Before Using Your Camera 14 u Camera Characteristics • Features a 23.4×15.6 mm CMOS sensor with approximately 14.6 million effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range. 1 • Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type. • Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide cross area sensors. • Provides high-speed continuous shooting up to a maximum of approximately 21 frames per second. • Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera, with a magnification of approximately 0.95 and field of view of approximately 95%, for easier manual focusing. Also features a superimpose function in which the AF points on the viewfinder illuminate red. • Features a large 2.7-inch monitor with approximately 230,000 dots, a wide viewing angle and brightness and color adjusting function for highprecision viewing performance. • Features a live view function for shooting while viewing the subject in real-time on the monitor. • A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the camera. The large text, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use menus make the camera easier to operate. • Dials, buttons, body joints, and retractable parts of the camera are splash and dust resistant. • The CMOS sensor features a special SP coating against dust deposit. The Dust Removal function also shakes the CMOS for removing collected dust. • Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG2 with vertical shutter release button. If a battery (D-LI50) is inserted in both the camera and grip, the battery with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the best camera performance for an extended period. A menu item also allows you to prioritize a battery and use its full power before switching to the other battery. • Features Custom Image with options such as Fine Sharpness and Filter Effect. These options allow you to make detailed settings, enabling a wider range of expression. • Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in both formats. Pictures taken in RAW format can be easily processed internally by the camera.
