Nikon launches D600 digital SLR camera .[Press Release]

 

  1. 2.    The EXPEED 3 image-processing engine, optimised for the D600, offers superior and high-speed processing

The D600 is equipped with the same EXPEED 3 high-speed image-processing engine built into the D4, D800, and D800E Nikon FX-format cameras.  The EXPEED 3 image-processing engine has been optimised for digital SLR cameras to offer faster and better performance for rendering, vivid color reproduction, and capturing a broad dynamic range. It also effectively reduces noise for still images captured at high sensitivities under dim lighting, while preserving definition and sharpness.  Special noise-reduction was designed to maintain crisp, clear outlines in movies recorded in low-light situations.

 

  1. 3.    Excellent camera performance and operational comfort

The Multi-CAM4800 autofocus sensor tracks the intended subject with 39 focus points.  Cross-type sensors have been adopted for the nine most frequently used focus points at the center of the frame.  In addition, seven focus points (5 horizontal focus points and 1 above and below the center of the frame) are fully functional at f/8. This delivers more precise autofocusing when super-telephoto NIKKOR lenses are used with a teleconverter (2.0×).

 

What’s more, the precise Scene Recognition System analyzes detailed scene brightness and colour information acquired from the 2,016-pixel RGB sensor, and applies that information to autofocus, automatic exposure, i-TTL balanced fill-flash, and white balance control.

 

The D600 is also equipped with a high-magnification optical viewfinder that supports an approx. 100% frame coverage in FX format and a magnification of approximately 0.7×.  The 3.2-inch, approximately 921k-dot monitor with wide angle viewing is equipped with a sensor that automatically controls brightness and contrast according to ambient lighting conditions to ensure clear viewing.  Dual SD memory card slots (SDXC, UHS-I* compliant) enable smoother still-image and movie recording.

  1. 4.    Full-HD movie recording at 1920 x 1080/30p and Multi-area mode movie recording available in two formats

By simply pressing the movie-record button next to the shutter-release in the movie live view mode, users can enjoy video recording that optimises the camera’s 24.3-million effective pixels.  Not only does the D600 support full-HD movie recording at 1920 × 1080/30p, but the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression standard ensures that superior picture quality is maintained while data is compressed to record a single movie for up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds1.
