or all 51 points. Just select a single AF point as your priority, and the areas surrounding it serve as backup - a significant advantage when shooting moving subjects. Select the nine-point option when you want to focus on erratically moving subjects with greater accuracy. When dealing with insufficient contrast for fast focus detection, choosing 21 or 51 points makes detection easier. The 51-point option allows for 3D-Tracking which uses color information from the 1,005-pixel RGB sensor to automatically follow moving subjects across the AF points. Yet unlike other Dynamic-area AF systems, you don't have to manually reposition the AF point to continue tracking the subject, which means you can concentrate more on composition. Auto-area AF also uses color information and special face recognition algorithms to automatically focus on an individual's face, extremely helpful for situations when there's simply no time to select a focus point or when using Live View in Hand-held mode at high or low angles. Single-point AF mode ©Douglas Menuez Dynamic-area AF mode using 9 points ©Douglas Menuez Speed, response, and power at up to 8 frames per second With a startup time of 0.12 seconds and shutter release time lag as short as 40 milliseconds (CIPA standard), the compact, lightweight D700 combines speed, response and power to rival the professional Nikon D3. If it's agility you require, use the D700 in its lightest configuration for a remarkable 5 frames per second. For even greater speed, attach the Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10 to boost shooting to a rapid-fire 8 frames per second* - ideal for sports or other action photography. With the D700 as is, you can shoot as many as 1,000 frames, while adding the MB-D10 enables you to go for a massive 2,900. The MultiPower Battery Pack's contours seamlessly meld with the D700, providing a comfortable grip for vertical composition shooting and a reassuring stability when attached to a tripod or a long, heavy lens. The D700 also supports next-generation UDMA technology, giving you an extra boost of recording speed, and enabling you to shoot more consecutive shots - for never-to-berepeated shooting opportunities. *With EN-EL4/4a and AA-size batteries Dynamic-area AF mode using 21 points ©Douglas Menuez Auto-area AF ©Douglas Menuez With the Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10 attached, the D700 fires at up to an impressive 8 frames per second. ©Douglas Menuez
