21 Sep 08 Nikon(R) Introduces the D2xs(TM) Professional Digital SLR Camera, Delivering Performance Advancements and Enhanced Features

* 12.4- D2xs Offers Unique Combination of Extraordinary , High-Speed and High- in a Single
* Internal and External Refinements Make D2xs a Commendable Successor to ’s Flagship D2x Camera

MELVILLE, N.Y., June 1 — (R) (http://www..com), the world leader in , today introduced the new D2xs(TM) professional camera, incorporating an impressive range of refinements that improve overall camera performance and enhance the user experience. The D2xs shares many performance and design innovations with the current and highly successful D2x camera, including the 12.4 million DX format that renders with high and sharp detail, necessary for demanding professional assignments. The D2xs also hosts a range of upgraded features that make operation significantly more responsive — including refined performance that makes for easier composition when shooting in ’s exclusive High-Speed Crop mode, a new 2.5 inch LCD with a 170-degree wide viewing angle, individually calibrated at the factory to ensure consistent color fidelity, significantly increased life and a wide range of firmware enhancements.

With its numerous refinements, the D2xs is truly equipped to meet the widely varied demands of today’s professional who strive to create that push the boundaries of what’s possible. Not only does the camera successfully combine high , speed and quality, but it also incorporates exclusive technologies that enable unfettered creativity. Options such as the WT-2A Wi-Fi transmitter achieves full wireless remote camera control and transmission, while the revolutionary i-TTL Speedlight technology included in the D2xs ensures radical new possibilities in creative lighting.

“Increasingly, professional have chosen the D2x as their primary workhorse camera due to its remarkable performance and versatility, making it ’s best selling professional camera. With the introduction of the D2xs, has built upon the proven performance of its predecessor and added new technologies and refined features that will
offer professionals an enhanced overall experience,” said Edward Fasano, general manager for Marketing, Products, Inc. “The D2xs is poised to become the next of choice among professional .”

Versatility Refined

Many of the that made the D2x such a success have been retained. The D2xs is capable of capturing 12.4 JPEG or RAW (NEF) at a rate of up to 5 frames per second in continuous shooting mode, and maintains a rapid start-up time, the world’s shortest shutter release time lag of just 37ms, as well as a blackout time of just 105 milliseconds. The D2xs also inherits the popular High-Speed Crop mode that uses a specific central area of the sensor to capture 6.8 at an incredible rate of up to 8 frames per second. A newly developed in the D2xs automatically superimposes a mask over the cropped area within the while in the High-Speed Crop mode, for easier and more confident composition.

The D2xs features ’s acclaimed Mutli-CAM2000 high-speed AF system, with eleven autofocus sensors — nine of which are cross-type and placed in the rule of thirds layout. The D2xs offers improved subject acquisition and tracking as well as a new option for controlling the duration of Lock-On(TM) focus tracking, making it easier to adjust for shooting
different types of scenes and action.

New Image Rendering and Menu Options

With a combination of powerful image-processing technologies and ’s exclusive 1,005 3D-Color Matrix Metering II, the D2xs makes it possible to capture beautiful 2.4- that meet and exceed professional ’ needs for larger files that are rich in detail, color and smooth tonal range. The D2xs has also been refined so demanding can take advantage of ’s 3D-Color Matrix Metering II even in the High-Speed Crop mode. Professional will appreciate the ability to select Adobe RGB in any of the three color modes — making it possible to work with a wider range of colors to match highly diverse assignments and workflow environments, while ideally complementing the NEF file. In-camera creative possibilities are extended even further through the addition of a new Black & White (sRGB) color mode.

shooting in RAW (NEF) will have the ability to shoot in and still retain the color information in the RAW image data, allowing them to easily reverse a image to color using ’s new Capture NX software.

RAW and JPEG taken using the D2xs can be trimmed within the camera to produce of reduced display sizes ranging from 640 x 480 to 2,560 x 1,920 pixels. The resulting smaller files can help improve workflow efficiency by eliminating the time required to download and perform software editing within a computer.

