From the Manufacturer

Built on a rugged magnesium metal chassis, the Nikon D1X professional digital camera features ergonomic design, intuitive handling and balance. Controls that are logically positioned for fast and accurate handling and responsiveness will enable you to capture great pictures.

Vibrant Color and High Performance
Vibrant color, exceptional contrast and high definition are the hallmarks of Nikkor optics. The Nikon D1X utilizes Nikkor quality by capturing sharpness, tonal range, color and detail on a high-resolution Charge Coupled Device (CCD). The D1X delivers 3,008 x 1,960-pixel images that easily handle double-page magazine spreads.

High Performance for Superior Photography
The Nikon D1X camera design is intuitive. Controls are logically positioned for fast and accurate handling. Capable of up to 3 fps for up to 9 consecutive shots with JPEG or TIFF formats, the D1X can buffer up to 6 NEF images at the same frame rate. Images will write directly to the installed CompactFlash card, or to a compatible computer via the camera’s IEEE-1394 interface.

Quick Response and Shooting Speed
With a quick start-up time and short shutter release lag time of approximately 58ms, using a D1X feels much the same as any other professional Nikon SLR. Combined with very fast image processing, it ensures smooth, worry-free operation. The camera’s charge-coupled electronic shutter has a speed range from 30 seconds to an action-freezing 1/16,000 second, with TTL flash sync up to 1/500 and manual FP high-speed flash-sync with a Nikon compatible Speedlights up to 1/8,000 sec. Flash control is available from Manual to Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash.

Fast and Accurate Autofocus Performance
Using a performance-proven Multi-Cam 1300 autofocus sensor, the D1X offers a high-speed, 5-area AF system well suited for fast and creative composition. Photographers can designate any of the five sensors as the primary, allowing faster focusing regardless of where the subject enters the camera’s field of view. Choose from Single Servo AF, Continuous Servo and full mechanical focus modes.

The Creative Power of Digital Imaging
The D1X features Auto TTL White Balance, Preset and Manual White Balance and also Fine-Tuning for White Balance. With Tone Compensation, photographers can alter the tonal curve for unusual lighting situations. Additionally, the D1X incorporates two-color modes–sRGB and Adobe RGB–plus user-controlled Hue for up to 14 unique levels of color adjustment.

Exposure Metering and Control Options
The camera features a choice of three exposure metering modes, including 3D Color Matrix, Variable Center-Weighted and 5-Spot Metering, as well as four exposure modes, including Programmed Auto with Flexible Program, Shutter Priority Auto, Aperture Priority Auto and Manual. You can dial in ±5 EV Exposure Compensation in full, 1/2 or 1/3 steps. The D1X provides Auto Exposure Bracketing of two or three frames in 1/3 to 1 EV steps.

Instant Feedback
Nikon’s “always ready to shoot” playback system allows you immediate access to seven screens of information about your image to ensure perfect image capture. In playback mode, you can review image information histogram and highlights to assess image quality. Using thumbnail previews, you can quickly evaluate your entire shoot. The LCD’s 130,000-pixel construction provides a sharp and colorful image for viewing.
