@ Calculating Angle of View

The size of the area exposed by a 35 mm camera is 36 x 24 mm. The size of the area exposed by the D7000, in contrast, is 23.6 x 15.6 mm, meaning that the angle of view of a 35mm camera is approximately 1.5 times that of the D7000. The approximate focal length of lenses for the D7000 in 35 mm format can be calculated by multiplying the focal length of the lens by about 1.5.

Picture size (35mm format)

274

Optional Flash Units (Speedlights)

The camera supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) and can be used with CLS-compatible flash units. Optional flash units can be attached directly to the camera accessory shoe as described below. The accessory shoe is equipped with a safety lock for flash units with a locking pin, such as the SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SB-400.

1 Remove the accessory shoe cover.

2 Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe.

See the manual provided with the flash unit for details. The built-in flash will not fire when an optional flash unit is attached.

@ The AS-15 Sync Terminal Adapter

When the AS-15 sync terminal adapter (available separately) is mounted on the camera accessory shoe, flash accessories can be connected via a sync terminal.

C Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories

Use only Nikon flash units. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory

shoe could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon flash unit not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.

275

The Nikon Creative Lighting System (CIS)

Nikon's advanced Creative Lighting System (CLS) offers improved communication between the camera and compatible flash units for improved flash photography.

II CLS-Compatible Flash Units

The camera can be used with the following CLS-compatIble flash units:

. The SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, SB-400, and SB-R200:

SB-700 flash unit or SU-800 wireless Speedlight commander.

3 m/ft., 20 °C (68 °F), SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, and SB-600 at 35 mm zoom head position; SB-900 and

SB-700 with standard illumination.

• The SU-800 wireless speedlight commander: When mounted on a CLS-compatIble

camera, the SU-800 can be used as a commander for remote SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, or SB-R200 flash units in up to three groups. The SU-800 itself is not equipped with a flash.

@ Guide Number

To calculate the range of the flash at full power, divide the Guide Number by the aperture. For example, at ISO 100 the SB-800 has a Guide Number of 38 m or 125 ft. (35 mm zoom head position); its range at an aperture of f/5.6 is 383-5.6 or about 6.8 meters (or in feet,

1253-5.6=approximately 23 ft. 7 in.). For each twofold increase in ISO sensitivity, multiply

the Guide Number by the square root of two (approximately 1.4).

Notes on Optional Flash Units

Refer to the Speedlight manual for detailed instructions. If the flash unit supports CIS, refer

to the section on CLS-compatible digital SLR cameras. The D7000 is not included in the "digital SLR" category in the SB-80DX, SB-28DX, and SB-50DX manuals.

If an optional flash unit is attached in shooting modes other than ®, the flash will fire with every shot, even in modes in which the built-in flash can not be used.

i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 100 and 6400. At values over 6400, the desired results may not be achieved at some ranges or aperture settings. If the flash-ready indicator blinks for about three seconds after a photograph is taken, the flash has fired at full power and the photograph may be underexposed.

When an SC-series 17,28, or 29 sync cable is used for off-camera flash photography, correct

exposure may not be achieved in i-TTL mode. We recommend that you choose spot

metering to select standard i-TTL flash control. Take a test shot and view the results in the

monitor.

In i-TTL, use the flash panel or bounce adapter provided with the flash unit. Do not use other

panels such as diffusion panels, as this may produce incorrect exposure. The SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SB-400 provide red-eye reduction, while the SB-900,

SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SU-800 provide AF-assist illumination with the following

restrictions:

• SB-900: AF-assist illumination is available for all

focus points; with 17-135 mm AF lenses,

however, autofocus is available only with the focus points shown at right (if other focus points are selected, the AF-assist illuminator may not

provide sufficient illumination for autofocus).

. SB-800, SB-600, and SU-800: With 24-105 mmAF

lenses, AF-assist illumination is available only with the focus points shown at right.

• SB-700: AF-assist illumination is available for all

focus points; with 24-135 mm AF lenses,

however, autofocus is available only with the focus points shown at right (if other focus points are selected, the AF-assist illuminator may not

provide sufficient illumination for autofocus).

The photographs on the camera memory card can be viewed by computers on the same network or copied to a computer for long-term storage (be sure to always use the latest version of the software supplied with the WT-4). The camera can also be controlled from any computer on the network using Camera Control Pro 2 (available separately). Note that the WT-4 requires an independent power source; an EH-6 AC adapter or EN-EL3e battery is

recommended. See the WT-4 manual for details. Filters intended for special-effects photography may interfere with autofocus or

the electronic rangefinder. The D7000 can not be used with linear polarizing filters. Use C-PL or C-PLII circular polarizing filters instead.

NC filters are recommended for protecting the lens.

To prevent ghosting, use of a filter is not recommended when the subject is framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame. Center-weighted metering is recommended with filters with exposure factors (filter factors) over 1 x (Y44, Y48, YS2, 056, R60, XO, XI, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S,

ND8, ND8S, ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12). See the filter manual for details.

matter inside the camera may cause damage not covered under warranty.

These glass elements are easily damaged. Remove dust and lint with a blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and clean with care.