New ISO sensitivity options offer greater convenience to who work under constantly changing lighting conditions such as weddings. A new Auto ISO feature allows to maintain a specific while letting the camera automatically select an appropriate ISO setting, within a predefined range of sensitivities, based on the existing lighting conditions. This feature helps achieve optimum exposure while freeing the to concentrate on composition. ISO sensitivity can also be manually set between ISO-equivalent 100 and 800 in increments of 1/3 EV, or boosted using HI-0.3, HI-0.5, HI-0.7, HI-1 or HI-2 settings when high sensitivity is a priority. The 3 settings between 800 and HI-1 are newly added to give the D2xs finer control over sensitivity.

Refined Ergonomics and Design

The D2xs body is consistent with the exterior styling of the D2-series, adopted from a design created by famed industrial designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro*. The body is proportionate and well balanced, with a well designed interface that is intuitive and seamless.

The D2xs improves upon its predecessor’s energy efficient design, and when combined with the newly developed high-energy EN-EL4a rechargeable lithium-ion , the camera boasts an unprecedented 3,800** shots per charge. ’s highly sophisticated, real-time Fuel Gauge system in the D2xs allows to determine the precise level of remaining charge, number of shots taken per charge and the overall life of the — all at the touch of a button.

A new 2.5-inch, 235,000 dot LCD monitor in the D2xs allows a 170-degree wide viewing angle, and is individually calibrated at the factory to ensure consistent color fidelity. The D2xs also features a new color scheme for menu displays.

Expanded Software Options

The D2xs features a unique Image Authentication feature that, when used with ’s new Image Authentication Software, marks the authentication of an image captured by the camera and can determine whether or not it has been altered since capture. Image data is a critical link in the “chain of evidence” for verifying image authenticity, and D2xs’s hardware and software-based image authentication solution allows easy, secure authentication of for a wide range of requirements. The softwareenables verification of JPEGS, TIFF and NEF (RAW) taken with the D2xs.

A new remote control software called Camera Control Pro is also available for the D2xs, enabling unprecedented remote control operation of many camera functions from a personal computer. Camera Control Pro software is the next generation of camera control software, previously bundled with ’s Capture 4 software, and features substantial advanced features that offer limitless creativity to who need to control their camera remotely. Camera Control Pro can control the D2xs remotely tethering a high-speed USB cable or optional WT-2a wireless transmitter.

The D2xs is also compatible with ’s soon-to-be-released Capture NX(TM) software — a highly versatile yet elegantly simple editing solution that provides easy, yet powerful and visually intuitive image-editing and enhancement tools. With Capture NX, will be able to tap into the full potential of D2xs’s RAW (NEF) files, while also apply powerful image processing and editing tools to JPEG and TIFF files.

The D2xs will be available from authorized retailers in late June for an estimated street price of $4699.95***. For more information, please visit http://www..com

21 Sep 08 The Switch From Film to Digital Camera: Making the Adjustment

Author: Christine Peppler

From all of the books, advertisements, and products in stores it would appear that no one continues to use a camera. This isn’t true of course. Although a can offer much greater control during the editing process and perhaps even a cost savings over the long run, a traditional camera still has advantages for some consumers. One of those being that if their camera is a good one and meets their needs, there is no reason to change.

However, for those who do decide to switch to a there will be significant differences to which they must adjust. Certainly the technology behind a makes them different; how are captured and stored, the themselves, pixels, , and so forth. But there are a handful of basic changes to which even those who on a very limited and casual basis will need to adapt.

Response Time

With a more affordable, point-and-shoot type there can be a significant delay between pressing the button and the camera actually taking the . These cameras are somewhat like a small computer. During the lag time it is focusing but this can cause some great shots to be missed.

Of course, spending the time to shop for a camera with less lag time is one solution; and certainly many of the more expense models don’t suffer this issue. However, there is a simple adjustment which can produce a significant reduction in the lag time. The can set up the shot, aim the camera at the subject, and press the button down half way and hold it. At this point, the will begin the process of focusing. Then, a couple of seconds or more later, when the and subject are ready, the button is depressed entirely and the is taken almost immediately. Obviously, this requires the to anticipate and prepare before taking a shot.

Life

Because much of what a does consumes energy from the , they are known to drain very quickly. One of the particularly power greedy functions unique to a is that of powering an . Again there are a number of things users can do to assure they don’t run out of power and to reduce the rate at which the camera uses the energy.

