Uncompromising craftsmanship and optimum in-field efficiency

Understanding the importance of intuitive handling and tough reliability in the field, Nikon designed every button, control and
function for maximum ease of access, intuitive operation, handling efficiency and reliability. Meet the professional digital SLR
solution truly equipped to extend creative freedom and business productivity; the Nikon D2Xs.

Ergonomic design and button layout

The size, layout and operation of each customizable button, control and
function is designed for intuitive operation and feedback, minimizing the need to
remove the eye from the viewfinder while shooting. This combines with instant,
predictable response to free the photographer to concentrate on composition.
Operation remains consistently comfortable for either horizontal or vertical
orientation. The convenient Function button on the front of the body can be
programmed for simpler switching such as in and out of High-speed Crop mode
when using continuous shooting.
The eye-level viewfinder features frame coverage of vir tually 100% and a

19.9mm eyepoint. Information bars along the bottom and right edges display
the current white balance mode, image quality and size settings, ISO setting
and more. Updated for the D2Xs, the viewfinder also features an improved view
within the High-speed Crop mode frame for faster and easier composition.

Valuable feedback from information displays

The D2X s’s new 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD with up to 27x magnification
permits effective evaluation of sharpness, expression and exposure, and quick
confirmation of exposure using the Histogram or RGB Histogram displays.
The color-coded menu displays and large type have been refined for easier
recognition and access. The top and rear control panels are also designed to
convey essential status and settings information at a glance.

Menus that maximize practicality and versatility

Custom Settings menus are grouped according to basic features for fast and
easy access. Up to 4 complete selections of Custom Settings can be stored
in the camera’s memory bank, allowing instant switching to the optimized
selection for the given assignment.
In addition to displaying the last 8 settings made using the Shooting menus
and Custom Settings menus, further evolution of the Recent Settings list adds
the ability to delete the current settings, or lock them to prevent accidental
changes. A new menu option also allows camera settings to be saved to or
loaded from a memory card, making it convenient to share settings between
D2Xs cameras that will be used in similar conditions.
A new feature available from the Shooting menu is the ability to download up
to 3 custom tone curves for a wider range of gamma choice to accommodate
the diverse demands of different assignments.

Magnesium alloy body with enhanced sealing system

Housed in a lightweight yet highly durable magnesium alloy body, the D2Xs is built
to perform reliably under the tough working conditions of professional photographic
assignments. Nikon’s enhanced sealing system protects every possible seam and
exposed part, making the body resistant to dust and drops of water.
A new locking mechanism holds the USB cable’s connector securely and prevents
it from being accidentally pulled out of the USB port.

New

Lithium-ion battery system with even greater power

The new EN-EL4a rechargeable lithium-ion battery retains the same form,
but features significantly increased capacity that delivers enough power for
up to 3,800 shots per charge. It can be recharged at any time or any level,
features extended service life, and per forms well at low temperatures. The
system’s real-time status display gives accurate feedback on the percentage
of remaining battery charge, the number of shots taken since the last charge,
the overall status of ser vice life, as well as notification when calibration is
recommended. The D2Xs can also be powered by EN-EL4 batteries, and EN-EL4a
batteries are compatible with earlier Nikon D2 series cameras.

Proven shutter unit for reliability and speed

Mechanical systems throughout the camera are enhanced to fully support the
speed, precision and durability required by professionals. The double-bladed
shutter unit, refined from the field-proven systems on high-end Nikon SLRs, is
tested to well over 150,000 cycles. It employs a mirror balance mechanism that
completes its motion cycle and reaches a full stop with virtually no mirror bounce,
achieving maximum stability and speed as well as smoother AF detection.

Active quality —

Instant response, pinpoint precision and optimum exposure

Capturing the moment with exceptional image quality demands instant response, high-speed operation, precise focus and accurate
exposure. Ground-up development aimed at satisfying these professional needs continues to evolve in the further refined 11-area
AF system, advanced exposure metering and optimized subsystems of the Nikon D2Xs.

