Description:
If you've been looking to take your passion to the next level with full-frame HD-SLR performance, your wait is over. Now the power of a pro-level Nikon FX-format camera—stunning full-frame images, cinema-quality 1080p videos, superior low-light performance, blazing fast framing and burst rates, built-in HDR, wireless photo sharing and much more—is attainable in a compact, lightweight HD-SLR. Optimized for full-frame shooting and versatility, streamlined for compactness and value, the D600 will fuel your passion like never before.
Features:
FX-quality images and HD videos
- Passionate photographers who seek exceptional full-frame,
high-resolution performance rely on Nikon FX-format HD-SLRs. For the first
time ever, that level of performance is available in a compact, affordable
HD-SLR. D600's 24.3 megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor captures every detail
with lifelike sharpness. Its EXPEED 3 processing system manages all that
data with remarkable speed and accuracy, enabling up to 5.5
frames-per-second (fps) continuous shooting at full resolution. And the
low-light performance synonymous with Nikon is again proven deserved—shoot
crystal clear images from ISO 100 to 6400, expandable down to 50 and up to
25,600 for extreme situations.
The beauty is in the details
- One of the keys to capturing razor-sharp images and HD videos—whether
shooting through the viewfinder or with the LCD monitor—is a fast, precise
autofocus system, and the D600 has one of the best. 39 focus points with
wide-area AF coverage offer endless compositional possibilities. Nine
cross-type sensors and seven center focus points work all the way down to
f/8 for extended AF functionality with teleconverters and long-reach lenses.
- When shooting photos or HD video in Live View, Nikon’s responsive
contrast-detect AF activates for accurate fulltime autofocusing. Every
moment you capture will be razor sharp.
Unwavering exceptional performance
- The D600 delivers consistently beautiful images and HD videos, thanks to
Nikon’s intelligent Scene Recognition System with 3D Color Matrix Metering
II. Its 2,016 pixel RGB sensor evaluates every scene, taking into account
brightness, contrast, subject distance and the scene colors, all within the
time it takes to press the shutter release button. That data is then
referenced against an onboard image database for consistently accurate
exposures, auto white balance, i-TTL flash and subject-tracking autofocus
performance.
Cinema-quality HD video projects
- Nikon is committed to developing HD-SLRs that empower and inspire
filmmakers and video enthusiasts, and the D600 is proof of that commitment.
Shoot 1080p HD videos with selectable frame rates of 30p, 25p or 24p and
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression. Bend time with 720p HD at 60p, 50p or 30p for
ultra-smooth video playback of fast moving subjects, or create slow-motion
footage during post processing. Maintain your creative vision with manual
exposure control, fulltime AF with face-priority and subject tracking,
dedicated inputs for a stereo mic and headphones, still image exporting, and
much more. Enhance all that with the dramatic perspectives and
depth-of-field control of NIKKOR interchangeable lenses, and you'll dazzle
with every video project.
Wi-Fi camera control and mobile photo sharing
- With Wi-Fi compatibility, the D600 makes sharing photos even easier.
Connect the optional WU-1b Wireless Adapter and wirelessly transfer photos
to your smartphone, tablet or any compatible Wi-Fi enabled device. Use your
smartphone to instantly upload your shots to the web or email them to a
friend. Install Nikon's free Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility and remotely
control the D600—see what the camera sees from your smartphone or tablet and
fire off shots!
Lighting studio optional
- The D600’s built-in pop-up flash opens up new shooting possibilities—and
not just in low-light situations. Even well lit subjects can benefit from a
balanced fill flash for extra depth and dimension. And since the D600’s
flash integrates with Nikon’s i-TTL system, it can act as a Commander and
communicate crucial exposure information to two groups of remote flashes
across three channels for accurate lighting and exceptional results.
