Nikon launches D600 digital SLR camera .[Press Release]

 

The Multi-area mode Full-HD D-Movie function offers two movie formats², the FX-based movie format or the DX-based movie format to record full-HD 1920 × 1080/30p (both FX- and DX lenses can be used).  The FX-based movie format makes full use of the large image sensor and offers a shallow depth-of-field with an emphasis on blur characteristics while the DX-based movie format is optimal for recording movies and bringing subjects closer when lenses with short focal lengths are used.

 

The D600 is also equipped with a headphone jack so that headphones may be used to check sound, and movies can be viewed simultaneously in the camera’s monitor and in an external monitor via the movie live view display. .  Uncompressed movie data can also be output to an external recorder via the built-in HDMI interface, and the time-lapse photography function can be used to automatically photograph relatively slow moving action, such as th

e blooming of a flower and the passing of clouds, at specified intervals.  The camera then combines the photos and records them as a silent time-lapse movie.

 

¹Maximum length is 20 minutes with some frame size/rate and movie quality settings.

²Movies are recorded with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 regardless of the format selected.
