2012-01-13
how's it going guys johnathan here with TLD with yet again on the CS video for you guys we got Steve from Nikon he's gonna give you guys a hands-on tour of the all-new d4 we're really excited here at CES 2012 we just introduced the Nikon d4 here at the show this has got some really revolutionary features not only for still photographers but I know HDSLR users are gonna really love the features of this camera first of all we put a 16 point two megapixel CMOS sensor in this camera with really fast readout the readout enables the camera to actually fire sequentially at 10 frames per second or up to 11 frames per second with locked a en AF we've got a 90 1000 pixel RGB color matrix meter 3 in here which links to our scene recognition system which helps the autofocus system we also can now autofocus in light much lower than before down to e V minus 2 that means that photographers who are actually using f4 lenses with a 2x teleconverter at f8 can now autofocus where never before some of the other really cool features on this camera include 4 HD video a triple crop mode opportunity many of your viewers and listeners and readers will probably understand that whenever you change the crop mode on a sensor in still photography you lose resolution the cool thing about the d4 is that you've got not only an FX full size sensor that you can use for 1080p you can also use our DX format or DX crop for 1080p and we have a brand new mode that crops the sensor to exactly 1920 by 1080 pixels at a 2.7 crop so if you have a modest bag full of lenses that just expanded your lens collection tremendously and all three crop modes output at a full 1080p a couple other things that are really cool through the HDMI on the side of the camera we've actually enabled the camera to deliver a clean output from the HDMI meaning there's no photo information overlaid on top of the screen so you get a clean output and without any memory cards in the camera that signal can be recorded to an external video recorder at a full 1080p uncompressed 8-bit for to to file that's really important of course for HD users when some of the other cool things include we built in a new wireless port and a wired LAN port on the camera that will actually allow you to remotely start and stop video as well as change all of the settings on the camera either wirelessly or via a ethernet cable with any browser on any computer device we've included a headphone jack right next to the stereo mic input and as you can see we actually have visible peak meters for the audio right here on the LCD screen that's adjustable now in 20 levels of sound adjustment the headphone adjustments now adjustable at actually thirty different steps of volume adjustment so being able to monitor the sound of course we know is huge some of the other things of course this like all of our flagship cameras is built entirely out of magnesium alloy all of the critical joints are a ring sealed so that prevents dust and moisture from getting in it takes our full complement of not only FX lenses but also DX lenses and it's just truly a workhorse that I think is gonna really excite the market so thank you guys for checking out this video hopefully you guys enjoyed it and as always we'll see you guys back here with some more CES coverage you
