Exceptional Perormance. Agile Design.
The rst Nikon FX-ormat camera, the D3, produced a quantum
leap in digital photography that orever changed the way
proessionals are able to work. Now, with the launch o the
second Nikon FX-ormat camera the Nikon D700 you
can achieve, in a smaller, lighter design, many o those same
extraordinary imaging eats that made the Nikon D3 an immediate
legend. Like the D3, the D700 transcends the expectations o
the world's leading photographers, in an agile body developed
rom the award-winning DX-ormat D300. In sot, subtle lighting,
it captures seductively smooth tones with astonishingly rendered
detail easily. In low-lit situations, it delivers virtually noise-
ree images or impeccable results at up to ISO 6400 easily.
And i youre aced with constantly changing lighting conditions,
the D700 handles these complex exposure changes with ISOsensitivity auto control easily. When your day is long and
demanding and you need to travel light, youll appreciate this
cameras portability, responsiveness and nely balanced handling.
And when you need more speed to capture a crucial moment,
the D700 delivers with the option o a multi-power battery pack
that gives you up to 8 rames per second*, continuous shooting.
Whether your subjects ast, slow or still, youll capture it with
tack-sharp precision using Nikons exclusive 51-point AF system
easily. Every aspect o the D700 has been careully engineered,
to provide you with the reedom to work eciently and with the
utmost sensitivity, as a natural extension o your personal vision.
The D700 achieves a remarkable distillation o the nest imaging
perormance digital photography can oer.

Lateral chromatic aberration reduction
Color ringes, also known as chromatic aberration, are
generated because varying wavelengths o light result in
slightly dierent magnications. To overcome this unwa
eect, the D700 incorpor ates Nikons exclusive lateral
chromatic aberration reduction unction. Unlike conventi
correction methods that merely eliminate the colors o
chromatic aberration, Nikons method compensates or
dierences in the resolving index or eac h color, making
particularly eective or reducing the image distortion at
the edges o a r ame in addition to improving image qua
throughout the entire rame. Moreover, because aberrat
is corrected regardless o lens type, this eature deliverssharper images whichever NIKKOR you use.
Integrated Dust Reduction System
Nikon meticulously developed this system, analyzing the
characteristics o a myriad o image-degrading particulat
as to ully evaluate perormance and reliability in a wide
o temperatures and humidity levels. One key compone
o the system is the Image Sensor Cleaning unction, w
employs piezoelectric elements to generate vibrations a
specic requencies to optimize dust removal. Image Se
Cleaning can be set or automatic activation when the ca
is turned on and o, or at any time the photographer ee
necessary.

The D700 enables you to use a broad spectrum o NIKKORlenses while retaining the lens native angle o view. In cropmode, you can broaden the D700s versatility through theuse o DX NIKKORs. And up to nine manual ocus NIKKORscan be registered to provide even more D700 s ystemcompatibility.
The NIKKOR lens advantage
The praise heaped upon NIKKOR interchangeable lenses has
been earned legitimately. So prepare yoursel or images t hat
exhibit extraordinary sharpness, color, saturation and contrast
rom a comprehensive selection o outs tanding zoom,
super wideangle, wideangle, normal, telephoto and super
telephoto NIKKOR lenses. The Nikon FX ormat enablesphotographers to once again take advantage o the amiliar
perspective characteristics o 35mm lm photography. And
Nikon has painstakingly adapted the specic characteristics
o a wide range o NIKKORs, both old and new, to the D700s
Nikon FX-ormat sensor or superb results.
Nikon FX ormat and renowned NIKKOR lens es: Made or each other
Your oundation or exceptional images: The
12.1-megapixel Nikon FX-ormat CMOS sensor
Incorporating the same Nikon-original FX-ormat CMOS
imaging sensor developed or the groundbreaking D3, the
new Nikon D700 delivers immaculately clean images. Indeed,
the combination o the overall precision and light-handling
eciency o this sensor with the legendary perormance o
NIKKOR interchangeable lenses is integral to the outstanding
picture quality shared by these two extraordinary cameras.
Nikon engineers understand the importance o transorming
light into electrical signals as early in the process as possible,so they conducted a vast number o trials to construct a
sophisticated imaging sensor design eaturing nanometric
precision and absolute minimum loss. This is one o the key
reasons that images produced by the D700 don't simply rival
the resolution and tonal nuances o lm it's a standard
that the D700 clearly exceeds. The large Nikon FX ormat
and 12.1-megapixel resolution are major actors supporting
this incomparable image quality. Each pixel
has ample space to preserve details
even in shadows and highlights that
lesser cameras nd impossible. With
this level o quality, you can expect
image integrity that goes ar
beyond the numbers.

