Stunning image details: 16.2 effective
megapixels

Whether you want to make large prints
or crop tightly in an image, the D7000
delivers the resolution you need. At its
heart is a DX-format CMOS image sensor
with 16.2 effective megapixels, optimally
engineered to gather more quality light
through sharp NIKKOR lenses. Coupled
with 14-bit A /D conversion (12-bit select­able), the D7000 produces stunning
images that are richer in tone and detail
than previously possible in DX format.
The A/D conversion happens within the
sensor, thereby maintaining exceptional
image integrity without sacrificing shoot­ing speed or energy efficiency. Combine
these with the agile DX format and its sig­nature 1.5x focal length telephoto potential
and you can begin to see where this kind
of shooting power can take you.

Improved image quality and speed:
EXPEED 2 image processing engine

Sometimes you want to capture the subtle
tones of a sunset. Other times you want to
freeze the action. The D7000 delivers both,
thanks to the newest generation of image
processing engine, EXPEED 2, which per­forms multiple tasks with more speed and
power. Expect smoother tonal gradations,
even in difficult shadows and highlights,

for a greater sense of
depth in your images.
Shoot continuously at
approx. 6 frames per
second so you can cap­ture the action you’ve
been missing.

Standard ISO 100 to 6400, expandable
to ISO 25600 equivalent

With improved pixel quality of the image
sensor comes a wider ISO range from the
DX-format — ISO 100 to 6400 has now
become standard with the D7000, enabling
you to handle a wider range of lighting situ­ations: from the bright and sunny outdoors
to low-lit evenings and interiors. Nikon’s
renowned noise reduction technology has
been upgraded even further. Throughout
the range, the D7000 delivers sharp images
with minimized color noise. And thanks to
the higher processing speed, you can keep
shooting continuously without stress, even
when high ISO noise reduction is activated.
Quality high-ISO performance can also
enhance a lot for movie shooting, allowing
you to capture the mood of a scene using
only available light.

Capture full HD 1080p D-Movie with
full-time autofocus and manual exposure

The D7000 welcomes in a new era of
movie capture: Full HD 1080p and movie
editing functions for exceptional cinematic
reproduction and quality. In addition to
smooth-moving images, the camera can
compensate for distortion and other
image-degrading problems. Besides auto
exposure mode, the D7000 offers manual
exposure mode, which locks in the ex­posure value when shooting scenes with
varying contrast levels, such as when
panning from a bright window to a dark
interior. Aside from a built-in monaural
microphone, the D7000 incorporates an
external microphone jack for high-quality
stereo sound recording options.

Improved quality in highlight and
shadow: Active D-Lighting

Nikon’s exclusive Active D-Lighting offers
the ability to preserve details in the high­lights and shadowy areas of images shot
in high-contrast scenes. Whether you’re
dealing with bright skies and a dark fore­ground or deep shadows where you
can’t use a flash, the EXPEED 2 image
processing engine renders those scenes
with smoother tones — even at its highest
settings. Simply select Auto in Active
D-Lighting mode and the camera can adjust
to the scene’s contrast levels or bracket
them into three frames of varying strength
levels. Even when Active D- Lighting is acti­vated, you can
still maintain
the continuous
shooting rate.
