NIKKOR lenses

The image quality achieved by any SLR camera system is directly influenced by the quality of the lenses it can accommodate; and none equal the performance and quality of Nikon's AF, AF-S and dedicated DX NIKKOR lenses. Each NIKKOR lens proudly represents the company's 90 -year heritage of developing the finest components and building processes to produce industry-leading photo optics with precision mechanisms and optimized performance. ED and Super ED glass elements compensate for magnification and help correct chromatic aberration. Exclusive Nano - Crystal anti reflective coating prevents reflection better than conventional lenses to reduce flare and glare, especially under strong lighting. DX NIKKOR lenses are designed expressly for use with Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras. Featuring designs that are both light and compact, the enhanced wide picture angle performance and outstanding center-to-edgeAF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G ED to-corner image quality of DX NIKKOR lenses contribute to achieving superb Nikon DXformat performance. Precision mechanisms include the Close-range Correction system used in fisheye, wide-angle and other lenses to provide superior picture quality at close focusing distances. Nikon's own SWM (Silent Wave Motor) technology combines fast and accurate autofocusing with superquiet operation. And Internal Focusing (IF) helps ensure smoother focusing and a better balanced body. Two V R modes are available to match shooting conditions. Normal mode primarily reduces camera shake in handheld shooting, and detects panning automatically. Active mode compensates for situations where vibration is pronounced and frequent, such as when shooting from a moving vehicle.

Advanced lighting control
Nikons Creative Lighting System provides advanced control and incredible flexibility to fully empower the creative process
to shooting at shutter speeds of up to 4 stops faster*, making it possible to take substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds in lower lighting conditions. The VR II system's optics physically adjust in real time, so a stable image is seen through the viewfinder while confirming the shot. And, because the optical lens shift mechanism is optimized for each focal length, each VR lens produces consistent results.
Meniscus protective glass elements prevent damage to large-diameter telephoto lenses while providing sharp, clear images with less ghosting. Three types of precision ground aspheric elements help minimize lens aberrations and wide-angle lens distortion.
Built-in Flash with i-TTL flash control
The power ful built- in flash does much more than fire when natural lighting is inadequate or effectively add balanced fill flash when there is strong backlighting. Nikon's highly robust i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with greater precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver outstanding results. Full support for the Advanced Wireless Lighting System lets the built-in flash function as a wireless remote commander that provides direct, two - group wireless control over SB-600, SB-800 or SB-R200 Speedlights.

i- TTL flash control

Building on the accuracy of the monitor preflash, the brighter, shorter i-TTL pre-flash enables more precise evaluation of flash exposure to achieve outstanding results born of better automatic flash balance.

SB-800 SB-600

Advanced Wireless Lighting System
Exclusive technology does away with the need for cables and flash meters to provide you with a totally flexible lighting solution. With the built-in flash, SB-800 Speedlight or SU-800 Wireless Commander serving as the Master controller, up to 3 remote groups of any number of SB-800, SB-600 or SB-R200 Speedlights can be arranged as you like for total lighting control, with mode settings (i -T TL , A A , A , M, Repeating and Flash cancel) available for each individual group and the Master controller, and full i-TTL control available based not only on general output ratios for each group, but also on subject brightness. As a result, each flash output ratio can be set, even if a remote is repositioned. Flash compensation can also be adjusted on the fly for each group, with settings easily made and confirmed on the Master controller's large dot matrix LCD. There's also a choice of 4 frequency channels to minimize the risk of interference with other photographers' Speedlights.
