Released January 2020. Lens not included. Purchase separately. 51-point AF system employs the same AF algorithm as the flagship D5. Compatible with bright and dark scenes, shutter speeds of 1/8000 sec. to 900 sec. [D780] D780 Released January 2020. 51-point AF system employs the same AF algorithm as the flagship D5. This is an enhanced version of the D750's 51-point AF system. The high processing power of the EXPEED 6 image processor and the evolved Advanced Scene Recognition System, which employs an 180K-pixel RGB sensor, provide more detailed subject information, improving 3D-tracking motion tracking performance. Furthermore, the AF algorithm of the flagship D5 has been optimized and adopted to improve subject detection performance in auto-area AF. A nearly 100% field of view allows for continuous subject tracking in real time, and the optical viewfinder's optics, now featuring a glass pentaprism, have been improved. Combined with an improved viewfinder, this allows for more accurate focusing, even in low-light conditions or when low-contrast subjects are moving quickly and erratically.
Automatic AF Fine-Tuning with Improved Accuracy by Registering Both Ends of the Zoom Lens: AF fine-tuning values ​​acquired for each attached lens can be automatically registered for precise focusing. With the D780, fine-tuning values ​​acquired at both the wide-angle and telephoto ends of zoom lenses can be registered. Using AF fine-tuning values ​​at both ends of the zoom lens improves AF accuracy across the entire zoom range. Registration is possible during viewfinder shooting, Live View shooting, and still and video shooting.
High-Speed ​​Continuous Shooting at Approximately 7 Frames Per Second to Capture That Perfect Moment: The newly equipped mirror balancer thoroughly suppresses viewfinder image shake. Enjoy smooth high-speed continuous shooting at up to approximately 7 frames per second while viewing the subject in real time through the optical viewfinder. Furthermore, the increased buffer memory allows for continuous shooting of up to approximately 68 frames in 14-bit lossless compressed RAW, ensuring you'll never miss a shot. Nikon's first digital SLR camera to feature a 273-point hybrid AF system with focal plane phase-detection AF. This is the first Nikon digital SLR camera to feature focal plane phase-detection AF, dramatically improving AF performance during Live View shooting. The hybrid AF system automatically switches between focal plane phase-detection AF and contrast-detection AF depending on the situation, providing 273 focus points across a wide, dense coverage area of ​​approximately 90% of the image field horizontally and vertically. This makes focusing on subjects at the periphery of the frame easy. The combination of a tilting, touch-sensitive monitor and a wide AF area expands the Live View shooting range, dramatically increasing photographers' freedom in camera positioning and framing. Auto-area AF with Eye AF lets you focus on the subject's eyes. Auto-area AF in Live View still photography supports Eye AF, which detects and focuses on a subject's eyes. This allows you to capture sharply focused images, especially in portraits, allowing you to focus on the composition more easily. Even if a subject turns around or you quickly raise the camera, the camera instantly focuses on their eyes, ensuring you never miss a shot. Capture unseen moments with 120 frames per second high-speed frame capture. During video live view, you can capture 2-megapixel still images at approximately 120 frames per second or 8-megapixel still images at approximately 30 frames per second with AF/AE tracking. Capture every moment of a fleeting action, like a slam dunk or a bird taking flight. Capture moments that were previously unseen. A back-illuminated Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor with a standard sensitivity of ISO 51200 and an effective pixel count of 24.5 megapixels. The Nikon FX-format back-illuminated CMOS sensor delivers the optimal balance of resolution, high image quality, and high-sensitivity performance. The wide pixel pitch ensuring an effective pixel count of 24.5 megapixels and a structure that more efficiently guides incident light to the photodiodes work in conjunction with the latest EXPEED 6 image processing engine to deliver outstanding high-sensitivity performance from ISO 100 to 51200*. Even at high sensitivities, noise is effectively suppressed for superior resolution. High-resolution, low-noise images with the EXPEED 6 image processing engine. The EXPEED 6 image processing engine supports various sharpness adjustments using the advanced Picture Control, delivering superior image quality with improved resolution and noise characteristics. Its outstanding computing power enables high-speed continuous shooting at approximately 7 frames per second with AF/AE tracking and full-frame 4K UHD/30p video recording. Diffraction correction is also supported, ensuring superior resolution even when shooting landscapes at a narrow aperture.
Beautiful, vibrant image expression with 4K UHD-compatible HDR (HLG) video output. When outputting HDMI at 10-bit, 4K UHD HDR (HLG) video is compatible with the HLG format used in HDR broadcasting. Rich gradation information suppresses highlight and shadow gradation loss, resulting in vibrant image expression with minimal color saturation. It also contributes to speeding up high-end workflows by eliminating the need to convert video recorded in N-Log to HDR. Even if your external recorder does not support HLG, you can check color and brightness on the camera's image monitor using the View Assist function, which performs simple gradation correction.
Durable body with dust- and splash-proof performance for high reliability even in harsh environments. The monocoque body features magnesium alloy top and back covers, achieving high rigidity and durability while also being lightweight. Effective sealing in various areas of the body ensures reliable dust- and splash-proof performance. The camera also features a new ISO button, which is frequently used, and an AF-ON button, which activates AF instead of half-pressing the shutter button. Furthermore, the controls are optimally positioned, and the camera features a comfortable grip with a good grip. It delivers high reliability and operability in a variety of shooting situations, providing a safe and comfortable shooting experience. It also features a new function, Simultaneous Deletion of Identical Images, and a dual SD card slot. The camera features dual slots that support two UHS-II-compliant SD cards. By loading memory cards into both slots, you can efficiently record images by using sequential recording, backup recording, or RAW+JPEG split recording depending on your needs. Images can also be copied between cards. When shooting video, you can select the card with sufficient free space as the recording destination. Another new feature is the ability to simultaneously delete identical images stored on two cards using backup or split recording in a single operation, further speeding up your workflow.
