Vibration Reduction (VR)
Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) technology is an exciting feature that
allows sharp photographs to be taken when the camera cannot be held
perfectly still. Vibration Reduction offers the ability to shoot at
shutter speeds of more than three stops (or eight times) slower, without
the risk of camera vibrations blurring your image. Camera shake occurs
when the small movements of your hands cause an image to blur when the
shutter is released. With Nikon's VR system, angular velocity sensors
detect camera movement and then calculate the direction and width of the
blurred area. Using this calculation, the VR unit automatically adjusts to
the camera vibrations by compensating for image movement on the CCD. VR's
steadying effect is easy to see, not only in the images you take, but also
on the LCD/viewfinder when shooting.
-
Use the active mode for best
results when shooting from a moving vehicle.
-
With the 10x zoom providing a
350mm (35mm equivalent) range, image blur will always be a concern when
you're not using a tripod. VR cuts down on image blur--even when using
high-powered zoom lenses.
-
Image blur is always a
concern in low-light shooting situations. VR lets you take steady shots
without a speedlight or a tripod. It is also effective for slow sync
flash shots.
-
Sometimes you want to capture
the flow of movement with a slow-shutter shot. VR makes it happen while
keeping the background steady and clear.
-
Use Normal mode to compensate
for only non-intended camera movement (camera shake). In this way, you
can express motion in the background while keeping the subject in clear
focus.
-
VR also works for the
camera's movie modes, meaning clear and steady movie shots are easier
than ever.
-
VR is effective when
attaching the telephoto converter (TC-E17ED) with UR-E17, as well as the
wide-angle converter attachment (WM-E80). That means shooting at shutter
speeds of more than three stops is guaranteed from 28mm wide-angle to
600mm telephoto (35mm equivalent).
Scene Modes, Auto and
Manual Setting
For the ultimate in creative control, choose between automatic, aperture
priority, shutter priority and full manual settings. Or choose one of 15
scene modes to automatically adjust controls for great pictures instantly.
With a choice of 15 scene modes, you can quickly select the most
appropriate mode for the scene you are capturing.
-
Macro: Allows shooting as
close as approximately 1.2 inches from your subject.
-
Movie mode: Capture live
action with sound. Clips are saved as a QuickTime movie, which can
easily be e-mailed to family and friends.
Metering
Choose your preferred light metering system. Select Nikon's exclusive
256-segment matrix, center-weighted, spot, or autofocus (AF) spot metering
options. (Use matrix metering for general shooting, center-weighted for a
central subject, spot for emphasis on a particular area, and AF spot to
lock metering and focus on a particular area. The in-camera red-eye fix
corrects most typical instances of red-eye during the picture taking
process. By the time you're ready for your next shot, the camera has
already fixed and saved the image, without the red eyes.
Autofocus
Contrast-detect TTL-AF, center, auto 5-area multi AF, manual 9-area multi
AF selectable. AF Assist Illuminator makes sharp focus possible when the
subject is not well lit.
Flash
A hot shoe lets you connect an additional Nikon speedlight (flash) to the
top of the camera. The six-mode built-in flash includes auto, red-eye
reduction (by pre-flash), anytime flash, flash cancel, slow sync, and
rear-curtain sync. Features one-touch upload for easy image transfer from
camera to computer.
D-lighting
Improve images shot with strong back lighting or in shadow. While in
playback, select the D-lighting function, apply it and save the corrected
image. D-lighting fixes underexposed and backlit images without harming
the properly exposed areas of your image.
PictureProject Software
Nikon PictureProject is a fast and powerful tool for organizing and
working with your pictures easily and intuitively. PictureProject will let
you transfer your pictures from your camera seamlessly. You can then edit,

stunning panorama.
With Nikon PictureProject, you

later).
