RESPONSE

Fast SLR response that’s always ready to

capture the moment

Instant power-up in just 0.15 seconds, a shutter release time lag of a mere 50 milliseconds, and a shortened viewﬁnder blackout time of just 105 milliseconds combine with optimized subsystems throughout the D200 to provide fast handling — making it ready to respond to a photographer’s instincts. These capabilities better enable the capture of unexpected picture opportunities, and support more conﬁdent subject tracking during continuous shooting, all of which combine to offer more assured photographic control.

New, highly reliable and highly ﬂexible

11-area AF

The D200 is equipped with a newly developed advanced Multi-CAM 1000 AF Sensor Module offering 11-area AF that ensures consistently fast and precise focus lock under varying shooting conditions, all while adding

diverse and effective new focus area options. Not only is this system able to use each of its 11 focus areas individually, aiding in

pinpoint focus on still subjects, but it can also operate as a 7-wide area AF system, offering broad coverage that improves the camera’s ability to acquire moving subjects and delivers greater compositional freedom. Lens focus action is controlled by the latest programming algorithms, which further improve system

11-area AF

7 wide-area AF

response, focus precision, as well as subject acquisition and tracking abilities.

• Single Area AF is great for picking a single

subject out of a scene with multiple elements. Use any one of the 11-area AF or 7 wide-area AF spot sensors individually to achieve sharp results, even when your intended subject is located off center and surrounded by other objects. Assisting operation with easy conﬁrmation, the selected area is indicated within the viewﬁnder and on the Top Control Panel if desired.

•

Dynamic AF

servo-AF mode operation helps maintain precise focus should the subject move from its original position – instantly and automatically shifting the selected focus area to correspond to the subject’s new location.

• Closest Subject Priority Dynamic AF

can be ideal for portraiture in characteristic settings that include action or complex elements. It automatically identiﬁes the subject closest to the camera using the 11 sensors, and enables composition that captures the entire scene while keeping the focus emphasis on the closest subject.

• Group Dynamic AF recognizes patterns

of action in the scene and allocates a group of AF sensors accordingly. Both Dynamic AF and Closest Subject options are also available, enabling the capture of speciﬁc moving subjects in a frame that may also contain peripheral activity. Such broad ranging focus capability is well suited to composition situations, such as sports, where the action can be expected to take place in a particular part of the frame but at a speed too fast for focus on a single spot.

Shutter speed range to cover

every shoot

Shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8,000 second can be selected manually or used in conjunction with automated program modes to provide a range that will match challenging conditions. Additionally, ﬂash-synchronized shutter speeds of up to 1/250 second, and up to 1/8,000 second with Auto FP High Speed Sync, greatly enhance creative exposure ﬂexibility and ﬁll-ﬂash effects.

High-speed data processing

and handling

4-channel data output from the D200’s new DX Format CCD image sensor works with fast image processing to deliver high-speed continuous shooting. These elements also work in conjunction with the high-speed memory buffer and optimized system buses to achieve faster read and write access to CompactFlash™ (CF) cards, while camera-to-computer data transfer takes place via the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface.

Precision exposure metering, broad control over available light, combined with advanced options that expand the creative possibilities

METERING

Variations of light are inﬁnite, so Nikon

provides you with a selection of meters

that enable you to creatively address

virtually any lighting condition.

Advanced Auto-Exposure system

Nikon’s exclusive 3D-Color Matrix Metering II achieves optimum exposure that is able to more precisely determine the position and size of shadow or highlight areas through new technology developed for the Nikon 1,005-pixel RGB Exposure/Color Matrix Metering Sensor. This innovative system evaluates brightness, color, contrast, selected focus area and camera-to-subject

distance information, references the results against the expanded onboard database created from over 30,000 actual photographic scenes, and then calculates the ﬁnal value instantly to deliver consistently dependable exposure, for both automatic and manual operation. This meter is ideally suited for general photography and particularly effective when precious time will not allow you to make manual selections. Nikon’s exclusive 3D-Color Matrix Metering II is unequaled in speed, accuracy and efﬁciency.

• Variable Center-weighted Metering concentrates 75% of sensitivity within the center-weighted circle and the remaining 25% in the surrounding area, enabling more precise results in conditions where lighting differs greatly at the periphery of the shot. This meter is ideally suited for capturing portraits and for high-contrast conditions.

• Spot Metering is an excellent solution when the lighting on your subject is markedly different from that in the rest of the frame. Supporting both the 7 wide-area AF and 11-area AF groups of the new AF system, it provides precise metering by reading a 3mm-diameter area that corresponds to the active AF area, even when using the Dynamic AF modes. This meter is ideally suited for those times when you want more personal control.

Exposure modes

Available exposure modes include [P] Programmed Auto with Flexible Program, [S] Shutter-Priority Auto, [A] Aperture-Priority Auto, and [M] Manual. [P] Auto Multi Program mode automatically sets both shutter speed and aperture, and includes Flexible Program for swift selection of alternate combinations. [S] Shutter-Priority Auto offers shutter speed selection from 1/8,000 to 30 seconds. [A] Aperture-Priority Auto allows free selection from among all aperture settings. [M] Manual gives full control over both shutter speed and aperture.

