EXPEED image processing
Nikon's state-of-the-art EXPEED digital image-processingincorporates remarkable intelligence and technologies accumulatedand optimized throughout our long history. It makes possible adiverse range of functions that ensure superior picture quality andhigh-speed image processing.
Scene Recognition System
Improvements to the exclusive 1,005-pixel RGB light sensor haveallowed information from the sensor to be utilized for autoexposure, auto white balance and autofocus. 3D-Tracking in AF, forexample, achieved by using the Scene Recognition System, trackssubject position and automatically shifts the AF points used tomatch the subject's movement within the frame. This system alsocontributes to higher accuracy of auto exposure and auto whitebalance detection.
Picture Control System
Nikon's Control System enables users, from novices toprofessionals, to create the pictures they envision by makingspecific selections and adjustments to image sharpening, tonecompensation, brightness, tone and saturation. Even with differentcameras, when the settings are the same, you get the same picturetone. Picture Control System offers four fundamental settingoptions – Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome – foreasy customization of image parameters.
Active D-Lighting
Active D-Lighting lets photographers choose from variousintensities – Auto, High, Normal, Low or OFF (Unchanged)– prior to shooting. Instead of employing the conventionalcompensation method of simply expanding dynamic range, localizedtone control technology is utilized to ensure proper contrast andeliminate flat images with lost highlights and shadows.
AF system with high-density 51-point AF
The D700 incorporates a Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor modulefeaturing 51 AF points. Fifteen cross-type sensors located in thecenter enable subject detection with lens apertures as small asf/5.6. The functioning of the AF points is linked to the SceneRecognition System, to deliver superior subject detection and focustracking performance. A single AF point can be selected from the 51or 11 focus points. In Dynamic-area AF mode, you can select fromeither 9, 21 or 51 AF areas. The 51-point option offers 3D-Trackingmode, which automatically shifts the focus point to match thesubject's movements. Auto-area AF mode gives greater priority tothe subject's position when selecting AF points.
Choose from two Live View modes
Live View allows shooting while confirming the subject on the3-inch, 920,000-dot color LCD monitor. In Handheld mode, which letsyou recompose the frame prior to actual shooting, ordinary TTLphase-detection AF is activated, using all 51 AF points including15 cross-type points. Tripod mode is designed for precise focusaccuracy with still subjects and tripod stabilization. It enablesfocal-plane contrast-detect AF on a desired point within a specificarea. Remote view, focusing and shooting can also be controlledfrom a PC (via connection or wireless) using optional Nikon CameraControl Pro 2 software.
DX cropping mode
The Nikon D700 lets you select from either FX format (36 x 24) orDX format (24 x 16). At the default setting of [Auto DX crop], thecamera will automatically select DX format when a DX NIKKOR lens isattached.
High-definition, 3-inch VGA, TFT LCD monitor with wide viewingangle
The ultrahigh-definition [920,000-dot VGA (640 x 480)], 3-inch LCDmonitor with tempered glass provides a 170° viewing angle. Thelarge monitor is remarkably effective when confirming the focuswith enlarged playback images. The wide viewing angle enables easyrecomposing of the frame in Hand-held mode with Live View.
Viewfinder provides 95% frame coverage, 0.72x magnification in FXformat
The viewfinder features an eye-level pentaprism with highrefraction index and provides 95% frame coverage with 0.72xmagnification. Fifty-one AF points and a framing grid aresuperimposed on the finder screen. The eyepoint is 18 mm (at–0.1 m-1), and the diopter can be adjusted within a range of–3 to +1 m-1.
Image Sensor Cleaning
Vibrations at four different resonant frequencies remove dust fromthe optical low-pass filter in front of the image sensor. Thisfunction is automatically activated each time the camera is turnedon and off, and can also be activated on demand by thephotographer.
Built-in flash with wireless commander function
With a guide number of approximately 17/56 (m/ft., ISO 200,20°C/68°F) and 24mm lens coverage, the high-performancebuilt-in flash enables i-TTL flash control that evaluates flashexposure with greater precision for exceptional results. Compatiblewith the Nikon Creative Lighting System, the built-in flashcontrols up to two groups of remote units as a master/commander inAdvanced Wireless Lighting.
Engineered durability
A magnesium alloy is used for the exterior cover, rear body andmirror box to reduce weight and provide rugged durability. O-ringsealing where connections are made gives you valuable protectionagainst dust and moisture. The shutter unit developed andmanufactured by Nikon employs shutter blades made of a new material(a hybrid of carbon fiber and Kevlar). Tested on fully assembledcameras, the D700's shutter unit has been proven through 150,000cycles under demanding conditions. The self-diagnostic shutterconstantly monitors and maintains shutter precision.
