Custom Settings menus
The size, layout and operation of each customizable button, control and
function is designed for intuitive operation and feedback, minimizing the need to
remove the eye from the viewfinder while shooting. This combines with instant,
predictable response to free the photographer to concentrate on composition.
Operation remains consistently comfortable for either horizontal or vertical
orientation. The convenient Function button on the front of the body can be
programmed for simpler switching such as in and out of High-speed Crop mode
when using continuous shooting.
The eye-level viewfinder features frame coverage of virtually 100% and a
19.9mm eyepoint. Information bars along the bottom and right edges display
the current white balance mode, image quality and size settings, ISO setting
and more. Updated for the D2Xs, the viewfinder also features an improved view
within the High-speed Crop mode frame for faster and easier composition.
Ergonomic design and button layout
The D2Xs’s new 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD with up to 27x magnification
permits effective evaluation of sharpness, expression and exposure, and quick
confirmation of exposure using the Histogram or RGB Histogram displays.
The color-coded menu displays and large type have been refined for easier
recognition and access. The top and rear control panels are also designed to
convey essential status and settings information at a glance.
Valuable feedback from information displays
Magnesium alloy body with enhanced sealing system
Housed in a lightweight yet highly durable magnesium alloy body, the D2Xs is built
to perform reliably under the tough working conditions of professional photographic
assignments. Nikon’s enhanced sealing system protects every possible seam and
exposed part, making the body resistant to dust and drops of water.
A new locking mechanism holds the USB cable’s connector securely and prevents
it from being accidentally pulled out of the USB port.
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 3,800 shots* per charge. It can be recharged at any time or any level,
features extended service life, and performs well at low temperatures. 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. The D2Xs can also be powered by EN-EL4 batteries, and EN-EL4a
batteries are compatible with earlier Nikon D2 series cameras.
*Based on Nikon test conditions. See instruction manual for complete details.
Mechanical systems throughout the camera are enhanced to fully support the
speed, precision and durability required by professionals. The double-bladed
shutter unit, refined from the field-proven systems on high-end Nikon SLRs, is
tested to well over 150,000 cycles. It employs a mirror balance mechanism that
completes its motion cycle and reaches a full stop with virtually no mirror bounce,
achieving maximum stability and speed as well as smoother AF detection.
Proven shutter unit for reliability and speed
Smooth control and usability Performance you can trust
Custom Settings menus are grouped according to basic features for fast and
easy access. Up to 4 complete selections of Custom Settings can be stored
in the camera’s memory bank, allowing instant switching to the optimized
selection for the given assignment.
In addition to displaying the last 8 settings made using the Shooting menus
and Custom Settings menus, further evolution of the Recent Settings list adds
the ability to delete the current settings, or lock them to prevent accidental
changes. A new menu option also allows camera settings to be saved to or
loaded from a memory card, making it convenient to share settings between
D2Xs cameras that will be used in similar conditions.
A new feature available from the Shooting menu is the ability to download up
to 3 custom tone curves for a wider range of gamma choice to accommodate
the diverse demands of different assignments.
