Fast, versatile and fully connected, the sophisticated Nikon D7200 delivers sumptuous stills and excels at video. Availability: 19 th March Pricing: Please refer to Australian authorised resellers for local pricing With a host of features inherited from Nikon s renowned FX models, the Nikon D7200 has plenty to offer avid photographers. Delivering exceptional performance and innovative imaging solutions, the Nikon D7200 combines a pioneering and seamless connectivity feature with first class function, design and build within a lightweight DSLR system. In a first for a DX camera, the Nikon D7200 enables precise subject acquisition down to -3 EV, thanks to its autofocus system inherited from Nikon s legendary professional cameras. Combined with the camera s wide ISO range and fast burst rates, dark scenes are sharp and clear and footage of night time video scenes exceeds expectations. To enrich the Nikon DX experience for photographers, the 24.2-megapixel DSLR, coupled with the EXPEED 4 image-processing engine and a Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor delivers an impressive experience of vivid photos and HD videos with lower noise at high ISO, and superior image processing speeds. The Nikon D7200 takes the journey further by introducing the innovative Tap to Share feature to Nikon DSLRs for the first time with Near Field Communication (NFC)-support* 2. Now users can choose whether to transfer impressive stills to a smart device via NFC or the built in Wi-Fi connectivity* 1. 1
D7200 Primary Features 1. Exciting journeys, stunning images Standout performance: With the incorporation of an EXPEED 4 image-processing engine, colours and fine details are accurately captured, ensuring consistent performance whether taking beautiful portraits with natural luminous skin tones or gorgeous cityscapes. Images are clear, sharp, and defined with this 24.2 megapixel shooter, perfect for subjects that require fine detail rendering such as foliage or breathtaking landscapes. An ISO range of 100 to 25600 is achieved with the EXPEED 4 image-processing engine, which also provides improved noise reduction performance, while maintaining image definition at high ISO. Should photographers wish to shoot monochrome masterpieces, the ISO range can be further extended to Hi BW 1 (equivalent to ISO 51200) and Hi BW 2 (equivalent to ISO 102400). Picture perfect creations: Further aiding in the quest for image perfection and refinement, and minimising countless hours of post-processing, is the Picture Control option of Flat. The Flat option allows overblown highlights, shadows or colour saturation to be effectively suppressed even after image adjustment, achieving rich gradation in both brightness and colour. Further flexible adjustments such as Clarity, lets photographers adjust the crispness of still images while maintaining details and saturation of the subject. 2
Artistic inspirations: Embrace creative expression with the Special Effects modes enabling immediate confirmation of results during shooting for both still images and movies. Injecting creativity and fun into every shot is made possible with variable options such as Night Vision, Colour Sketch, Miniature Effect, Selective Colour, and others, all of which can be visualised in real time, before shots are captured. 2. Meeting expectations of demanding environments Built for the best: Solid and sturdy with a practical design both inside and out, the Nikon D7200 is designed to be your constant shooting companion. A magnesium alloy has been incorporated into the top and rear covers for durability and superior texture, keeping the camera light yet strong, while a comprehensively-sealed body protects the camera from dust and water droplets. Size matters: Photographers demanding outstanding performance need not sacrifice on size and weight. The top-tier DX-format performance ideally fits in a body that is compact in size and weight with approximately 1,250g when combined with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6g ED VR lens, and its EN-EL15 battery. Nikon s understanding of photographers needs has led to the development of a system focused on functionality and efficiency, allowing them to pack smarter and maximise space. Ready for anything: The Nikon D7200 is an adaptable shooter, capable of delivering smooth performance in a variety of challenging conditions. Lowlight photography - often a deterrent for some compositions in dark environments, is made easy with the 51 focus points of the new Advanced Multi-CAM 3500 II autofocus sensor module, first adopted by the Nikon D750. Superior low-light performance is further enhanced with an expanded AF detection range down to -3EV. With the AF detection range down to - 3 EV for the single central focus point, and at -2 EV or below (above -3 EV) with the other 50 points, the freedom to shoot low-light and low-contrast scenes has been remarkably boosted. The DSLR makes a perfect outdoor companion as one enjoys the spectacular northern lights or explores the subterranean passageways of a cave. 3
