The electronic circuitry has also been altered, to help cut noise.<\/p>\n<p>Equivalent ISO sensitivity ranges from 200-12,800. However, this can be boosted to &#8216;102400&#8217; in a move designed to aid shooting in light situations so poor that subjects cannot be seen clearly.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon claims the camera is effective when used &#8216;handheld at night&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The camera sensor is so sensitive that it can capture subjects that are practically invisible to the naked eye and render results that are remarkably clean of noise and ready for print,&#8217; said a spokesman.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon has also tweaked the AF algorithms to help speed-up AF and tracking.<\/p>\n<p>The D3s features an &#8216;HD&#8217; (1,280&#215;720 pixel) movie option at 24 frames per second, with contrast detection AF to enable autofocus when shooting videos and when using Live View.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon has added a dedicated button on the back to activate Live View.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;An extra bonus for sports and spot news photographers is the ability to save selected movie frames as JPEGs (in the same resolution as the video), for immediate print and web publishing needs,&#8217; added a spokesman.<\/p>\n<p>The D3s includes a connection for an external microphone. <\/p>\n<p>Improvements over the D3 include an Image Sensor Cleaning function that generates vibrations at four specific frequencies to &#8216;optimise dust removal&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The D3s also boasts additional in-camera raw image file processing options, such as the ability to alter white balance and apply picture controls before conversion to a JPEG file.<\/p>\n<p>Armoury includes an in-camera chromatic aberration reduction aimed at correcting colour fringes which, explains Nikon, can sometimes appear at the edges between different subject elements.<\/p>\n<p>Nikon has boosted the camera&#8217;s buffer memory to twice that of the D3, to help speed-up the photographer&#8217;s workflow when out on assignment, and help in continuous shooting mode. It is designed to shoot 124 JPEG as a continuous burst.<\/p>\n<p>Following feedback from D3 users, Nikon has added a new Quiet Shutter mode to the D3s which should be useful for wildlife photography, for example.<\/p>\n<p>And a new &#8216;1.2x&#8217; crop option has been added to enable users to create 30:20 format images, at a resolution of around 8.4MP. This is in addition to the 5:4 (30&#215;24) and DX (24&#215;16) crops options.<\/p>\n<p>Differences over the D3 also include the ability to use the electronic virtual horizon in Live View shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The camera&#8217;s six Active D-Lighting options also now include an Auto and &#8216;Extra high&#8217; setting.<\/p>\n<p>The D3s is due in December carry a UK price of \u00a34199.99.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Nikon_D3s_hands_on_first_look_news_290498.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read our exclusive Nikon D3s hands-on preview here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Nikon_D3s_UK_press_launch_video_preview_news_290514.html\" target=\"_blank\">Watch our UK press launch video here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Nikon_D3s_camera_primed_for_shots_in_the_dark_news_290494.html?offset=&amp;offset=1\" target=\"_blank\">Nikon D3s full specification<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/search\/results.php?category=1092&amp;search=nikon+d3&amp;sort=relevance&amp;Submit=Go\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<h2>Read all