To avoid a trickling discharge, should be removed from the camera when the device won’t be used for more that a week or two and, likewise, a should be powered off if the user doesn’t anticipate taking a shot for another 30 minutes or so. Using the “sleep mode” is good also, to assure that even if the user forgets, the camera gets powered off.

Using the instead of the to frame shots is wise when you wish to save power. Users can also avoid using whenever their subject is more than 12 feet or so away, since the will be ineffective anyway and drain power needlessly. Those traveling with a also need to be sure to carry a backup to avoid problems.

A final recommendation is to use other power sources when possible. Use AC power when performing various functions such as downloading or use a card reader to download from the cards and remove the camera from the process entirely. can be edited on the computer rather than on the camera to save additional power.

The Viewing System

A often has an optical which is separate from the lens through which the camera takes the . Thus, when a subject is somewhat near, what a sees, and what the camera sees are two different things. Using the LCD to frame a shot is also difficult because in order to see the screen, the camera is held away from the body, making it difficult to hold the camera steady for a good shot. The fix for this is to use the “correction marks” visible through the which approximate the border of the image that the camera is seeing versus using the . This also allows the user to keep the camera closer to the body in a steady fashion.

Another option is to buy a camera with an electronic which takes the image captured by the lens, and electronically transfers it to a display screen allowing the user to accurately frame the . Use of an electronic however will increase power consumption.

The third option is to buy a with a TTL mechanism. With TTL, the views a scene through the same lens that records the image and is thus able to frame a scene accurately. This option however is generally available only on more expensive .

Despite these differences, do offer some tremendous advantages; from being able to view instantly, edit them, print them at home, share them easily on the internet, and so forth which make them worth the small effort to adjust to their unique characteristics.

21 Sep 08 How to Make Your Digital Camera Batteries Last Longer

Author: Mitz

A few years ago I started selling on Ebay, Which in turn, demanded the use of a . I would take at least 50 a day, and sometimes up to 100. You would not believe how many I went through until I realised how to save and preserve my precious life. Take it from me, I never loose that great opportunity because my have unexpectedly run out.

Get the right for your

I was lucky because my came with a lithium rechargeable and also took AA rechargeable also. However, since I was a total amateur with , I promptly ruined the lithium by not letting it run out properly before charging it again. Now I just use Ni-MH AA rechargeable with at least a mAh rating of 2300. I have had rechargeable that had a rating of 1600 and they were absolutely hopeless!!! You must have rechargeable , wether it be a nickel cadmium, lithium ion or lithium polymer .

Turn off your on your
As I was taking in broad daylight, there was no need to use my . Not only did it ruin the with a bright glow, but it consumed my power like a hungry animal. To find out how to turn the camera off I had to search the internet as I had lost my user manual.

Using the was a big power user

I quickly learned that instead of browsing through the on the camera, I would wait until I had transferred them to the computer. The little harmless on the back of most is a total power hog.

Also if you do not need the on, your will last so much longer. Don’t forget that you can still look through the to take a (like they used to in the good old days). Also see how to clean your

Use your Power Saving Mode

Turn on your power saving mode for your . It almost works like a screensaver and can put your camera in sleep mode if left on by accident. It is usually a simple setting in the menu of your camera.

Avoid zooming in and out.

If you were just playing with your and started zooming in and out constantly, your would be dead within 10 minutes, whereas they would usually last 2-3 hours. They may even be dead flat within 5 minutes, depending on what type of you have.

Taking video clips with your

This is a big power user. The camera is made for digital stills and usually has the extra feature of being albe to take video clips. Not only does it take up room on your space, but it also uses your power

very quickly. If you do plan to take video clips with your you should be sure that you have more on hand. I usually take videos with the leftover power I have left when I have finished taking all the I need.

In cold weather, keep your camera and warm in your jacket until you are ready to use them. The cold drains very quickly.

Carry spare at all times

Why risk loosing that great opportunity because your in your just happen to run out. Carry a spare set of , it’s not rock science. For example, at one of my children’s sports day carnivals, another mother had to ask me to take of her child as well as mine, as her in her camera just died unexpectedly. Because she was not prepared, she had to trust that I would catch that special moment for her child.