Greater viewing pleasure: The optical viewfinder is the perfect framing aid with approximately 100% frame coverage, featuring superior light transmission ratio and colouration, for perfectly lined-up shots. This is perfectly accompanied by a high resolution 1,229k-dot, 3.2-inch LCD display, with RGBW alignment, for enhanced visibility, ensuring clear and vibrant colours on a bright screen as one reviews shots on the camera. Telephoto triumph: Ideal for capturing lightning-fast action up close, subjects can be captured in a larger size when using a lens with the same focal length, with a 1.3x image area option (approximately 15.4 megapixels) that elevates the telephoto shooting experience. The 51-point AF system comprehensively covers the 1.3x image area, providing superior subject-acquisition performance even for quick-moving objects over a wide area, so getting a shot of the winning goal from a fast-paced street soccer match is not an obstacle anymore. 3. Start sharing adventures in real-time Made for sharing: Select, send and upload high-quality images on favourite social media platforms seamlessly. The Nikon D7200 makes on-the-go connectivity even simpler with its built-in Wi-Fi capability* 1 and NFC-support* 2 the latter being a pioneer feature on a Nikon DSLR. Using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, photographers can now Tap to share their shots wherever they are by wirelessly transferring images to a compatible smart device through the free Wireless Mobile Utility application* 1, available for ios or Android devices. The built-in Wi-Fi also enables remote shooting with a smart device, especially when taking photographs from tricky angles while minimising camera shake. Connected for work and play: Leveraging on the connectivity features, professional photographers can tap on a suite of optional wireless accessories to maximise workflow efficiency. The WR-1/WR-R10/WR- T10 Wireless Remote Controllers enable efficient remote shooting in the studio, while the WT-5A/B/C/D Wireless Transmitters together with a UT-1 Communication Unit provide stable, high-speed data transmission directly to computers and FTP servers. 4
4.Creativity without interruption The continuous shooting champ: Experience greater freedom to create and experiment with majestic shots of beautiful light trails and similar burst mode captures. With an extended buffer capacity, the number of shots recordable during continuous shooting is increased to a magnificent 100 shots* 3 in large image size, JPEG fineformat, 18 shots in RAW, 14-bit lossless compressed, and 27 shots in RAW, 12- bit lossless compressed. Furthermore, an unlimited number of images can be captured continuously, as long as battery and memory card capacity permit, when using the CH or CL release mode with a shutter speed slower than 4 seconds. Time-lapse and interval wonders: A first for a Nikon DX-format DSLR, stunning time-lapse videos are made possible with the Nikon D7200. With its ability to ensure smooth exposure variations during timelapse and interval-timer photography, photographers can also film scenes where light conditions change vastly such as twilight evenings and breath-taking dusk scenes, with minimal disruption to video and image quality. 5. For moments best captured on video Movie-making magic: Choose to capture video on a DX-based movie format, similar to that of a super-35 format movie film, or experience upclose action in extreme sports with a favourite telephoto zoom lens and the 1.3x-based format image area. Full HD recording up to 1080/60p in 1.3xbased format, with minimal noise even at high ISO settings, is conceivable with the EXPEED 4 imageprocessing engine. The Flat Picture Control option also works with movie recording, should photographers require rich gradation for added movie brightness and colour. Mode M provides Auto ISO sensitivity control during filming, allowing an automatic response for the appropriate exposure with sensitivity adjustments only while shutter speed and aperture values remain fixed. This intuitive technology allows photographers to shoot movies in a single shot even when moving from dark to bright areas. The director s assistant: Besides innovative technology, the Nikon D7200 boasts additional handy features to simplify the movie-making process. To allow more time being focused on the subject instead 5
of fiddling with the camera, an independent menu dedicated for movies enables a more efficient configuration of settings for movie recording. The additional highlight display function provides further assistance by identifying potentially troublesome overblown highlights when recording. To complement great videos, improved audio performance is made available with wind noise reduction when the builtin stereo microphone is used, providing clear audio with less interference. Select a preferred microphone frequency response to suit respective filming needs, such as Wide for street sounds and musical performances, or Voice for interviews and speeches. Relive the sounds: Pair up the Nikon D7200 and the newly released ME-W1 Wireless Microphone for clear off-camera audio recording when the intended subject (sounds) is too far away for the camera's built-in microphone, or an external microphone attached to the camera s accessory shoe. The water-resistant wireless microphone, also compatible with other Nikon DSLR, Nikon 1 and COOLPIX cameras that are equipped with an external microphone connector, comes with Bluetooth specification Power Class 1 support to allow recording of sounds as far away as approximately 50 m. Both distant sounds and those near the videographer can be recorded, and twoway communication between a subject and the videographer is possible with the usage of headphones or earphones. Stereo sound can also be recorded with the ME-W1 Wireless Microphone when the Stereo Microphone ME-1 (sold separately) is connected to the microphone component. 6.
