Features a 23.4×15.6 mm CMOS sensor with approximately 14.6 million
effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range.
Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake
reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with
minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type.
Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide
cross area sensors.
Provides high-speed continuous shooting up to a maximum of
approximately 21 frames per second.
Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera,
with a magnification of approximately 0.95 and field of view of
approximately 95%, for easier manual focusing. Also features a
superimpose function in which the AF points on the viewfinder illuminate
red.
Features a large 2.7-inch monitor with approximately 230,000 dots, a
wide viewing angle and brightness and color adjusting function for high-
precision viewing performance.
Features a live view function for shooting while viewing the subject in
real-time on the monitor.
A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the
camera. The large text, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use menus
make the camera easier to operate.
Dials, buttons, body joints, and retractable parts of the camera are
splash and dust resistant.
The CMOS sensor features a special SP coating against dust deposit.
The Dust Removal function also shakes the CMOS for removing
collected dust.
Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG2 with vertical shutter release
button. If a battery (D-LI50) is inserted in both the camera and grip, the
battery with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the best
camera performance for an extended period. A menu item also allows
you to prioritize a battery and use its full power before switching to the
other battery.
Features Custom Image with options such as Fine Sharpness and Filter
Effect. These options allow you to make detailed settings, enabling a
wider range of expression.
Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully
editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in
both formats. Pictures taken in RAW format can be easily processed
internally by the camera.
