AF detection up to f/8
D4 aligns its 15 cross-type sensors in the center to detect contrast for both vertical and horizontal lines with lenses f/5.6 or faster.The five central points and three points to the left and right of them in the middle line are compatible with f/8.
Multi-Area Full HD D-Movie Video Recording Modes
FX-format renders exquisitely shallow depth of field and wide-angle shooting. DX-format offers a 1.5x crop of the lens focal length, and1920x1080 Crop format gives you a 2.7x angle of viewideal for extending lens reach when you cant get close enough.
91,000-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering III with Advanced SRS
Face detection using the optical viewfinder and detailed scene analysis using the 91,000-pixel RGB sensor enables superior auto exposure,auto white balance, AF performance and i-TTL flash exposure.
Built-in HDR
Combine two exposures at up to 3EV to create a single image revealing an extremely wide dynamic range but with less noise and richer colorgradation than ever before.
Two-axis Virtual Horizon indicator
Determine if the camera is levelhorizontally or forwardthrough the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
New mirror balancer
Minimizes the bounce of the mirrors down movement, extending viewing time and allowing more time for AF operationone reason D4 achievesAF and focus tracking even during high-speed continuous shooting.
Intelligent power management
Expect greater operating efficiency thanks to a new, small, high-capacity EN-EL 18 rechargeable Li-ion battery that can deliver up toapproximately 2,600 images* per charge.
*Based on CIPA Standard.
View simultaneous Live View output on external monitors and record uncompressed video via HDMI terminal
Check video recording on the cameras LCD and external monitor simultaneously; ideal for focus pullers and camera operators. When thehighest possible image quality is required, you can bypass memory cards and record uncompressed footage directly from the image sensor ontoan external recording device.
Time lapse shooting
Set intervals and frame rates in order to dramatically relay slow-moving activity at dramatic speeds. D4 lets you shoot time-lapsephotography with replay rates from 24 to 36,000 times faster than normal and save them as movie files.
Two Live View shooting modes
Photography Live View and Movie Live View modes add flexibility; exposure, white balance, monitor hue, histogram, focus mode, AF area modeand focusing accuracy are easily confirmed.
Dedicated Nikon Picture Control button
Quickly access six preset picture control optionsStandard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Landscape and Portraitand up to nine customizablesettings with a single button.
400,000-cycle tested shutter
For the utmost reliability and rigorous performance, D4s shutter has been tested on fully assembled cameras for 400,000 cycles at extremecontinuous burst rates.
Self-diagnostic shutter monitor
Should any shutter variance be detected, D4 automatically corrects and adjusts between the actual shutter speed and correct shutter speedto sustain precision shutter operation throughout the mechanisms lifespan.
