Nikon's D600 DSLR Camera body features a full-frame 24.3MP FX-format CMOS sensor in a compact form-factor. That means the D600 is both slimmer thana traditional HDSLR and more budget-friendly. And with a full-sized sensor also comes a powerful engine; the EXPEED 3 processing systemenables features such as 5.5 fps continuous shooting at full resolution. Also, compact as it may be, the D600 still fits in a 3.2" LCD monitor.
The D600 also has other hardy features that allow the camera to stretch for the photographer's needs. Such features include a wide ISO range of100-6400, which is also expandable to 50-25600. This allows shots to be captured in a variety of lighting situations, from low-light to bright,with minimal image noise. The camera also has 39 focus points for wide-area AF coverage for both stills and HD video capture.
Other ways that the D600 enables the photographer to focus on the job at hand include features like Nikon's well-known metering and onboardintelligence. The camera uses the company's intelligent Scene Recognition System with 3D Color Matrix Metering II for beautiful, high-def images.This metering takes into account brightness, contrast, subject distance, and the scene colors for accurate, balanced photos. The i-TTL flash, autowhite balance, subject tracking, and autofocus all come into play as well.
The D600 is an HDSLR, featuring 1080p HD video capture. Selectable frame rates include 30/25/24p at the highest resolution and 30/25/24pat 720p. Other useful features at the photographer's disposal for shooting movies include manual exposure control, full-time AF with face-priority,dedicated inputs for a stereo mic and headphones, Simultaneous Live View, and then some.
The Nikon D600 is compatible with F-mount NIKKOR interchangeable lenses (both FX and DX-format), giving the photographer a wealth of options.Additionally, the camera can be used with Nikon's WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter for wireless transfer of images to a smartphone or tablet. Theadapter can even be used for remotely capturing images with the D600 using the compatible app.
- Compact Full-Frame HDSLR
- Full-frame, high-resolution performance is available in a compact, affordable HDSLR - the D600. The camera's 24.3MP FX-format CMOS sensorcaptures every detail with lifelike sharpness. Its EXPEED 3 processing system manages all that data with speed and accuracy, enabling up to5.5 frames-per-second (fps) continuous shooting at full resolution. The camera also features a fast power-up (0.13 seconds) and minimalshutter release lag (0.052 seconds). And the low-light performance synonymous with Nikon is again proven deserved-shoot crystal clearimages from ISO 100 to 6400, expandable down to 50 and up to 25,600 for extreme situations.
- Highly Accurate AF System for Superior Sharpness
- The D600 has 39 focus points that provide wide-area AF coverage and offer seemingly endless compositional possibilities. The 9 cross-typesensors and 7 center focus points work all the way down to f/8.0 for extended AF functionality with teleconverters and long-reach lenses.When shooting photos or HD video in Live View, Nikon's responsive contrast-detect AF activates for accurate full time auto focusing
- Metering and Onboard Intelligence
- The D600 delivers consistently beautiful still images and HD videos, thanks to Nikon's intelligent Scene Recognition System with 3D ColorMatrix Metering II. Its 2,016 pixel RGB sensor evaluates every scene, taking into account brightness, contrast, subject distance and thescene colors, all within the time it takes to press the shutter release button. That data is then referenced against an onboard imagedatabase for consistently accurate exposures, auto white balance, i-TTL flash and subject-tracking autofocus performance
- Cinema-Quality HD Video Projects
- Shoot 1080p HD videos with selectable frame rates of 30p, 25p or 24p and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression. Bend time with 720p HD at 60p, 50por 30p for ultra-smooth video playback of fast moving subjects, or create slow-motion footage during post processing. Maintain yourcreative vision with manual exposure control, full-time AF with face-priority and subject tracking, dedicated inputs for a stereo mic andheadphones, still image exporting, and much more. Enhance all that with the dramatic perspectives and depth-of-field control of NIKKORinterchangeable lenses
- Movie Live View & Manual Controls
- Before you begin recording you can choose an aperture (in modes A and M only), and you can also choose a Picture Control mode (P, S, A, andM only) or color space. In modes P, S, A, and M, white balance can be set at any time by pressing the WB button and rotating the maincommand dial. In mode M, ISO sensitivity can be set to values between 100 and Hi 2, with shutter speed values between 1/25 sec and 1/4,000sec.
- Live View Count-Down Display
- A countdown will be displayed 30 seconds before live view ends automatically. Depending on shooting conditions, the timer may appearimmediately when movie recording begins. Note that regardless of the amount of recording time available, live view will still endautomatically when the timer expires. Wait for the internal circuits to cool before resuming movie recording.
- Built-In Accessory Terminal
- On the opposite side of the camera's dual memory card bays you'll find the various sockets and ports including everything from audio jacksto USB. Under the flap designated "GPS" is the same accessory port used for both the GP-1A GPS Unit and MC-DC2 Remote Release Cord (bothsold separately). While there is no 10-pin terminal, the MC-DC2 enables remote firing of select D-SLRs, including this D600, so you won'tbump or vibrate the camera when taking photos. The GP-1A geotags your images so you can record latitude, longitude, altitude and timeinformation. Allowing you to plot your images on map software and retrace your steps.
- Share Images Easily with the WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter
- Using the optional WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter, users can automatically send great pictures to their smartphone or tablet and evenremotely capture images from the D600. With its simple app, now when you can't wait to share that great image, you don't have to. Share itto your smartphone or tablet in an instant
