Custom Settings menus

The size, layout and operation of each customizable button, control and

function is designed for intuitive operation and feedback, minimizing the need to

remove the eye from the viewfinder while shooting. This combines with instant,

predictable response to free the photographer to concentrate on composition.

Operation remains consistently comfortable for either horizontal or vertical

orientation. The convenient Function button on the front of the body can be

programmed for simpler switching such as in and out of High-speed Crop mode

when using continuous shooting.

The eye-level viewfinder features frame coverage of virtually 100% and a

19.9mm eyepoint. Information bars along the bottom and right edges display

the current white balance mode, image quality and size settings, ISO setting

and more. Updated for the D2Xs, the viewfinder also features an improved view

within the High-speed Crop mode frame for faster and easier composition.

Ergonomic design and button layout

The D2Xs’s new 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD with up to 27x magnification

permits effective evaluation of sharpness, expression and exposure, and quick

confirmation of exposure using the Histogram or RGB Histogram displays.

The color-coded menu displays and large type have been refined for easier

recognition and access. The top and rear control panels are also designed to

convey essential status and settings information at a glance.

Valuable feedback from information displays

Magnesium alloy body with enhanced sealing system

Housed in a lightweight yet highly durable magnesium alloy body, the D2Xs is built

to perform reliably under the tough working conditions of professional photographic

assignments. Nikon’s enhanced sealing system protects every possible seam and

exposed part, making the body resistant to dust and drops of water.

A new locking mechanism holds the USB cable’s connector securely and prevents

it from being accidentally pulled out of the USB port.

Lithium-ion battery system with even greater power

The new EN-EL4a rechargeable lithium-ion battery retains the same form,

but features significantly increased capacity that delivers enough power for

up to 3,800 shots per charge. It can be recharged at any time or any level,

features extended service life, and performs well at low temperatures. The

system’s real-time status display gives accurate feedback on the percentage

of remaining battery charge, the number of shots taken since the last charge,

the overall status of service life, as well as notification when calibration is

recommended. The D2Xs can also be powered by EN-EL4 batteries, and EN-EL4a

batteries are compatible with earlier Nikon D2 series cameras.

Mechanical systems throughout the camera are enhanced to fully support the

speed, precision and durability required by professionals. The double-bladed

shutter unit, refined from the field-proven systems on high-end Nikon SLRs, is

tested to well over 150,000 cycles. It employs a mirror balance mechanism that

completes its motion cycle and reaches a full stop with virtually no mirror bounce,

achieving maximum stability and speed as well as smoother AF detection.

Proven shutter unit for reliability and speed

Smooth control and usability Performance you can trust

Custom Settings menus are grouped according to basic features for fast and

easy access. Up to 4 complete selections of Custom Settings can be stored

in the camera’s memory bank, allowing instant switching to the optimized

selection for the given assignment.

In addition to displaying the last 8 settings made using the Shooting menus

and Custom Settings menus, further evolution of the Recent Settings list adds

the ability to delete the current settings, or lock them to prevent accidental

changes. A new menu option also allows camera settings to be saved to or

loaded from a memory card, making it convenient to share settings between

D2Xs cameras that will be used in similar conditions.

A new feature available from the Shooting menu is the ability to download up

to 3 custom tone curves for a wider range of gamma choice to accommodate

the diverse demands of different assignments.

Menus that maximize practicality and versatility

“Every decision I make as a photographer impacts the

outcome of an image. The D2Xs handles intuitively and

makes excellent technical decisions for me so I can

focus on the dynamics of the image.”

Vic Huber

Uncompromising craftsmanship and optimum in-ﬁeld efﬁciency

Understanding the importance of intuitive handling and tough reliability in the field, Nikon designed every button, control and

function for maximum ease of access, intuitive operation, handling efficiency and reliability. Meet the professional digital SLR

solution truly equipped to extend creative freedom and business productivity; the Nikon D2Xs.