Instant response & ultra-short shutter lag

The D2Xs is designed with instant start-up and optimized systems that maximize
all-round performance for immediate response. As a result, the D2Xs is ready to
shoot whenever a decisive moment may arise.
This performance combines with the industry’s shortest shutter release time
lag of a mere 37 milliseconds to realize high-resolution photography without
compromise.

Fast shutter speeds

Shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/8,000 second can be selected in 1/3, 1/2
or 1 EV steps, with Bulb exposure also available. Flash synchronization is
possible using speeds up to 1/250 second, or up to 1/8,000 second
when using AUTO FP High-Speed Sync with an SB-800, SB-600 or
SB-R200 Speedlight.

High-speed continuous shooting

The D2Xs offers versatility in its selection of continuous shooting speed modes.
Capture 12.4 megapixel files at 5 frames per second for 17 consecutive RAW
(NEF) or 22 JPEG shots. Or, use the exclusive High-speed Crop mode to shoot
at 8 frames per second for 29 consecutive RAW (NEF) or 38 JPEG shots. High­speed Crop mode uses data from the central area of the sensor that results
in a picture angle comparable to that of a 35mm lens with double the focal
length. This provides a useful option when shooting sports, animals or other
fast-moving objects from a distance.

3D-Color Matrix Metering II

To achieve optimum exposure for each shot, Nikon’s acclaimed 1,005-pixel RGB
Exposure/Color Matrix Metering Sensor and advanced algorithms determine
the brightness and size of highlight areas, while at the same time evaluating all
brightness, color, contrast, selected focus area and subject-to-camera distance
information. The results are then referenced against a comprehensive onboard
database of scenes acquired from actual photographs before high-speed
processing calculates the final value to deliver consistent and dependable
automatic exposure.
Refinements to the D2Xs add the availability of 3D-Color Matrix Metering II in
High-speed Crop mode, while also optimizing the areas calculated for using
Center-weighted metering, Spot metering and i-TTL Flash Control.

1,005-pixel RGB Sensor

Modes and controls for optimizing exposure

Modes include [P] Programmed Auto with Flexible Program, [S] Shutter-priority
Auto, [A] Aperture-priority Auto, and [M] Manual. Manual exposure compensation
is available from -5 to +5 EV in 1/3, 1/2 or 1 EV steps.

Manual and Automatic ISO sensitivity control

Sensitivity can be manually set between ISO-equivalent 100 and 800 in increments
of 1/3 EV, or boosted using the HI-0.3, HI-0.5, HI-0.7, HI-1 or HI-2 settings when
high sensitivity is a priority. The 3 settings between 800 and HI-1 are newly added
to give the D2Xs finer control over sensitivity.
Automatic sensitivity adjustment helps achieve optimum exposure while freeing
the photographer to concentrate on composition. Offering greater control over the
range within which AUTO ISO operates, the D2Xs provides settings to specify the
maximum value to which the function can increase sensitivity and the minimum
shutter speed at which AUTO ISO will operate.

High-speed focusing

11-area AF system with 9 cross-type AF sensors

Updated to perform even faster and with greater precision in the D2Xs , the
11-area AF system employs Nikon’s advanced Multi-CAM 2000 AF Sensor
Module. Of these 11 widely spread AF sensors, 9 are cross-type sensors
positioned in the logical rule-of-thirds array. All 9 cross-type sensors remain
active when using High-speed Crop mode.
The following selection of operating modes is designed to ensure maximum
flexibility and optimum performance in different shooting situations.

• Single-area AF allows the photographer to lock the focus using any one of the
11 AF spot sensors. Single-area AF has been tuned for the D2Xs to reduce AF
hunting for low-contrast subjects.

• Dyna mi c AF with Focus Trac king and
Lock-on™ follows the subject if it moves from
its original position once a priority focus area
is selected, and ensures accurate focusing by
shifting instantly and automatically to the focus
area into which the subject has moved. Subject

acquisition and tracking capability are improved for the D2Xs, while new options
for controlling the timing of the focus tracking lock-on make it easier to adjust for
shooting different types of scenes and action.

