Spot-on shooting

Quick, sharp, precise autofocus
Nikon's impressively fast CX-format AF
CMOS image sensor ensures that every
picture you take is spot-on, and every
movie looks smooth and natural.
Designed to deliver the ideal balance of
speed, light sensitivity, resolution, and
depth of fi eld, the sensor ensures you
can shoot clearer action shots, take better
photos in low light, and easily soften
backgrounds to make your subject stand
out more.
The super-high-speed autofocus system
works by instantly selecting the AF type
that best suits the situation. For fast-
moving subjects, or when you're shooting
movies, it will choose the 73-point phase-
detection AF. To pick out details in low
light or focus accurately near the edge
of the frame, it switches to the 135-point
contrast-detect AF.
The result is that your subject snaps into
focus incredibly quickly, whether you're
taking a candid portrait as the daylight
fades, or fi lming the action under bright
sunlight.