Remove dustand lintwitha blower. When removing fingerprints and other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this could result in damage or malfunction.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Servicing the Camera and Accessories

The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon recommends that the

camera be inspected by the original retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative once

every one to two years, and that it be serviced once every three to five years (note that fees apply to these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accessories regularly used with the camera, such as

lenses or optional Speedlights, should be included when the camera is inspected or

serviced.

283

The Low-Pass Filter

1 \ /

287

@ Use a Reliable Power Source

The shutter curtain is delicate and easily damaged. If the camera powers off while the mirror

is raised, the curtain will close automatically. To prevent damage to the curtain, observe the following precautions:

• Do not turn the camera off or remove or disconnect the power source while the mirror is

raised.

• If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep will sound and the self-timer lamp will blink to warn that the shutter curtain will close and the mirror will be lowered after about two minutes. End cleaning or inspection immediately.

C Foreign Matter on the Low-Pass Filter

Nikon takes every possible precaution to prevent foreign matter from coming into contact with the low-pass filter during production and shipping. The D7000, however, is designed to be used with interchangeable lenses, and foreign matter may enter the camera when lenses are removed or exchanged. Once inside the camera, this foreign matter may adhere to the low-pass filter, where it may appear in photographs taken under certain conditions. To protect the camera when no lens is in place, be sure to replace the body cap provided with the camera, being careful to first remove all dust and other foreign matter that may be adhering to the body cap. Avoid exchanging lenses in dusty environments.

Should foreign matter find its way onto the low-pass filter, clean the filter as described above, or have the filter cleaned by authorized Nikon service personnel. Photographs affected by the presence of foreign matter on the filter can be retouched using Capture NX 2 (available separately; CQ 281) or the clean image options available in some third-party imaging applications.

288

Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions

Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.

Keepdry:This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes in temperature, such as those that occur

when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Keep away from strong magnetic fields: Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment

that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the

monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the product's internal circuitry.

Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun: Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or other strong light

source for an extended period. Intense light may cause the image sensor to deteriorate or

produce a white blur effect in photographs.

Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source: Do not unplug the product or

remove the battery while the product is on or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid

carrying the product from one location to another while the AC adapter is connected.

Cleaning: Keep the lens contacts clean. When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently

remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in pure water and

then dry the camera thoroughly. In rare instances, static electricity may cause LCDs to light up or go dark. This does not indicate a malfunction, and the display will soon return to normal.

The lens and mirror are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with a blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains from the lens, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.

See "The Low-Pass Filter" (CQ 284,286) for information on cleaning the low-pass filter.

Do not touch the shutter curtain: The shutter curtain is extremely thin and easily damaged. Under

no circumstances should you exert pressure on the curtain, poke it with cleaning tools, or

subject it to powerful air currents from a blower. These actions could scratch, deform, or tear the curtain.

289

Storage: To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If you are

using an AC adapter, unplug the adapter to prevent fire. If the product will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not, however, store the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb

moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals. To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the

camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting it away. Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Replace the terminal cover before putting the battery

away.

Notes on the monitor: The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light.

This is common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded with the product are unaffected.

Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.

Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or lint on the monitor can be removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.

Replace the monitor cover when transporting the camera or leaving it unattended.

Batteries: Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following

precautions when handling batteries:

• Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment.

• Do not expose the battery to flame or excessive heat.

• Keep the battery terminals clean.

• Turn the product off before replacing the battery.

• Remove the battery from the camera or charger when not in use and replace the terminal

cover. These devices draw minute amounts of charge even when off and could draw the battery down to the point that it will no longer function. If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing it and storing it in a location with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25 °C (59 to 77 °F; avoid hot or extremely cold locations). Repeat this process at least once every six months.

• The internal temperature of the battery may rise while the battery is in use. Attempting to

charge the battery while the internal temperature is elevated will impair battery performance, and the battery may not charge or charge only partially. Wait for the battery

to cool before charging.

• Continuing to charge the battery after it is fully charged can impair battery performance.

• A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge when used at room

temperature indicates that it requires replacement. Purchase a new EN-EL15 battery.

290

Charge the battery before use. When taking photographs on important occasions, ready a spare EN-EL15 battery and keep it fuiiy charged. Depending on your iocation, it may be difficuit to purchase repiacement batteries on short notice. Note that on coid days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fuiiy charged before taking photographs outside in coid weather. Keep a spare battery in a warm piace and exchange the two as necessary. Once warmed, a coid battery may recover some of its charge.

Used batteries are a vaiuabie resource; recycie in accord with iocai reguiations.

aperture of f/16 (e.g., AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G)

Shutter speed (seconds)

The maximum and minimum values for EV vary with ISO sensitivity; the above graph assumes an ISO sensitivity of ISO 100 equivalent. When matrix metering is used, values over 1 6Vb EV are reduced to 1 6Vb EV.

Troubleshooting

If the camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative.

Display

Viewfinder is out of focus: Adjust viewfinder focus or use optional eyepiece correction lenses

(□34,281).