Broad ISO sensitivity range

The D200 offers a range of sensitivity broad enough to satisfy your needs throughout diverse lighting conditions. Sensitivity can be set manually between ISO 100 and 1600 in increments of 1/3 EV, or increased to HI-1 settings for those special occasions that call for yet higher sensitivity. Automatic sensitivity adjustment is also available, freeing you to concentrate on composition.

Options for Image Optimization

A range of easily accessed optimization options produces images tuned to more closely match your intended results. Optimization of sharpening, tone (contrast), color, saturation and hue with choices from Normal, Softer, Vivid, More vivid, Portrait, Custom and Black-and-white Optimization closely tailors results to the scene at hand or the intended use of the image.

Black-and-white Optimization

White balance control

The ﬂexible options for matching white balance to the light source of the shot include Advanced Auto white balance, which capably handles most situations, white balance bracketing, a choice of manual settings, including direct selection of Kelvin color temperature and selections for speciﬁc lighting situations with ﬁne-tuning (Incandescent, Fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, and Shade), as well as a preset option for using a gray or white object as a white balance reference.

Color mode options

Nikon’s advanced color reproduction system optimizes three color modes to best match the speciﬁc assignment and workﬂow environment. Mode I: renders more natural-looking skin

tones in portraits (Color proﬁle: Adobe RGB or sRGB)

Mode II: realizes a wider color reproduction

range for high-quality output with a wider color gamut (Color proﬁle: Adobe RGB)

Mode III: renders more vivid landscape

colors and greenery (Color proﬁle: Adobe RGB or sRGB)

Multiple exposure

This creative function enables you to create a single image from up to 10 separate exposures within the camera, producing imaginative results.

Image overlay function

Create a composite image in-camera from two selected NEF (RAW) images, taking advantage of precise opacity control for each of the images to achieve your desired result. The original ﬁles remain unaffected, and the composite image produced can be saved in either RAW, JPEG or TIFF format.

GPS (Global Positioning System) support

Connect a GPS unit using the GPS Adapter Cord (MC-35, optionally available), and record data on latitude, longitude, elevation and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) directly to the ﬁle for each image.

Smooth operation and accurate image evaluation with reﬁned mechanisms housed in a rugged, but lightweight body

Large LCD monitor

The new 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD monitor for the D200 provides an ultra-wide 170° viewing angle covering all directions. Assisting accurate sharpness assessment, the LCD offers image previews at up to 400% magniﬁcation, and its RGB histogram display enables greater precision in evaluating exposures.

Easy-to-view displays

A new and larger top LCD panel is designed to convey maximum information at a glance, providing easy access to shooting data that ranges from shooting mode, battery condition, card information, gridline display, shutter speed, F stop and number of remaining shots.

Improved operation and menus

Menu navigation is made easier with a new color-coded menu display that features a carefully chosen color scheme that’s remarkably easy to read, and with instantly intuitive keywords it’s even easier to use. There’s also a Recent Settings list that further smoothes operation by displaying the last 14 settings selected from the shooting and Custom menus. Playback options include single frame, 4 or 9-image thumbnail display, zoom with scroll, histogram indication and highlight point display.

Large viewﬁnder for bright,

comprehensive viewing

The new eye-level optical viewﬁnder developed for the D200 features large magniﬁcation (0.94x) that helps ensure a clear view for precise composition, and built-in diopter adjustment that allows it to be ﬁne-tuned to your eyesight. Furthermore, grids can be displayed without the need to replace the actual screen, adding greater convenience while assisting composition.

RGB Histograms

RGB histogram functions enable convenient exposure conﬁrmation at a glance. Conventional RGB display represents all three color channels simultaneously, while Selectable RGB allows each color channel to be viewed independently – indicating saturated highlights for the chosen channel to assist adjustment decisions for exposure and white balance.

)

Nikon takes a unique approach to the

development of Nikon Digital Imaging

System products by fully integrating

the ﬂow of image creation, from Camera

to NEF to Nikon Capture software. By

ensuring that camera operation and

processing information is faithfully

transported with the NEF ﬁle and made

available for Nikon Capture’s advanced

image processing capability, this

unique integrated system harnesses

the power of the computer to extend the

photographer’s ability to modify and

extend the processing of each NEF ﬁle.

Nikon Capture therefore becomes a tool

with which the photographer can further

reﬁne images, or create alternative

versions of images, without the need to

take multiple shots or employ bracket

exposure and other camera settings.

Nikon Capture is also capable of

high quality image editing for JPEG

and TIFF ﬁles, and accepts Nikon’s

Plug-in System software, including

the creative sets of ﬁlters and effects

of nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 for Nikon

Capture 4. Nikon Capture software also

provides convenient interoperability with

Nikon’s PictureProject software, which is

provided complimentary with each D200.

