Nikon D2Xs

access to color-coded menus.

11-area AF system with 9 cross-type AF sensors: Updated to perform even faster and with greater precision in the D2Xs, the 11-area AF system employs Nikon’s advanced Multi-CAM 2000 AF Sensor Module. Of these 11 widely spread AF sensors, 9 are cross-type sensors positioned in the logical rule-of-thirds array. All 9 cross-type sensors remain active when using high-speed crop mode.

Broad color mode options: Adobe RGB profile (color mode I and II), as well as the option of the sRGB profile enables photographers to set the best color mode based on their shooting needs. Additionally, a new black and white capture mode is now available.

Image overlay and multiple exposure: The multiple exposure function creates a single image from up to 10 exposures. The D2X also offers an image overlay function that merges selected RAW (NEF) files already stored on the CF card to create a new image file within the camera.

World’s fastest response with a 37ms shutter release time: Instant startup and a class-leading shutter release time lag of a mere 37 milliseconds combined with optimized systems throughout maximizing all-round performance, delivers the response needed to handle even the most challenging professional assignments.

Creative in-camera trimming: A newly added feature, in-camera trimming, allows RAW, TIFF and JPEG images taken using the D2X to be trimmed within the camera producing images of reduced display sizes ranging from 640 x 480 to 2560 x 1920 pixels.

Full integration into Nikon’s Creative Lighting System: When used in combination with SB-800, SB-600 or SB-R200 Speedlights, the D2X supports Nikon’s Creative Lighting System with high-precision flash photography using i-TTL flash control, giving unlimited creativity through Advanced Wireless Lighting and functions such as FV Lock and Auto FP High-Speed Sync.

Lithium-ion battery system with even greater power: The new EN-EL4a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, retains the same form, but features significantly increased capacity that delivers enough power for up to 3,400 shots per charge. The system’s real-time status display gives accurate feedback on the percentage of remaining battery charge, the number of shots taken since the last charge, the overall status of service life as well as notification when calibration is recommended.

Support for Capture NX: Capture NX offers the exciting potential for Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) files, JPEG and TIFF images. Refined through revolutionary U-Point technology, it greatly simplifies the selection of objects, colors and areas supporting highly accurate alterations to a myriad of image elements while also preserving the integrity of the original image data.

GPS support: With the optional MC-35 GPS adapter cord, location information such as latitude, longitude, altitude and heading (direction) can be transferred from a GPS device and then recorded along with the shooting data for each image.

Image authentication to protect the integrity of valuable data: Nikon’s new image authentication function offers image authentication for digital image files. Indication of whether the actual image has been tampered with is provided along with any changes that have been made to date and GPS information. (Additional software is required.)

Wireless support with the Wireless Transmitter WT-2/2A: The D2X supports the new high-speed, IEEE802.11b/g compatible Wireless Transmitter WT-2A with enhanced image transfer protocols and increased security. The WT-2A additionally supports the new PTP/IP protocol. And when used with optional Camera Control Pro software, wireless camera control is possible.