Viewfinder is dark: Insert a fully-charged battery (□ 21,35). Displays turn off without warning: Choose longer delays for Custom Setting c2 (Auto meter-off

delay) or c4 (Monitor off delay) (uu 214,215). Camera does not respond to controls: See "A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras," below. Control panel and viewfinder displays are unresponsive and dim: The response times and brightness of

these displays vary with temperature.

Fine lines are visible around active focus point or display turns red when focus point is highlighted: These

phenomena are normal for this type of viewfinder and do not indicate a malfunction.

@ A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control panel and the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery, taking care to

avoid burns, and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available

separately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again. If the problem persists, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative.

II TheAF-SDXNIKKOR 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6GED VR

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is for use exclusively with Nikon DX format digital cameras. Superior optical performance and image rendering are ensured by the use of aspherical lens elements and elements made using extra-low dispersion (ED) glass to correct chromatic aberration. A rounded aperture produces soft, esthetically-pleasing blurring of point light sources in out-of-focus areas of the

image (bokeh). If the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, vibration reduction

will not be activated when the AF-ON button is pressed.

M Using the Built-in Flash

When using the built-in flash, be sure the subject is at a range of at least 0.6 m (2 ft.) and remove lens hoods to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the built-in flash).

Camera Zoom position Minimum distance without vignetting

D700, D7000, D300 series,

D200,D100, D80

D90, D70 series

D50

D60, D40 series

Because the built-in flash units for the D100 and D70 can only cover the angle of view of a lens with a focal of 20 mm or more; vignetting will occur at a focal length of 18 mm.

C Lens Care

• Keep the CPU contacts clean.

• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.

• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.

• The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens element.

• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch.

• When a lens hood is attached, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the hood.

• If the lens will not be used foran extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

• Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.

• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.

@ A Note on Wide-Angle Lenses

Autofocus may not provide the desired results with wide- and super-wide-angle lenses in the following situations:

1 The subject does not fill the focus point.

If the subject does not fill the focus point, the camera | ^ may focus on the background and the subject may be ' out of focus.

_________

Example; A far-off portrait subject at

some distance from the

background

2 The subject contains many fine details.

The camera may have difficulty focusing on subjects that contain many fine details or that are lacking in contrast.

Example; A field of flowers

In these cases, use manual focus, or use focus lock to focus on another subject at

the same distance and then recompose the photograph. For more information, see

"Getting Good Results with Autofocus" (□ 93).

II Supported Standards

• DCF Version 2.0: The Design Rule for Camera File Systems (DCF) is a standard widely

used in the digital camera industry to ensure compatibility among different makes of camera.

• DPOF: Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-wide standard that allows

pictures to be printed from print orders stored on the memory card.

• Exifversion2.3:The D7000 supports Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format for Digital

Still Cameras) version 2.3, a standard in which information stored with photographs is used for optimal color reproduction when the images are output on Exif-compliant printers.

• PictBridge: A standard developed through cooperation with the digital camera and

printer industries, allowing photographs to be output directly to a printer without first transferring them to a computer.

• HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface is a standard for multimedia interfaces

used in consumer electronics and AV devices capable of transmitting audiovisual data and control signals to HDMI-compliant devices via a single cable connection.

Battery Life

The number of shots that can be taken with fully-charged batteries varies with the condition of the battery, temperature, and how the camera is used. In the case of AA

batteries, capacity also varies with make and storage conditions; some batteries can not be used. Sample figures for the camera and optional MB-Dl 1 multi-power battery pack are given below.

• Cl PA standard^ One EN-EL15 battery (camera): Approximately 1050 shots One EN-EL15 battery (MB-D11): Approximately 1050 shots Six AA batteries (MB-D11): Approximately 650 shots Two EN-EL15 batteries (one in camera and one in MB-D11): Approximately 2100 shots

• Nikon standard ^ One EN-EL15 battery (camera): Approximately 4500 shots One EN-EL15 battery (MB-D11): Approximately 4500 shots Six AA batteries (MB-D11): Approximately 1700 shots Two EN-EL15 batteries (one in camera and one in MB-D11): Approximately 9000 shots

1 Measured at 23 °C/73.4 °F (±2 °C/3.6 °F) with an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G

ED VR lens under the following test conditions: lens cycled from infinity to minimum range and one photograph taken at default settings once every 30 s; flash fired once every other shot. Live view not used.

2 Measured at 20 °C/68 °F with an AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens under the

following test conditions: image quality set to JPEG basic, image size set to M (medium),

shutter speed V250 s, shutter-release button pressed halfway for three seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times; six shots are then taken in succession

and monitor turned on for five seconds and then turned off; cycle repeated once

exposure meters have turned off.

The following can reduce battery life:

• Using the monitor

• Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway

• Repeated autofocus operations

• Taking NEF (RAW) photographs

• Slow shutter speeds

• Using the optional WT-4 wireless transmitter

• Using a GP-1 GPS unit

• Using VR (vibration reduction) mode with VR lenses

To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL15 batteries:

• Keep the battery contacts clean. Soiled contacts can reduce battery performance.

• Use batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left

unused.
