Manufacturer Description
Are you looking for a real
digital SLR thats easy to use? Do you want mobility without
sacrificing capability? Would you like simple operation and enough
features to step forward creatively? If so, then get to know the Nikon
D60. Now you can experience the best of both worlds: enjoy one-button
simplicity with Auto, or try many exciting levels of creative control.
There is room for everyone to explore the thrill and magic of
photography. Have fun, and dont worry -- its a Nikon.
Built on 90 years of optical expertise and decades of award-winning
camera designs, the Nikon family of cameras covers every type of
picture-taker -- from seasoned professionals to travelers on vacation.
The D60 is the latest example of Nikon innovation, transforming complex
technology into a fun, powerful and easy-to-use camera. Nikon delivers
the cutting-edge technologies you would expect from a digital SLR --
fast response, creative versatility, and breathtaking image quality --
while eliminating complications and frustrations so that taking
pictures is enjoyable and stress-free. With 10.2 megapixels, the D60s
image sensor delivers high-resolution pictures with rich, faithful
color and detail that are ready for stunning enlargements. It also
gives you the freedom to crop pictures exactly as you want them. And
with Nikons 3D Color Matrix Metering II, you can expect beautifully
exposed pictures under almost any lighting condition, with Nikons
original digital image processing concept, EXPEED, comprehensively
optimizing your pictures, shot after shot.
Nikon D60 Digital SLR Highlights
Nikon Integrated Dust Reduction System
Dust in front of your camera sensor can mean distracting spots on your
pictures. Thats why Nikon does everything to ensure clear pictures,
including minimizing the build-up and appearance of dust. Nikons
exclusive Airflow Control System is one of the two main protections
against dust. It leads air within the mirror box towards small ducts
near the base, preventing internal dust from settling in front of the
image sensor. The D60s second form of defense is the Imaging Sensor
Cleaning function, which was originally built for the D300. Every time
you turn the camera on or off, this function uses vibrations to steer
dust away from the optical low-pass filter in front of the sensor
(deactivation and manual activation are also possible). Nikon engineers
have also dealt with dust and other tiny particles in many other ways
to prevent such image degrading material from attaching to the filter
or being seen by the sensor when you are taking pictures. With all
these measures in place, you can concentrate on getting the shot while
exploring the wide array of Nikkor interchangeable lenses that a Nikon
digital SLR opens up to you.
Rich, Smooth Detail with Active D-Lighting
Sometimes, even a perfectly exposed scene will not render an ideal
photograph. With difficult lighting conditions, important details can
be lost in the highlights and shadows. But with Nikons Active
D-Lighting, the D60 can correct these exposure issues instantly and
automatically, while you shoot. Simply set Active D-Lighting before you
start shooting. Active D-Lighting is available when "Matrix" is
selected for metering.
Eye Sensor The Eye Sensor
activates every time you look through the viewfinder, turning off the
information display on the LCD for comfortable shooting.
Compact, Light and Comfortable
The D60 is compact, light and ready to go wherever life takes you. The
D60s size is not the only factor to consider; its shape is
ergonomically designed to fit in your hand naturally and comfortably.
Nikons experienced engineers know that operating a camera shouldnt
distract you. Thats why each button and texture on the cameras
exterior has been carefully considered for the most efficient and fluid
operation possible.
The D60s bright, clear optical
viewfinder is also designed with the user in mind, its helpful
indicators and intuitive icons helping you achieve ideal composition
with the optimal settings.
Nikons Intelligent Built-in Flash -- Simply Brilliant
Proper flash lighting used to require skill, time and patience. With
the D60, however, flash photography is simple, instant and accurate.
Thanks to Nikons cutting-edge i-TTL flash technology, all the
complicated calculations happen automatically, giving you balanced
flash illumination under almost any conditions, even difficult lighting
situations such as backlit subjects. With Auto mode, you just point,
shoot and let the camera do the rest. Its that simple.
Display Format Options
The information display in the 2.5-inch LCD monitor lets you check
essential camera information quickly and easily. Choose whatever
display format fits your taste best: each of the Graphic and Classic
formats have three color variations to suit your preferences, while
Wallpaper uses one of your own pictures as the background. Graphic
format uses visual displays to show shutter speed and aperture, as well
as the mode dial every time you turn it to a new setting. The D60 even
recognizes whether you are holding the camera horizontally or
vertically, and then automatically displays camera information on the
LCD monitor accordingly.
Intuitive Menu Navigation
The D60 lets you alter settings and functions in many ways. For all the
choices it offers, the menu is still amazingly simple and intuitive,
with navigation made easy thanks to a carefully considered design. If
you are ever unsure about a specific feature or function, simply press
the O button for detailed information. Its like having an onboard
instructor to answer your questions. The D60s convenient assist images
help you select appropriate camera settings. These useful reference
images help explain the effect that each function has on your photos --
very helpful for exploring new features and making the most of the
camera.
Creative shooting is just a quick turn away
With the D60, you will always be prepared to shoot a wide variety of
subject matter. Just turn the mode dial to fit your shooting situation
and beautiful results are yours instantly.
Quick responses, captured moments
Amazing moments can pass by quickly, but the D60s fast 0.19-second
startup, split-second shooting time lag and fast, accurate autofocus
capture more of these moments with precision. The cameras high-speed
continuous shooting also helps capture fast-moving action at up to 3
pictures per second for as many as 100 (JPEG) pictures.
A wide variety of in-camera Retouch Menus
Even after a picture is taken, the D60 offers ways to explore your
creativity further. With a wide range of options to choose from, the
quick, simple and extensive Retouch Menu allows you to create a
duplicate image with amazing photo effects, leaving the original
picture intact. And its all done in-camera -- without the need for a
computer.
The right touch -- Quick Retouch Sometimes
you want to make sure that your picture has the best balance of
contrast and saturation. For this, choose the Quick Retouch feature. It
creates an automatically retouched copy that has been optimized for
better-looking pictures.
Original animation -- Stop-motion Movie
Want more fun out of digital photography? Try making a stop-motion
movie from a series of consecutive pictures. Simply select the first
and last frames from a sequence of shots. You can easily re-edit before
saving it as a movie by changing the starting image or removing
specific images. There are also several size and frame rates to choose
from.
Expect much more from your pictures -- In-camera NEF (RAW) Processing
Nikons NEF (RAW) format lets you enjoy an incredible amount of
creative freedom and control over camera settings -- even after the
actual shot is taken. If time is tight or you are unsure of which
setting to use, its even possible to shoot first with NEF (RAW) and
make adjustments later. Thats right: you can take pictures, and then
change the image quality, image size, white balance or even exposure
compensation. All operations are quick, simple and do not require a
computer.
Explore further -- Filter Effects The D60s
Filter Effects let you experiment with color and light. Each of the
Red/Green/Blue Intensifier effects let you enhance the color of your
choice. Try the Cross Screen feature to create starbursts radiating
from scene highlights. For other options, use Color Balance to modify
the entire image, or experiment with Skylight and Warm Filters.
