FX format makes a difference:
- The D610's FX-format CMOS image sensor will transport your photography to new heights. Boasting a larger pixel than you'll get in other formats with the same pixel count, it's able to capture more light. This technical advantage has a huge impact on dynamic and image quality at high ISOs.
4 key assets:
- Vital elements for a formidable machine - FX-format sensor, EXPEED 3, Picture Control and NIKKOR
NIKKOR:
- NIKKOR lenses realize the sensor's full potential, achieving exquisite with minimized aberration, while rendering spectacular bokeh for a three dimensional look that's true-to-life.
EXPEED 3:
- The D610 takes full advantage of Nikon's EXPEED 3, the same image-processing engine found in the D4 and D800 series, meaning it can swiftly manage the large data files that an FX-format sensor produces.
Picture Control technology:
- Picture Control technology makes it simple to tailor the look and feel of your stills and videos by fine-tuning their parameters using preset options. And with enhanced auto white balance accuracy for common capturing scenarios, the D610 reproduces colors naturally and precisely.
6-fps continuous Capturing:
- It's easier than ever to nail key moments with the D610. The camera boasts even faster continuous capturing than its predecessor, at up to approx. 6 fps in FX and DX formats - amazing when you consider that the former is recording 24.3 megapixels with each capture.
Qc shutter-release mode for quiet operation [NEW]:
- The D610's new Qc (quiet continuous) shutter-release mode reduces mirror noise while still offering up to 3 fps, for maximum discretion in situations such as ceremonies and school plays, or when taking pictures of wildlife and insect
Approx. 100% frame coverage
- The bright, clear glass prism of the D610's optical viewfinder covers approx. 100% of the image area, an invaluable asset for accurate framing. The approx. 0.7x magnification - the same as the D4 and D800/D800 - means it's easy to see all the visual elements in the viewfinder.
39 focus points and f/8 compatibility:
- The D610's AF system gives you absolute confidence when capturing moving subjects by using 39 strategically placed focus points, with nine powerful cross-type sensors in the center to maintain accuracy even when light and contrast are low.
Double SD card slots:
- The D610's double SD card slots provide multiple options for recording and storing large files: you can write RAW and JPEG data to separate cards, copy from one card to another, or select a slot according to the remaining capacity during video capturing.
Dependable body and shutter:
- The D610's rugged body utilizes a durable magnesium alloy for the top and rear frames, and its weather-sealing gives it the same dust and moisture proof reliability as the D800 series.
Built-in flash to trigger remote Speedlights:
- The D610's built-in flash makes Advanced Wireless Lighting with Nikon Speedlights even easier and more portable. Turn the flash to commander mode and you can wirelessly trigger your remote Speedlights (SB-700 or SB-910) with ease.
Full HD D-Movie and time-lapse feature:
- The D610 can record 1080p Full HD video at 30p in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, with a choice of both FX- and DX-based movie formats, plus comprehensive audio control including a dedicated stereo headphone connector.
