Peake, who is set to embark on a six-month mission on board the ISS tomorrow, revealed that he had tuition on how to use the Nikon D4 last year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Had great lesson on Nikon D4 camera & how best to use some of the lenses onboard #ISS for those all important photos!\u2019 Peake tweeted in 2014, adding a photo<\/a> showing how the camera is protected for spacewalks.<\/p>\n

\"tim.peake.nikond4<\/a>In September, Peake explained on Facebook<\/a> that astronauts mainly use Nikon D4 cameras and a selection of lenses on the ISS.<\/p>\n

Peake, from Chichester in West Sussex, will be on a Russian rocket that is due to blast off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists this morning, ahead of his expected 173 days in orbit, Peake said he was looking forward to a \u2018fantastic\u2019<\/a> view of Earth.<\/p>\n

The Nikon D4 boasts a shooting rate of up to 11 frames per second and was claimed to set a new benchmark in low-light performance at the time of its launch in 2012.<\/p>\n

In January, it will be four years since Nikon first announced the 16.2-milion-pixel D4, ahead of the 2012 Olympics in the summer of that year.<\/p>\n

Last month<\/a>, Nikon confirmed it was working on the first of its next generation of FX-format DSLRs \u2013 the D5.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Nikon is also due to launch a new flagship flashgun, the Speedlight SB-5000 and wireless transmitter, the WT-6.<\/p>\n

The launch date of the D5 has yet to be decided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