• Closest Subject Priorit y Dynamic AF automatically identifies one or more
focus areas as needed, to capture the subject the AF system determines to be
closest to the camera.

• Gro up Dy nam ic AF combines groups of AF sensor activity into logical
patterns. Both Dynamic AF and Closest Subject options are available and are
useful when shooting moving subjects that remain in a specific area of a framed
scene in which a lot of peripheral action might also be taking place.

“I need a system that can match any photo opportunity

that arises. I need to know the equipment I have can

capture the moment exactly the way I envision it, and

the D2Xs has the system capabilities to do so.”

The Creative Lighting System

The D2Xs works seamlessly with SB-800, SB-600 and SB-R200 Speedlights,
delivering the full benefits of i-TTL flash control’s advanced monitor pre-flash,
accurate bounce-flash measurement, and comprehensive wireless operation.
The SB-80 0 and SB-600 Speedlights also feature a Wide -Area AF-Assist
Illuminator tailored to the D2Xs’s 11-area Multi-CAM 2000 AF Sensor Module,
as well as Auto Zoom flash coverage.

i-TTL Flash Control

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

• Advanced Wireless Lighting System
Exclusive techn ology does away w ith the need for cables and flash meters to
provide a totally flexible on-location lighting solution. With an SB-800 or SU-800
serving as the Commander, up to 3 remote groups consisting of any number of
SB-800, SB-600 or SB-R200 Speedlights may be freely arranged for total lighting
control. Independent mode settings (i-TTL, AA, A, M, Repeating flash and Flash
canceled) are available for each group as well as on the Commander, along with
full i-TTL control based not only on general output ratios for each group, but also
on the measured subject brightness. As a result, each flash output ratio can be set,
even if a remote unit is repositioned. Flash compensation within each group can

also be adjusted during operation, with settings easily made
and confirmed on the C ommander’s large dot-matrix LCD.
There’s also a choice of 4 frequency channels to minimize the
risk of interference with other photographer’s.

• AUTO FP High-Speed Sync
Speedlights can be automatically fired at shutter speeds up to 1/8,000 second,
providing a dominant fill flash for effective separation of subject and background,

Nikkor lenses and the Creative Lighting System enhance creative possibilities

Tight integration with all components of Nikon’s Total Imaging System assures compatibility across the lineup of Nikkor lenses for
access to the best available optics. Full support for Nikon’s advanced Creative Lighting System removes all limits from creative
lighting options. Flexibility to meet a wide range of needs and true Nikon quality in every image; with the D2Xs.

• Modeling Flash
A 1-second (approx.) stroboscopic burst is fired, enabling the photographer to
visually check for shadows and reflective objects, and to assess overall lighting
prior to shooting.

Accessories

Nikkor lenses

Continuing the tradition of employing the Nikon F lens mount, the D2Xs offers
seamless compatibility with the comprehensive lineup of high-quality AF and
AF-S Nikkor lenses favored by professionals for their superb color, razor-sharp
images and consistently excellent autofocus performance. DX Format digital
SLR photographers also have the benefit of choosing from the growing family
of custom-designed DX Nikkor lenses, which provide wider picture angles,
higher performance, and outstanding center-to-edge-to-corner image quality.
The use of manual Nikkor lenses is also supported.

AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

The world’s first macro lens equipped with SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and
VR II (Vibration Reduction) technologies also includes Nano Crystal Coat, Extra
Low Dispersion (ED) glass and Internal Focusing (IF). Incorporating Nikon VR
technology in a Micro-Nikkor lens improves hand-held close-up photography
by minimizing the effects of came ra shake on picture sharpness, and by
providing a stable viewfinder image for easier composition.

Note: When used with the D2Xs or any DX Format SLR, all AF, AF-S and DX Nikkor lenses have
a picture angle comparable to1.5x that of 35mm [135] format.