Comprehensive strategy to reduce noise
The D700 is designed to reduce noise even beore the menu-
activated High ISO NR settings are applied. And at higher
ISO settings o 2000 and over, with the High ISO NR turned
on, its activated automatically but in a manner designed to
give you rich, satisying, natural saturation a world beyond
the synthetic appearance o conventional image processing
systems.
Superior results instantly, even in dicult lighting
conditions
Access to high ISO settings that deliver superior image
les gives you so many more exposure options or shooting
exceptional pictures in situations that were ormerly beyond
your grasp. Poorly lit scenes that used to take time or
lighting setup can now be captured immediately. When
shooting in more subtle conditions, such as on an overcast
day, you wont have to sacrice aperture settings or the
sake o shutter speed. Simply boost the ISO and use a aster
shutter speed to achieve superior results. At locations where
tripods and monopods are prohibited or are inconvenient to
use, you can still obtain superb handheld results. And with
NIKKOR VR (Vibration Reduction) lenses, the shot you want
is a given. Scenes that you long considered dicult or even
impossible are yours or the taking, and capturing them has
never been easier.
Auto ISO setting
For shooting opportunities where you need to deal with
constantly changing light, ISO sensitivity auto control ca
be a major advantage, eliminating the need to sacrice
either aperture or shutter speed. Taking pictures with IS
sensitivity auto control enables you to limit how high yo
want the camera to allow the ISO to rise while selecting
your preerence or slowest permitted shutter speed. N
you can go with your instincts in Programmed- or Apert
priority auto, or simply lock the aperture and shutter spe
combination you want in manual mode and let the D700
judge the lighting situation or you, determining the optim
ISO or constant exposure results.
Active D-Lighting
Automatically regulating the dynamic range when the co
is too great lets you preserve highlights, such as those in
sky or a clear halo around the sun, and shadow details. T
D700 employs Nikons new Active D- Lighting, which wo
automatically when needed, so you can leave it on, know
will activate only when conditions indicate a need.

Another key to the D700s outstanding image
quality is Nikons powerul, state-o-the-art
EXPEED image-processing, a technology it
shares with the D3. Rich data captured with
the Nikon FX-ormat 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor maintains
an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio throughout 14-bit
A/D conversion and the numerous stages o 16-bit image
processing. This ensures smooth tonal gradations, the nest
shadow details and continuous transition even in highlights
delivering unparalleled results in an astounding variety o
lighting situations, be they well-lit, backlit or poorly lit.
Colors remain well-saturated and accurate even intransition, contributing to image depth that is simply
not possible with lesser cameras. This technology
applies not only to Nikons NEF (RAW) les, but also to
JPEG les, which oten require no post-processing and
are ready or immediate printing. Nikon's exclusive EXPEED
technologies process rich data at phenomenal speeds. And
unlike many digital cameras, everything is handled by a single
engine, conserving signicant battery power. This, combined
with the large buer memory, gives you greater breadth in
crucial situations, including extended shoots o ast-moving
subjects, such as sports or wildlie.
Clean les rom ISO 200 through 6400
The D700s high signal-to-noise ratio contributes to
impeccably clean image les across the broadest span o
ISO settings. The D700s standard range extends rom ISO
200 to ISO 6400, and whichever setting you select, the D700
delivers outstanding image quality. Now, you can choose high
ISO settings without hesitation and be assured o images
that exhibit remarkably low noise. And when conditions
demand it, you can also go lower to ISO 100 and higher toISO 12800 or even ISO 25600.

