PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED
Features Nano Crystal Coat, three ED
glass elements, three aspherical lens
elements and a closest shooting dis-
tance of 0.21 m.
Electronic Virtual Horizon
The innovative Virtual Horizon
provides instant, accurate
confirmation of the D700’s position
relative to horizontal level. When
using Live View, you can choose
to display the virtual horizon on the
LCD, a feature ideal for landscape
and architecture photography. You
can also level the D700 while looking
through the viewfinder using the
convenient analog scale.
Hand-held mode for low- and high-angle
compositions
In situations where you’re unable to look through the
viewfinder, Hand-held Mode can be a tremendous
assistance. First, select your focus point from the 51 points
available, or use Auto-area AF, then use the wide, 170-degree
viewing angle for composing — remarkably easy, even when
holding your D700 overhead or close to the ground.
Quick access to Live View
A simple custom setting allows you to designate the function
button for quick access to Live View. One push of the button
and you’re ready for Live View shooting.
— Comprehensive PC-E and Micro lens
versatility
Joining the D700 are four NIKKOR lenses that give photographers
exciting opportunities to develop in new and specialized directions.
All of these lenses incorporate a number of exclusive NIKKOR lens
technologies, such as Nano Crystal Coat, for achieving stunning
images, setting a new standard for effective control of ghost and
flare. The three PC-E lenses offer shift and tilt functions as well
as the revolving mechanism, and their anti-dust and anti-moisture
construction makes them a joy to work with even in severe
conditions. The micro NIKKOR employs an internal focusing system
for even faster autofocus and better balanced handling.

WT-4/4A Wireless Transmitter
For photographers working in large, crowded venues, the WT-
4/4A Wireless Transmitter offers huge advantages. Supporting both
the IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g, it gives you
the range to move freely. And to streamline image
transfer, you can send just thumbnail images first;
then, the complete data of only the editor's selections
need be transmitted — a real timesaver. Up to five
photographers at a time can use the system, which
means that a single unit is able to handle most
events. The WT-4/4A is also compatible with a variety
of system formats and security protocols.

Live View further expands shooting opportunities
Live View with high-resolution, 920,000-dot LCD
The D700’s Live View function further expands versatility
in a variety of shooting situations. In studio photography,
for example, the D700’s LCD shows bright, crisp, beautiful
images through a 3-inch, 920,000-dot screen in real time.
Because it’s so large and clear, you’re always aware of
what's happening in your composition. The 170-degree wide
viewing angle allows you to see what’s going on in front of
the camera from extremely high or low angles. The D700
offers two modes — Tripod and Hand-held.
Sharp contrast AF in tripod mode
Tripod Mode is ideal for conditions that demand a precise
focus and involve detailed composition, such as studio still
life, architecture and landscape photography. In this mode,
the high-precision, contrast-detect AF system, using the
FX-format CMOS sensor, offers exceptionally accurate
focusing
from any point in the entire frame
— much wider
than the 51-AF point area. You can easily rearrange still life
subjects while simultaneously confirming your composition,
or confirm your focus by enlarging the focus point image
up to 13 times — an indispensable feature for macro
photography where subtle changes in the subject’s position
greatly influence the depth of field. You can also control focus
and shutter release from a
personal computer via Camera
Control Pro 2. When used
in combination with Nikon’s
latest PC-E NIKKOR lenses,
which incorporate tilt and shift
functions, the Live View Tripod
Mode further empowers you to
pursue your creative instincts.
Live View offers two modes —
Tripod Mode and Hand-held
Mode — accessible through the
LCD monitor.
