- D800E The Ultimate Attention to Detail
- Nikon
engineers have developed a unique alternative for those seeking the
ultimate in definition. The D800E incorporates an optical filter with
all the anti-aliasing properties removed in order to facilitate the
sharpest images possible. This is an ideal tool for photographers who
can control light, distance and their subjects to the degree where they
can mitigate the occurrence of moiré. Aside from the optical filter, all
functions and features are the same as on the D800
- Nikon FX-Format CMOS Sensor with 36.3 Effective Megapixels
- Standard ISO 100 to ISO 6400 Expandable to ISO 50 to 25,600 Equivalent
- High-resolution,
studio-quality images shouldn't be restricted to the studio. The D800E
sets a new benchmark for high resolution D-SLR cameras, with crisp clean
images across a wide ISO range. Flexibility like this opens up new
imaging opportunities for both still photographers and cinematographers
alike during the "magic hour", the time just before dawn or at dusk when
available light is often beautiful but scarce. Even at high ISO
settings, the camera's intelligent noise reduction systems manage noise
without sacrificing fine details, giving the D800E the edge. The
difference can even be seen in low-contrast subjects such as hair and
grass textures, which are often essential elements of cinema as well as
high-resolution portraits and landscape images. High image quality at
higher ISOs also means that you can shoot still images handheld more
confidently, knowing that fast shutter speeds will reduce blur
- A Strategic Approach to Turn Light to Your Advantage
- Combining
both high-resolution performance and a wide ISO sensitivity range has
finally become a reality. Nikon engineers have developed intelligent new
methods to manipulate light transmission to the sensor's photodiodes:
from the optical low-pass filter and on-chip gapless micro lenses to the
image sensor's internal design, every measure has been taken to
maximize and improve light transmission in order to deliver crisp,
brilliant images with significantly less noise. All this is possible
under a wide variety of lighting conditions, enabling you to get the
most out of your NIKKOR lenses
- EXPEED 3 Image Processing Engine: Speed, Versatility, and High Performance
- High-megapixel
still images are detail-rich but data-heavy. With the D800E, however,
you don't have to sacrifice speed for this privilege. Dedicated to
understanding speed and its role in image making, Nikon engineers
designed a powerful EXPEED 3 image-processing engine exclusively for
digital SLRs. From image processing and card recording to image playback
and image transfer, EXPEED 3 manages massive amounts of data at faster
speeds than EXPEED 2. Even with specialized processing features like
Active D-Lighting and high ISO noise reduction, capture speed is not
affected. EXPEED 3 is so powerful that it handles data-intensive tasks
such as Full HD video recording at 30p with ease. You'll also notice the
difference in your still images and videos through minimized noise and
even richer colors and tones. In addition to these fundamental
advantages, the D800E reduces the kind of color phase shift that some
cameras have difficulty with in similar situations
- 36Mp & D-Movie Broadcast Quality Video in Two D-Movie Formats
- Multi-area
mode full HD D-Movie: Creative movie-making freedom in FX and DX based
formats The D800E is designed to stimulate cinematographers to explore
different moods and perspectives by enabling Full HD and HD video
recording in two frame formats; Nikon FX- and DX-based movie formats in
just one camera. When using wide-aperture NIKKOR lenses, the large image
area of the FX-based format renders exquisitely shallow depth of field
with beautiful bokeh effects. The DX-based format uses an image area
similar to 35mm movie film, allowing cinematographers to shoot with
picture angles that they are accustomed to. Having the advantage of two
D-Movie formats in one camera and an arsenal of NIKKOR lenses makes the
D800E an incredibly versatile movie-making tool
- Smoother video
recording under fluorescent or mercury lamps: Auto flicker reduction
With the D800E, it is easier than ever to reduce flicker effects during
live view and video recording. Simply use auto in the flicker reduction
menu to automatically identify the flicker frequency at the beginning of
live view and switch to the one that will work best. You can also
manually switch between 50 Hz and 60 Hz
- Lateral Chromatic Aberration Reduction: Take Full Advantage of your NIKKOR Lens Collection
- High-megapixel
sensors can really test the quality of your lenses, but you can be
confident that the combination of brilliant NIKKOR lenses and Nikon's
intelligent processing measures will significantly reduce lateral
chromatic aberration to give you incredibly natural-looking results.
Unlike other correction methods that simply eliminate chromatic
aberration, Nikon's method compensates for these color differences in a
resolving index for each color, making it particularly effective in
producing images with stunning edge-to- edge sharpness. Moreover,
because these corrections are made regardless of the NIKKOR lens used,
this feature contributes substantially to achieving the sharpest images
possible
- Advanced Scene Recognition System with 91K-Pixel RGB Sensor
- Nikon's
revolutionary Advanced Scene Recognition System, introduced with the
flagship D4 camera, is also employed in the D800E. At its core is a
91K-pixel RGB sensor that meticulously analyzes each scene with the fine
resolution. The RGB sensor can recognize your scene's colors and
brightness with unprecedented precision, then use that information to
implement various automatic controls and give you more natural-looking
results. The real breakthrough, however, is that the sensor can detect
human faces with startling accuracy when shooting through the optical
viewfinder. Along with face detection, detailed scene analysis is
utilized to support more accurate autofocus, auto exposure and i-TTL
flash exposure results in a diverse range of compositional and lighting
situations. The improved subject tracking is most noticeable when using
3D-tracking, which can maintain a focus on moving subjects smaller in
size than with previous generations
- More Accurate Face Detection in Auto-Area AF and Subject Tracking in 3D-Tracking
- Auto-area
AF and 3D-tracking are AF-area modes unique to Nikon that use your
subject's color and brightness information to detect focus. With the
D800E and its more precise information and subject recognition
advancements, expect big steps forward for both AF-area modes when
taking high-quality still images. In auto-area AF, the camera can
genuinely detect human faces and focuses on them immediately - useful
when faces are a priority and there's no time to choose focus points.
When using 3D-tracking, the sensor's fine resolution combines with a
specifically optimized AF algorithm to realize unprecedented subject
tracking precision, recognizing detailed patterns to keep your subject
in sharp focus
- 3D Color Matrix Metering III for More Accurate Exposures
- Professional
photographers who shoot still images know that Nikon's metering system
delivers supremely well-balanced exposures. Thanks to the 91K-pixel RGB
sensor, the D800E has far more detailed scene information at its
disposal - including detected face information. This data helps the 3D
color matrix metering III deliver more desirable auto exposures,
especially when there are human faces present. When the D800E recognizes
a human face in a backlit situation, the camera determines the overall
exposure while prioritizing the facial exposure, which might otherwise
be underexposed. When a face is lit from the front and appears much
brighter than the background, the camera recognizes the situation and
avoids blowing out the facial details
- More Balanced Results in i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash and Active D-Lighting
- Nikon's
i-TTL system has long been considered the most accurate flash control
system in photography, but now face detection and highlight analysis by
the 91K-pixel RGB sensor pushes performance even further. With the
D800E's enhanced i-TTL balanced fill-flash, you can more precisely
illuminate people's faces in relation to their surrounding brightness
using either the built-in flash or an external hot-shoed Nikon
Speedlight. For weddings and fashion shoots, or any photography that
relies on the highest-quality still images, this new standard redefines
what a flash system should be. Face detection also makes a difference
when Active D-Lighting is used to retain highlights and shadows in
high-contrast lighting situations. Faces will be optimally exposed both
in the sun and in the shade
