36&RELIABILITY Approx.100% optical viewfinder, 8-cm (3.2-in.) color-rich LCD, magnesium alloy body, dual card slots Megapixels VISION YOU CAN DEPEND ON Glass prism optical viewfinder with approximately 100% frame coverage See every important element in your frame clearly and precisely. The D800 offers approx. 100% frame coverage (in FX format) from its slim pentaprism, giving you the visually comfortable FX-format advantage and an unobstructed view when shooting still images. The viewfinder image is not only large and bright - the focusing screen is also carefully designed to help you sense sharp focus intuitively, be it manual or autofocus. Precision 8-cm (3.2-in.), approx. 921k-dot, wide-viewing-angle LCD monitor with automatic monitor brightness control The D800's large and sharp color LCD monitor delivers bright, crisp image playback with a much larger capacity for accurate color reproduction. Using an antireflective structure, you can count on clarity equal to that of the D4, even under bright conditions. Moreover, if monitor brightness is set to "Auto", the camera automatically adjusts LCD brightness according to the environmental lighting conditions measured by the ambient brightness sensor, allowing easy use of live view in both bright and low-lit places - very useful when shooting video and stills. The ability to magnify playback images up to 46x (Large-size images in FX format) is extremely helpful for spot focus confirmation. LCD monitor with an integrated structure of glass and panel realizes a clearer image Glass Air space Panel Conventional models Air space between glass and panel causes reflections at the surfaces of each part, resulting in some light loss. Glass Resin Panel D800 Surface reflection is reduced and light loss greatly decreased by the integrated structure of glass and panel. Ambient brightness sensor ©Jim Brandenburg READY FOR DEMANDING TASKS Lightweight yet durable construction Many important parts of the D800 have been designed to achieve better durability and lighter weight. The result is a camera approx. 10% lighter than the D700, yet just as rugged. A magnesium alloy construction protects the sophisticated technologies against accidental shock, and weather and dust sealing has been extensively applied and severely tested, making the D800 as reliable on the road as it is in the studio. 18 Fast response time The D800 is designed to respond immediately. Once the strategically located switch is turned on, the camera starts up in approx. 0.12 seconds* and your finger is in position for shutter release. Release time lag is minimized to approx. 0.042 seconds*, equivalent to that of the D3S, with continuous approx. 4 fps capability in FX format, approx. 5 fps in 1.2x and DX format and approx. 6 fps capability in DX format** with MB-D12. *Based on CIPA Guidelines. **When used together with batteries other than EN-EL15. High-speed CF and SD dual card slots Card recording speed is yet another crucial element of a smooth and productive shooting experience. The D800 CF memory card slot is compatible with the latest UDMA 7. The SD card slot is compatible with SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) and UHS-I. You can also use two cards simultaneously for a number of functions, such as recording JPEG and RAW data on separate cards, recording the same data simultaneously on two cards for backup and more. High-speed data transfer with USB 3.0 For a more productive tethered and transfer workflow, the D800 is compatible with USB 3.0. When connected to equipment featuring USB 2.0, speed is reduced to that of USB 2.0. High-precision, high-durability shutter The D800's shutter unit has been tested to well over 200,000 cycles of release to prove durability and precision. While the shutter unit designed to run at a speed range of 1/8,000 to 30 s, its intelligent self-diagnostic shutter monitor automatically monitors actual shutter speeds in order to correct possible variances that can occur over time. High-precision sequential control mechanism For true digital SLR excellence, the camera's mechanical structure, power and precision are vital to ensure indispensable speed and reliability. That's why Nikon utilized its engineering expertise to refine the powerful sequential control mechanism that drives the shutter, mirror, and aperture independently. As a result, shutter release can be operated with mirror-up position during live view. Because mirror-down movement is not required, you can expect even quieter still live view shooting. And as power aperture control operates via the stepping motor, the sound of mechanical adjustment is reduced for quieter and smoother control. Efficient power management A comprehensive re-working of the D800's circuits now enables approx. 900 shots* of still image shooting. All on one charge of an EN-EL15 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery. *Based on CIPA Standards. MB-D12 Multi-Power Battery Pack (optional) Attach the MB-D12 to the camera body to extend battery stamina. The pack accommodates a variety of batteries (see specifications) and utilizes the same integral magnesium alloy construction and weather sealing as the D800 body itself. You also get approx. 6 fps continuous shooting speed* in DX format. The MB-D12 has its own dedicated shutter-release button and command dials for vertical composition shooting. *When using batteries other than EN-EL15 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery. 19