Note: Nikon Capture 4 (Ver. 4.4) or later is required for working with NEF ﬁles from the D200

The NEF Advantage

NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) is Nikon’s original design for RAW format, developed for versatility and the ability to satisfy the continually changing dynamics of digital photography. Each NEF ﬁle contains not only the RAW image data captured by the camera’s image sensor, but also a thumbnail image and an all-important “Instruction Set” as a permanent record of the camera’s original settings. The embedded Instruction

Set is interpreted through Nikon Capture software to render an idealized image. Optimized versatility makes it possible to freely re-process nearly every one of the ﬁle’s settings – such as, white balance, color balance, tone curves and noise reduction after shooting. The reprocessed image will be saved with the new settings, yet all of the original image data settings will be retained. Return to the original image rendering is just a few clicks away. Additional Instruction Sets can be created and saved separately to produce variations of the same image, or for application to individual ﬁles or collections of images using automated batch processing. A format that pushes photographic potential

while making precious savings in hard disk space, NEF adds versatile innovation to the entire image editing process.

Nikon Capture: Impressive functions that

unlock NEF potential

Nikon Capture unleashes the full power of NEF. Processing and displaying NEF ﬁles using a full 16 bits per color channel, it delivers smoother ﬁdelity for tonal and other color corrections. Enabling reprocessing changes to be saved to the original NEF ﬁle with a new Instruction Set, or as a TIFF or JPEG ﬁle, Nikon Capture and NEF deliver wide-ranging versatility without compromising RAW data*.

* Operates only on NEF (RAW) ﬁles shot using Nikon digital SLR cameras.

• Color Aberration Control can be activated using the Nikon Capture 4 Color Aberration Control Menu. Making excellent use of NEF ﬁle format advantages at the stage of digital processing, it detects the occurrence of color fringing caused by chromatic differences in magniﬁcation and reduces the effect automatically – producing satisfying color alignment in the image periphery.

Area affected

by chromatic aberration

• Red Eye Correction is available for use not only with JPEG and TIFF images, but also with NEF ﬁles – automatically and effectively diminishing the appearance of red pupils that can sometimes result from the use of ﬂash.

• D-Lighting enables photographers to manipulate shadows and highlights while maintaining mid-tones to produce optimized results from images with areas of under- or overexposure. It’s outstanding for correcting exposure for strongly back-lighted images and when ﬂash illumination is not sufﬁciently bright. Choose from D-lighting HQ when quality is the priority, or D-Lighting HS for high-speed results.

Building on the accuracy of the monitor pre-ﬂash, the brighter, shorter i-TTL pre-ﬂash enables more precise evaluation of ﬂash exposure to achieve outstanding results born of better automatic ﬂash balance.

Advanced Wireless Lighting System

Exclusive technology does away with the need for cables and ﬂash meters to provide you with a totally ﬂexible lighting solution. With the built-in Speedlight or an SB-800 or SU-800 serving as the Master controller,

up to 3 remote groups of any number of SB-800, SB-600 or SB-R200 Speedlights can be arranged as you like for total lighting control, with mode settings (i-TTL, AA, A, M, Repeating and Flash cancel) available for each individual group and the Master controller, and full i-TTL control available based not only on general output ratios for each group, but also on subject brightness. As a result, each ﬂash output ratio can be set, even if a remote is repositioned. Flash compensation can also be adjusted on the ﬂy for each group, with settings easily made and conﬁrmed on the Master controller’s large dot matrix LCD. There’s also a choice of 4 frequency channels to minimize the risk of interference with Speedlights of other photographers.

FV (Flash Value) Lock is the ﬂash equivalent of AE Lock, allowing the photographer to change composition while maintaining a desired ﬂash value.

SU-800/SB-R200

Repeating ﬂash function

serves as an excellent advantage for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Modeling Flash ﬁres a one-second (approx.) stroboscopic burst, enabling the photographer to visually check for shadows and reﬂective objects and assess overall lighting prior to shooting.

AUTO FP High-Speed Sync automatically ﬁres at shutter speeds up to 1/8,000 second – providing ample ﬁll ﬂash that achieves effective background blur, even when shooting in bright conditions.

Nikkor lenses

The image quality achieved by any SLR

camera system is directly inﬂuenced

by the quality of the lenses it can

accommodate; and none equal the

performance and quality of Nikon’s AF,

AF-S and dedicated DX Nikkor lenses.

A solid heritage of producing the ﬁnest

optics, precision mechanisms, and

optimized performance has long earned

Nikkor optics the highest praises of

photographers.

AF Nikkor lens

Employing the Nikon F lens mount, the D200 offers seamless compatibility with the broad range of high-quality AF and AF-S Nikkor lenses long favored by professionals around the world for their superb color, razor-sharp images, and consistently excellent autofocus performance.

DX Nikkor lens

Designed expressly for use with Nikon DX Format digital SLR cameras, many DX Nikkor lenses deliver enhanced wide picture angle performance, and outstanding center-to-edge-to-corner image quality, while featuring designs that are both light and compact. DX Nikkors add to a Nikkor

lens assortment of more than 50 superb optics designed to meet the needs of any photographic requirement.

AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G IF-ED The ﬁrst DX Nikkor lens to

feature a high-power zoom (of roughly 11x) handily covers everything from wide-angle to telescopic shots with its focal length range of 18-200mm, (which is equivalent to 27-300mm in 35mm [135] format).
