Also for wildlife and sports photographers, the Group AF point feature that was introduced with the Nikon D4S, also makes an appearance in the D810. When in the DX crop mode, the 51 AF points actually cover almost the entire frame, which makes the camera a interesting option for wildlife photographers, particularly as the cropped files are still 15.3-million pixels in size. The AF system hasn’t been forgotten the 51 point AF system has also been improved, with the new system sensitive down to -2EV. With a lower contrast it should leave more detail in highlight and shadow areas for post processing, and Nikon were particularly keen to push its use for video grading purposes. Those who want a very neutral, low contrast image as the initial starting point for editing will be pleased with this mode. The next image addition is the new Flat image style. Nikon claims that this was requested by animators and those who shoot time-lapse video footage. These 12-bit uncompressed Nikon NEF files that are a quarter of the resolution and half the file size of a standard raw file. Obviously the 36.3 million-pixel sensor creates very large files, and those who want the flexibility of raw images, but without the need for the resolution, will be pleased with the introduction of the new raw Size S files. This should allow photographers to create smoother images or to increase local contrast to create a more HDR style effect, particularly when combined with Nikon’s Active D Lighting. The works by adjusting the micro-contrast in an image, in much the same was as it does in Adobe Photoshop products. The two main ones are the addition of a new Clarity control setting with the Picture Style controls. The new Kevlar and carbon fibre-composite shutter unit has a 52 ms shutter lag time, and retains the 200k shutter actuation life of the Nikon D800.īesides the improved noise reduction, there are other new additions to images themselves.
With this in mind there is also a new electronic front curtain shutter mode, which those wanting to squeeze every last ounce of detail will benefit from. Anything that can be done to help reduce shutter slap is a real benefit to photographers, particularly those who shoot macro or long exposure images. With a 36.3-million-pixel sensor, any slight movement, be it camera shake or shutter vibration can be noticeable. These have been completely redeveloped, not only to help the camera’s shooting rate, but also to make quieter and with less vibrations. What will be noticeable is the the improvements to the shutter and sequencer mechanisms.
However, we will have to put the camera through our real world tests to see if there is much noticeable difference. Nikon claim that under CIPA testing conditions the 1900 mAh EL-15a battery can capture up to 1,200 still images. Importantly for those who use the camera heavily, the new sensor is also more efficient, which should help to improve battery life. Auto white balance is also said to be improved, as well as a 1fps faster shooting rate of 5fps, or 7fps if shooting in the 1.5x crop DX mode. With better processing the Nikon D810 offers improved noise levels compared to its predecessors. The Nikon D810 uses the same Expeed 4 processor as the recent Nikon D4S
#NIKON D810 NEW FULL#
This mode shows a full view of the scene on one side and a magnified pull-up on the other. To make it easier to frame and focus images, a new split image view is available. Those who wish to adjust the colour of the screen can now tweak the colour balance and white balance to their preferred tone. The addition of the white pixel should increase brightness, contrast and colour rendition. It remains 3.2-inches in size, but the change from an RGB array, to and RGBW array has increased the resolution from 921k dots to 1,229k dots. A slightly larger handgrip has been added, and new locations found for the bracketing and metering buttons to make them easier to access. Although the body remains largely the same there have been some tweaks. Like its predecessors the D810 is made from magnesium alloy and is fully weather sealed, with the memory card door now made of rubber, rather than the plastic used on the D800 and D800E. Heralded by Nikon as providing the ‘Highest image quality in Nikon history’ the new Nikon D810 is a refinement of the excellent D800 and D800E DSLRs it replaces.
