Indication of Aperture No. However, professionals are usually not enthusiastic about such handicrafts. The latter, however, requires a lens of the D or G series, because only these are able to transmit this information to the camera. This configuration produces flash images with a good balance between flash and ambient light, but with an underexposure of the main subject.
Maybe a future firmware update will solve this problem; in the meantime, you can get help with flash exposure correction on the camera or flash unit. The Nikon D behaves and operates as an analog 35mm camera.
The Nikon D is switched on by the rotating ring around the shutter release. By the way, the release is provided with a thread for the connection of a mechanical cable remote release.
There is hardly a cheaper and easier way to release the camera remotely. Near the shutter-release button is a button for the flash mode and a button for entering exposure compensation. The program selector wheel on the other side of the housing is divided into two parts. One half summarizes the exposure modes P, S, A, M. The other half has positions for the following settings, which are selected with the thumb using the rotary wheel:.
Below the program dial, there is a slide switch for setting the frame rate single frame, continuous, self-timer. While this slide switch is protected against accidental adjustment by a release button, the program selector wheel is not. This is all the more regrettable as the individual positions of the program selector wheel do not engage clearly enough.
It is not uncommon to assume that you are shooting in program mode, for example, when you are actually in aperture priority or another exposure mode.
Below the lens release button on the front of the camera is a switch for setting the AF mode single-frame advance, focus tracking, manual focus. On the back of the camera, there are buttons and dials for the metering mode center-weighted integral, matrix, spot , AE lock, bracketing, flash compensation, LCD screen, and camera menu operation.
Typical for Nikon are the key combinations. For example, pressing the flash-compensation button and the upper LCD illumination button simultaneously and for a long time more than 2 seconds will allow the memory card to be formatted without using the camera menu. If the bracketing button and flash mode button are pressed and held simultaneously for more than two seconds, the camera returns to the factory defaults. Two dials, one on the front of the handle below the shutter release button and one on the back of the camera at thumb position, are used to select the sub-functions or set the exposure parameters.
Unlike compact digital cameras, which have a central shutter, the Nikon D like just about every SLR camera has a focal-plane shutter. Unfortunately, the Nikon D does not support the high-speed or FP flash sync function of some flash units.
If you leave the Nikon D in one of the automatic or semi-automatic exposure modes, you can expect perfectly exposed images in most cases. The 3D matrix cell with 10 individual measuring fields can hardly be misled. However, the Nikon D exposes a little tightly half to a full f-stop.
Due to the intentional underexposure, one makes sure that there are still some details in the lights visible; the remaining parts of the image can be brightened later if needed by means of an image processing program. Otherwise, there is nothing to criticize about the pictures. Both in terms of exposure and noise, resolving power, blooming and color fidelity.
The direct competitors of Canon and Fujifilm and probably Sigma, too are a bit better; however, this is in the barely noticeable range. The camera achieves excellent image quality even at high sensitivities. Up to ISO , image noise is kept very low — thanks to excellent noise reduction algorithms.
From ISO 1. With the function switched on and the power supply connected, the Nikon D raises the mirror and gives access to the CCD or its preceding low-pass filter. With a bellows or a dust brush, you can then get rid of the dust. The images the Nikon D delivers may not appeal to everyone. This is typical for a camera with professional demands, whose developers assume that the images will be post-processed later anyway. For real. On January 11, , Nikon announced it would stop making most of its film camera products:.
This decision will allow Nikon to continue to develop products that match the demands of an increasingly competitive market place. Replacing my Nikon Coolpix with a D was a dream come true. Back in I was still shooting film with my old trusted F4, and having digital fun with a Coolpix The 3.
I knew it was only a matter of time before Nikon would release it's first consumer DSLR, and had decided to buy one long before the D was announced. Needless to say, I ordered mine shortly after the PMA announcement. I was one of the first people to get it, and I was not disappointed. The D was - and still is - capable of producing stunning images, but as many users would soon discover, the camera could take a little getting used to. Being used to oversaturated consumer cameras, or shooting film, some users complained about soft and dull images.
Straight out of the camera, D photos often lacked the visual punch, contrast and saturation seen in the snapshots made with compact consumer models. However, the complaints didn't last long, as people learned to master the new tool. In fact, the D soon became a popular backup camera for many professionals. Many people actually preferred the image quality of the D over the D1X. The D also had a few features that surpassed those found in current pro bodies.
In the summer of , Joe McNally convinced the editors of National Geographic magazine to allow him to shoot an assignment completely digitally. You may also like. Just posted! Full Nikon D Review. Nikon posts D2H firmware v2. Nikon D2Hs. Nikon Face-Priority AF.