Versatile AF area modes
The D700s three AF area modes Single-point AF, Dynamic-area
AF, and Auto-area AF prepare you or any shooting situation.
With good light control and a static subject, Single-point AF
ensures that the most important element in your composition,
such as the eyes in a character portrait, will be sharply ocused.
With Dynamic-area AF, you can select rom several ocusing
options, utilizing 9, 21 or all 51 points. Just select a single AF point
as your priority, and the areas surrounding it serve as backup a
signifcant advantage when shooting moving subjects. Select the
nine-point option when you want to ocus on erratically moving
subjects with greater accuracy. When dealing with insufcient
contrast or ast ocus detection, choosing 21 or 51 points makes
detection easier. The 51-point option allows or 3D-Tracking
which uses color inormation rom the 1,005-pixel RGB sensor to
automatically ollow moving subjects across the AF points. Yet
unlike other Dynamic-area AF systems, you dont have to manually
reposition the AF point to continue tracking the subject, which
means you can concentrate more on composition. Auto-area AF
also uses color inormation and special ace recognition algorithms
to automatically ocus on an individuals ace, extremely helpul or
situations when theres simply no time to select a ocus point or
when using Live View in Hand-held mode at high or low angles.
Speed, response, and power at up to 8 rames per
second
With a startup time o 0.12 second and shutter release time
lag as short as 0.04 second (CIPA Guidelines), the compact,
lightweight D700 combines speed, response and power to rival
the proessional Nikon D3. I it's agility you require, use the D700
in its lightest confguration or a remarkable 5 rames per second.
For even greater speed, attach the Multi-Power Battery Pack
MB-D10 to boost shooting to a rapid-fre 8 rames per second*
ideal or sports or other action photography. With the D700
as is, you can shoot as many as 1,000 rames, while adding the
MB-D10 enables you to go or a massive 2,900 (CIPA Standards).
The Multi-Power Battery Pack's contours seamlessly meld with
the D700, providing a comortable grip or vertical composition
shooting and a reassuring stability when attached to a tripod or a
long, heavy lens. The D700 also supports next-generation UDMAtechnology, giving you an extra boost o recording speed, and
enabling you to shoot more consecutive shots or never-to-be-
repeated shooting opportunities.

51-point AF system
The strategically positioned 51 AF points o the D700's Multi-
CAM 3500F X AF sensor module are identical with those o
the D3, and keep your subject in ocus, even with quick and/or
erratic subject movement, across a wide extent o the rame.
The result is tack-sharp images and the opportunity to explore
a greater variety o compositions. The highly responsive AF
sensor detects your subject in EV as low as -1. The 15 points
o the three center rows employ cross-type sensors or extra-
powerul detection with any NIKKOR lens o /5.6 or aster,
ar exceeding the limitations imposed by similar competingsystems, contributing urther to the Nikon systems broad range

Highly sophisticated auto and fash exposure results
Nikon's 3D Color Matrix Metering II has long been praised
by discerning proessionals or its superior and consistent
accuracy. Indeed, it delivers exposure results aithul to what
the photographer actually sees in various lighting situations,
such as ront, side and back lighting. The system analyzes
a host o scene conditions such as brightness, contrast,
selected AF area, color, subject-to-camera distance and even
the refective quality o a scene then compares these
elements with an in-camera database containing inormation
rom over 30,000 actual shooting situations or incredible
exposure precision. Nikons unique Scene Recognition
Systems highlight analysis combined with the D700 s image
processing gives you images that accurately retain their tones
as well as ne details in highlights and shadows.
Accurate Auto White Balance, even with a mix o
light sources
Auto White Balance works together with Nikon's Scene
Recognition System to give you so much more. Milliseconds
beore shutter release, the D700s 1,005-pixel RGB
inormation assists the camera in calculating the in-depth
characteristics o the scene, cross-reerencing it with 5,000actual picture data examples among the over 20,000 images

