VR Optical Image Stabilization compensates for camera
shake to prevent blur and produce clearer, sharper results
in lower lighting or unsteady conditions. The benefits of
full-time VR also extend to faster framing on the monitor
and smoother action in movies.

System expandability

Optional Wide-angle (24mm) and
Telephoto (369mm) Converter lenses
further extend focal and creative
range, as does a built-in accessory
shoe that supports Nikon’s advanced
i-TTL flash control for external flashes,
including the Speedlight SB-400,
SB-600 and SB-800.

Advanced Shooting Modes

The new improved Mode dial
provides quick access to greater
personal control over camera
operation and the unlimited creative
possibilities offered by Programmed
Auto [P] ,Shutter-priority Auto [S],
Aperture-priority Auto [A], and
Manual [M] exposure modes.

12.1 Megapixels of Pure Imaging Power

ISO 3200 capability

Extended light sensitivity range of ISO 64 to ISO 3200* and the new
image-processing engine’s ability to preserve high image quality at high
ISO settings provide new opportunities to shoot more with faster
shutter speeds effectively in lower lighting conditions.

*ISO 3200 is available only for image sizes of 5M (2592 x 1944) or smaller.

That’s plenty of sharp resolution
to capture the finest details,
crop creatively and produce
beautiful enlargements.
Optimizing performance and
color reproduction is an advanced
new image processing engine.
Plus, the quality optics of a 35-123mm
Zoom-Nikkor lens (equivalent
with 35mm format picture angle)
maximizes compositional freedom.
