Scene Recognition System: A new level of au to control accuracy • Lens: AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED • Exposure: [A] mode, 1/160 second, f/2.8 • White balance: Auto • Sensitivity: ISO 3200 • Picture Control: Standard ©Douglas Menuez Scene Recognition System Nikon's revolutionary Scene Recognition System redefines the scope, accuracy and performance of Digital SLR automatic control. One way it does this is by expanding the potential of the renowned 1,005-pixel RGB sensor far beyond 3D Color Matrix Metering II and i-TTL flash control, applying information from it to autofocus and auto white balance processes as well, thereby introducing a whole new level of accuracy and performance. The key to this revolutionary technology is a unique optical device that enables more precise color information readouts for an unprecedented level of detailed scene information and analysis. This enables the D700 to know and understand additional and essential elements within the scene you're about to shoot. Each scene is analyzed milliseconds prior to shutter release, further optimizing autofocus, auto exposure, i-TTL control and white balance - before the image is captured. Think of the Scene Recognition System as an artificial-intelligence assistant, working tirelessly alongside you. Precise color information for outstanding AF accuracy The D700's precise color information readouts deliver auto focus subject identification and tracking performance that no other camera maker can imitate. Use any of the Dynamic-area AF modes - 9, 21, or 51 points - and the color information of your main subject guides the D700's AF system to continue tracking your subject, whether it moves toward the camera, away from the camera, or from side to side. Color information is integral to 3D-Tracking, which uses color to constantly follow the subject, switching focus points as needed to allow you to concentrate on ideal composition without worrying about keeping the subject in focus. In Autoarea AF mode, the D700 automatically recognizes people and skin tones, quickly focusing on the most important element - the human face. 12 Highly sophisticated auto and flash exposure results Nikon's 3D Color Matrix Metering II has long been praised by discerning professionals for its superior and consistent accuracy. Indeed, it delivers exposure results faithful to what the photographer actually sees in various lighting situations, such as front, side and back lighting. The system analyzes a host of scene conditions - such as brightness, contrast, selected AF area, color, subject-to-camera distance and even the reflective quality of a scene - then compares these elements with an in-camera database containing information from over 30,000 actual shooting situations for incredible exposure precision. Nikon's unique Scene Recognition System's highlight analysis combined with the D700's image processing gives you images that accurately retain their tones as well as fine details in highlights and shadows. Accurate Auto White Balance, even with a mix of light sources Auto White Balance works together with Nikon's Scene Recognition System to give you so much more. Milliseconds before shutter release, the D700's 1,005-pixel RGB information assists the camera in calculating the in-depth characteristics of the scene, cross-referencing it with 5,000 actual picture data examples among the over 20,000 images stored in the D700's AWB database. This lets you shoot with confidence, even in tricky conditions such as mercury vapor lighting, orange sodium lighting, and mixed light sources that would easily confuse lesser cameras. With the D700, white stays white, yellow appear s as yellow, just the way you see it. The results are astonishing, and immensely satisfying. • Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED • Exposure: [A] mode, 1/60 second, f/8 • White balance: Auto • Sensitivity: ISO 200 • Picture Control: Standard ©Cherie Steinberg Coté Active D-Lighting Off Active D-Lighting On • Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED • Exposure: [A] mode, 1/400 second, f/2.8 • White balance: Color Temperature (5000K) • Sensitivity: ISO 250 • Picture Control: Standard ©Douglas Menuez • Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED • Exposure: [M] mode, 1/30 second, f/2.8 • White balance: Auto • Sensitivity: ISO 3200 • Picture Control: Standard ©Douglas Menuez 13
