Large, bright 0.94x viewnder
Another important new feature of the D80 is the adoption of the
pentaprism viewfinder from the D200. This new eye-level optical
viewnder features large magnication (0.94x) that helps ensure a
clear view for precise composition. The diopter adjustment control
knob also makes it easier to ne-tune the view to match eyesight. The
viewnderʼs integrated grid display can also be turned on to assist
composition.
Storage media (SD memory card)
The D80 is compatible with SD memory cards. Already widely in use
around the world and available in a variety of capacities, SD memory
cards feature efciency and convenience in a slim, compact design.
Built-in Slideshow functions
Built-in slideshow options for the D80 include Standard or Pictmotion,
which includes style selections that control transitions and background music.
Shows can be enjoyed on the cameraʼs 2.5-inch LCD monitor, or complete
with audio on a television when connected via the supplied AV cable.
Built-in ash with i-TTL ash control
The powerful built-in flash does much more
than fire when natural lighting is inadequate or
effectively add balanced ll ash when there is
strong backlighting. Nikonʼs highly robust i-TTL
ash control evaluates ash exposure with greater precision to achieve
better automatic ash balance and deliver outstanding results. It also
helps realize features such as Repeating ash function for creating
stroboscopic effects and the Modeling Flash, which allows photographers
to visually check for shadows and reective objects and assess overall
lighting prior to shooting. Full support for the Advanced Wireless Lighting
System lets the built-in flash function as a remote commander that
provides direct control to wireless SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlights.
Creative Lighting System Support for enhanced lighting
The D80 works seamlessly with Nikon SB-800, SB-600 and SB-R200
Speedlights, delivering the full benets of i-TTL ash controlʼs advanced
monitor pre-ash, accurate bounce-ash measurement and comprehensive
wireless operation. The SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights also feature a
Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator and Auto Zoom ash coverage.

Greater operating ease with Nikon ergonomics
The D80 packs high performance and high resolution into a body that is
more compact and slimmer than previous Nikon digital SLR cameras.
True to Nikonʼs commitment to intuitive operation, the size, layout
and operation of all buttons and controls are designed for maximum
ease of use.
Large wide-angle 2.5” LCD monitor with improved menus
The D80 features a large new 2.5-inch
230,000-dot high-resolution LCD monitor
that provides an ultra-wide 170
o
viewing angle
from all directions. To accurately
assess sharpness, images can be
easily previewed at up to 25 times
magnication using new dedicated
zoom buttons. A new RGB histogram
display aids in evaluating exposures
with greater precision. Other playback
options include single frame, 4 or
9-image thumbnail display, an improved histogram display and highlight
point display.
Renements to the new menu interface make navigation easier on the
eye, easier to understand and easier to use. The carefully chosen color
scheme helps make the larger font size of menu items remarkably easy
to read. Menus can be customized to display only selected items using
the new “My Menu” set.
Automated Digital Vari-Program and Exposure modes
A selection of 7 Digital Vari-Programs makes creative photography as
simple as rotating the mode dial. Choose from Auto, Portrait, Landscape,
Close Up, Sports, Night Landscape, or Night Portrait and the selected
program automatically optimizes white
balance, sharpening, tone (contrast),
color, saturation and hue settings to
best match the scene. Greater
personal control over camera operation
is provided by the Programmed auto
[P], Shutter-Priority Auto [S], Aperture-
Priority Auto [A] and Manual [M]
exposure modes.
Nikkor Lenses
Lens quality directly inuences the image quality achieved by any SLR
camera. Nikonʼs solid heritage of delivering the nest optics, precision
mechanisms, and optimized performance has long earned Nikkor lenses
the highest praises of photographers. In 2004, total accumulated
production of Nikkor lenses topped 35 million units. The D80 employs
the Nikon F lens mount to ensure seamless compatibility with the
unequalled performance and quality of Nikonʼs full lineup of AF, AF-S
and dedicated DX Nikkor lenses.

18-135mm, the equivalent of 27-202mm in 35mm
[135] format.
AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF
An ideal choice for shooting everything from portraits to sports and wildlife,
