Capture images with your own customized look and feel
Innovative, versatile Picture Control
Define tones and colors easily
The D700 provides rich tones and colors in the default
setting, but also gives you the freedom to custom tailor
image characteristics to your own specific tastes or client
requirements. Picture Control is an intuitive, easy-to-use
system for defining the image tone. In certain respects, it
is reminiscent of the way in which film photographers once
selected certain types of film stock for specific shooting
situations. Tones defined by the Picture Control System will
remain consistent with future Nikon digital SLR cameras that
are compatible with Picture Control System. You'll also have
access to optional Picture Controls to be introduced in the
future via the Nikon Website.
Four types of Picture Controls
Select [Standard] for bright, balanced images suitable for
any application. [Neutral] is designed to reproduce accurate
color and gradation, making it your choice when you plan to
make post-production image enhancements. [Vivid] delivers
distinct, colorful, fresh-looking images with just the right
emphasis on your subject's contrast and contours, making
it ideal for emphasizing primary colors, while [Monochrome]
provides classic styles like black-and-white and sepia. You
can even edit or change the Picture Controls using Nikon's
ViewNX browsing software, or with the optional Capture NX
2 with U Point technology — something no other camera
manufacturer offers.
Direct, intuitive image control
[Standard], [Neutral], and [Vivid] enable you to adjust
parameters such as sharpening, contrast, brightness,
saturation and hue. With [Monochrome], you can fine-tune
sharpening, contrast, brightness, filter effects and toning.
Changes can be saved as Custom Picture Controls under
your chosen name for future use with particular shooting
scenarios.
Quick adjust: Enjoy instant access to five parameters — sharpening,
contrast, brightness, saturation and hue in [Standard] and [Vivid]
Picture Controls. It's all as easy as moving the sliders.

Simple to use yet sophisticated: Nikon's Creative Lighting System
Built-in flash with 24mm lens
coverage and i-TTL flash control
The D700 is fully
compatible with Nikon's
unmatched Creative
Lighting System, which

system. Utilizing the 1,005-pixel RGB sensor
for a more refined flash metering evaluation,
this system reduces overexposure to
a degree never before achieved, even
with small subjects, which can easily be
overexposed. Metering accuracy for scenes
containing highly reflective objects has also
been substantially advanced. The built-in
flash has 24mm lens coverage, and works
