Nikon D600
Features newly developed 24.3-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor
Precision Technology Engineered for the Enthusiast
Enthusiasts of all types demand the best from their gear, and the Nikon
D600 is a camera engineered with intuitive features that give
photographers an edge in the field. Whether shooting lush landscapes,
action sports or the elusive animals of the Serengeti, Nikon's Scene
Recognition System and 2,016 pixel RGB sensor excels in any situation.
By recognizing the scene prior to capture, the system meticulously
analyzes factors such as color and brightness with extraordinary
precision and compares all the data using Nikon's exclusive 30,000 image
database. The result is enhanced AF performance and flattering
exposures.
For precise AF performance in a wide
variety of shooting conditions, the D600 features a 39 point AF system
with the new MultiCAM 4800FX AF module. This AF array is well suited to a
wide variety of shooting styles and disciplines, offering AF modes to
let users select a single point, continuous AF, Dynamic AF or use 3D
tracking to keep pace with a moving subject throughout the frame.
Additionally, the system features nine cross type sensors for maximum
accuracy, while seven AF points are fully functional when using
compatible NIKKOR lenses and teleconverters with an aperture value up to
f/8 for extreme telephoto applications.
To keep up with action sports, active wildlife or the photo opportunity
that unexpectedly arises, the D600 is ready to shoot in 0.13 seconds,
with a 0.052 second shutter release. The camera emphasizes speed and
performance, from overall operation and image processing, helped in part
by the exceptional EXPEED 3 processing engine. The camera is also
capable of bursts of images at 5.5 frames per second (fps) at full
resolution with full AF, to capture decisive moments. To further enhance
speed and workflow, images and video can also be rapidly transferred to
dual SD card slots that are compatible with the latest SDXC and UHS-1
high speed standards.
Enthusiasts will also appreciate other thoughtful features made to
appeal to more advanced photographers, such as the 100% frame coverage
seen through optical viewfinder. The wide and bright view makes it easy
to compose in a variety of conditions, and affords the ability to enjoy
shooting for hours on end with minimal eye fatigue. Additionally, the
D600 features several scene modes and features to enhance creativity,
including one-touch access to Picture Control functions through a new
dedicated button. Photographers can also shoot images in High Dynamic
(HDR) mode for amazing highlights, and create awe-inspiring time lapses
with ease.
Experience Full HD
The Nikon D600 has advanced video features that are ideal for those
ready to embrace the world of HD-SLR video, as well as those already
enjoying its benefits such as manual control, depth of field, low-light
ability and lensing options. This camera gives users the ability to
record Full HD at varying frame rates and resolutions including 1080p
video at 30, 25 or 24p, and 720p video at 60, 50 and 30p. When shooting
HD video at the highest quality setting, up to 20 minutes can be
recorded, or up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds in normal quality for added
convenience when shooting static shots such as interviews and events.
The large 3.2-inch 921K dot LCD screen makes it easy to preview images
or video captured, navigate the menu system or confirm critical HD
focus, while automatic brightness control adapts seamlessly to changing
lighting conditions.