our Nikon D3 stories here<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/search\/results.php?search=nikon\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<h2>Read all our Nikon news stories here<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidePageBreak\"><\/span>NIKON D3s SPECIFICATION<\/p>\n<p>Nikon Digital SLR Camera D3S specification, as supplied by Nikon UK:<\/p>\n<p>Type Single-lens reflex digital camera<\/p>\n<p>Lens Mount Nikon F mount (with AF coupling and AF contacts)<\/p>\n<p>Picture Angle Equivalent to angle produced by lens focal length (1.5 times when DX format is selected)<\/p>\n<p>Effective Pixels<\/p>\n<p> Effective Pixels 12.1 million<\/p>\n<p>Image Sensor<\/p>\n<p>Image Sensor CMOS sensor, 36.0 \u00d7 23.9 mm; Nikon FX format<\/p>\n<p>Total Pixels 12.87 million<\/p>\n<p>Dust-reduction System Image Sensor Cleaning, Image Dust Off reference data (optional Capture NX 2 software required)<\/p>\n<p>Storage<\/p>\n<p>Image Size (pixels)<\/p>\n<p>Image area Large Medium Small<\/p>\n<p>FX format (36\u00d724) 4,256 \u00d7 2,832 3,184 \u00d7 2,120 2,128 \u00d7 1,416<\/p>\n<p>1.2\u00d7 (30\u00d720) 3,552 \u00d7 2,368 2,656 \u00d7 1,776 1,776 \u00d7 1,184<\/p>\n<p>DX format (24\u00d716) 2,784 \u00d7 1,848 2,080 \u00d7 1,384 1,392 \u00d7 920<\/p>\n<p>5:4 (30\u00d724) 3,552 \u00d7 2,832 2,656 \u00d7 2,120 1,776 \u00d7 1,416<\/p>\n<p>File Format 1) NEF (RAW): 12 or 14 bit, lossless compressed, compressed, or uncompressed,<\/p>\n<p>2) TIFF (RGB),<\/p>\n<p>3) JPEG: JPEG-Baseline compliant with fine (approx. 1:4), normal (approx. 1:8), or basic (approx. 1:16) compression (Size priority); Optimal quality compression available,<\/p>\n<p>4) NEF (RAW) + JPEG: Single photograph recorded in both NEF (RAW) and JPEG formats<\/p>\n<p>Picture Control System Four setting options: Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome; each option can be adjusted<\/p>\n<p>Storage Media CompactFlash (Type I, compliant with UDMA)<\/p>\n<p>Double Slot Slot 2 can be used for overflow or backup storage or for separate storage of NEF (RAW) and JPEG images; pictures can be copied between cards<\/p>\n<p>File System Compliant with DCF 2.0, DPOF, Exif 2.21, and PictBridge<\/p>\n<p>Viewfinder<\/p>\n<p>Viewfinder Eye-level pentaprism single-lens reflex viewfinder<\/p>\n<p>Frame Coverage FX (36&#215;24): Approx. 100% (vertical\/horizontal), 1.2x (30&#215;20): Approx. 97% (vertical\/horizontal), DX (24&#215;16): Approx. 97% (vertical\/horizontal), 5:4 (30&#215;24): Approx. 100% (vertical) and approx. 97% (horizontal)<\/p>\n<p>Magnification Approx. 0.7x (50mm f\/1.4 lens at infinity; -1.0 m-1)<\/p>\n<p>Eyepoint 18 mm (-1.0 m-1)<\/p>\n<p>Diopter Adjustment -3 to +1 m-1<\/p>\n<p>Focusing Screen Type B BriteView Clear Matte VI screen with AF area brackets<\/p>\n<p>Reflex Mirror Quick return<\/p>\n<p>Depth-of-field Preview When Pv (depth-of-field preview) button is pressed, lens aperture can be stopped down to value selected by user (A and M modes) or value selected by camera (P and S modes)<\/p>\n<p>Lens Aperture Instant return, electronically controlled<\/p>\n<p>Lens<\/p>\n<p>Compatible Lenses 1) Type G or D AF NIKKOR*1: All functions supported (PC Micro-NIKKOR does not support some functions), 2) DX NIKKOR: All functions supported except FX-format (36&#215;24)\/1.2x (30\u00d720)\/5:4 (30&#215;24) image size, 3) Other AF NIKKOR*2: All functions supported except 3D color matrix metering II, 4) AI-P NIKKOR: All functions supported except autofocus and 3D color matrix metering II, 5) Non-CPU: Can be used in exposure modes A and M; color matrix metering and aperture value display supported if user provides lens data (AI lenses only)<\/p>\n<p>Electronic rangefinder can be used if maximum aperture is f\/5.6 or faster<\/p>\n<p>*1.
