Camera Features:
12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS image sensor lets you capture outstandingly detailed images and produce
stunningly sharp enlargements. Built-in self-cleaning sensor unit minimizes the effect of dust.
EXPEED image processing system for optimum performance and maximum image quality.
High ISO (200-3200) light sensitivity, extendable up to ISO 6400 (equivalent) and down to ISO 100
(equivalent). Enables faster shutter speeds, significantly reducing the risk of blurred images when you shoot
fast-moving subjects or take pictures in low light.
Active D-Lighting retains details in highlights and shadows for stunning images with natural contrast.
It can be activated manually or automatically and features four levels, including Extra High.
Picture Controls let you customize the look and mood of your images. Choose from six settings:
Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Monochrome, Portrait and Landscape.
Scene Recognition System with Face Detection System combines data from the camera’s metering and AF
sensors to deliver precise exposures and sharply-defined images, and recognizes human faces for portraits or
group shots with natural-looking skin tones.
Advanced autofocus performance with versatile Multi-CAM100 11-point AF system offers fast and precise
autofocus coverage across the frame. AF-area modes handle most shooting situations and include 3D-tracking AF,
which lets you adjust the composition of an image after focusing on your subject.
Live View mode with Autofocus makes it easy to compose images using the LCD monitor. Three AF modes are
supported: Face priority AF for portraits (detects up to 5 faces in a frame), Wide area AF for handheld shots
and Normal area AF for shots with a tripod.
Innovative D-Movie function lets you shoot Motion JPEG format movies*. The camera’s large image sensor
(compared to that of a typical consumer camcorder) and high ISO sensitivity offer exceptional image quality.
Bring photographic techniques to movie making using the wide range of NIKKOR interchangeable lenses, from
fisheye to wide-angle to super-telephoto, and even extreme close-up with Micro NIKKOR lenses.
3-inch, 920k-dot, high-resolution LCD monitor with 170-degree viewing angle makes it easy to use the Live View function.
Advanced Scene Modes automatically optimize camera settings, including Picture Controls and active D-Lighting, for
popular photographic styles, effects and locations. Choose from Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports or Night Portrait.
Bright pentaprism viewfinder with 96% frame coverage and 19.5mm eye point for precise composition.
Quick response: with approximately 0.15-second start-up time, 65-millisecond shutter release time lag and 4.5 frames per second**.
Extensive Retouch Menu offering a range of photo effects, including Fisheye, Distortion Control and Straighten. The original i
mage stays intact and the camera quickly and simply creates a duplicate image for you to edit and enhance in the camera.

Wide to telephoto zoom range – perfect for everything from portraits to interiors, architecture and landscapes.
Vibration Reduction stabilization system enables more flexible hand-held shooting and lets you use shutter
speeds that are up to 3 times slower.
SWM (Silent Wave Motor) for fast, whisper-quiet autofocus.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and Aspherical lens elements ensure high resolution and contrast while
minimizing spherical aberration, astigmatism and other forms of distortion.
Textured surface finish to match Nikon’s SLR camera bodies.
70-300VR Lens:
4.3x high-power zoom with a range of 70-300mm. Equivalent to 105-450mm when used with a

switching between autofocus and manual operation.
IF (Internal Focusing) design for fixed lens length and non-rotating front element
allows the use of circular polarizing filters and lens-mounted flash accessories.
VR II offers the equivalent stability of a shutter speed that is 4 stops faster
(as determined by Nikon performance test). Normal Mode counters hand-held vibration
and Active Mode reduces mechanically-induced vibrations.
2 ED glass elements minimize chromatic aberration across the entire zoom range while
ensuring high resolution and contrast.
Focus options - Automatic with manual override and Manual only.
9-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend together smoothly for
natural-looking backgrounds.