Scene Recognition System: A new level o au to control accuracy
Scene Recognition System
Nikons revolutionary Scene Recognition
System redenes the scope, accuracy and
perormance o Digital SLR automatic control.
One way it does this is by expanding the
potential o the renowned 1,005-pixel RGB sensor ar beyond
3D Color Matrix Metering II and i -TTL fash control, applying
inormation rom it to autoocus and auto white balance
processes as well, thereby introducing a whole new level
o accuracy and perormance. The key to this revolutionary
technology is a unique optical device that enables more
precise color inormation readouts or an unprecedented
level o detailed scene inormation and analysis. This enables
the D700 to know and understandadditional and essential
elements within the scene you're about to shoot. Each scene
is analyzed milliseconds prior to shutter release, urther
optimizing autoocus, auto exposure, i-TTL control and white
balance beore the image is captured. Think o the Scene
Recognition System as an articial-intelligence assistant,
working tirelessly alongside you.
Precise color inormation or outstanding AF
accuracy
The D700s precise color inormation readouts deliver
auto ocus subject identication and tracking perormance
that no other camera maker can imitate. Use any o the
Dynamic-area AF modes 9, 21, or 51 points and the
color inormation o your main subject guides the D700s AF
system to continue tracking your subject, whether it moves
toward the camera, away rom the camera, or rom side to
side. Color inormation is integral to 3D -Tracking, which uses
color to constantly ollow the subject , switching ocus points
as needed to allow you to concentrate on ideal composition
without worrying about keeping
the subject in ocus. In Auto-
area AF mode, the D700
automatically recognizes people
and skin tones, quickly ocusing
on the most important element
the human ace.

Large, bright viewnderPut your eye to the D700s large circular eyepiece and rediscover why a
cameras viewnder experience cannot be taken or granted. One look
through a D700 conrms that superior viewnder design is at the heart
o single-lens refex camera handling. The Nikon FX ormat and large
pentagonal prism deliver a large, bright viewnder image, making accurate
composition easier or any shooting conditions. Whats more, the D700s
expertly designed viewnder enables skilled photographers to conrm ocus visually, in either auto
or manual ocus mode.
Inspired layout, intelligentlyapplied ergonomicsThe D700 gives you easy access, via
to unctions oten required while sho
eliminating the need or time-consum
menu searches. The size and layout o
buttons and dials have been o ptimize
reduce the chance o error. Theyre a
consistent with Nikons other proess
D-SLRs to make the use o multiple c
platorms substantially easier.
Long-lie batteryUsing the EN-EL3e, the same battery used
in the D300, the D700 lets you shoot up to
1,000 rames per charge* thanks to intelligent
power management. And by adding the EN-
EL4a in the optional Multi-Power Battery Pack
MB-D10, you can shoot up to 2,900 rames*.
All power options enable you to monitor the
level o battery power and shots remaining on
a charge.*Based on CIPA Standards

Precision-cast magnesium alloybodyThe D700 eatures rugged, durable and
lightweight magnesium alloy or the body,
exterior cover, chassis, and mirror box, to protect
the advanced technologies within and ensure
its ability to perorm in the most demanding
shooting conditions. Nikon also conducts severe
anti-shock tests to assure robust reliability o
perormance. Magnesium alloy is also utilized in
the Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10.
Engineered so nothing gets in your way
0.04 second shutter responseThe D700 works as ast as you do, enabling
you to capture the precise moments you
want. Thats why the shutter release time lag
was cut to an industry-leading 0.04 second
(CIPA Guidelines). Just compose and the
camera will capture your subjects every
move critical when shooting ast-moving
subjects.
Comprehensively sealed against dust and moistureThe D700 goes the extra mile to protect against invasive moisture, dust, and even
electromagnetic intererence. A meticulous, systematic series o O-rings and other specialized
seals, combined with additional Nikon protective engineering, keeps you shooting when lesser
cameras ail.
Mirror balancer or longerviewing timeWhen the shutter is released, the mirror cycles
up and down at a very high speed. Nikon's
unique precision mirror balancer instantly
cancels mirror bounce by absorbing shock.
As a result, the viewnder blackout time and
mirror movement noise are minimized.
0.12-second start-up timeAs with all other Nikon digital SLR cameras,
the D700s power switch is conveniently
located in ront o the shutter release button
or natural, fuid operation. Start-up time has
been minimized to 0.12 second to ensure
youre ready or every shooting opportunity.
Durable, high-precision shutter unitTested on ully assembled cameras, the
D700s shutter unit has been proven through
150,000 cycles under the most demanding
conditions. Nikons exclusive sel-diagnostic
shutter constantly monitors shutter operation,
conrming that it is operating at precisely
the designated shutter speed. D eviations are
corrected automatically, maintaining shutter
speed accuracy or more precise exposures.
