In the new-generation AF system that excels in subject detection power, it covers a wide range of D4S ratio over 130% at high density with 153 points of focus point effective for all AF NIKKOR. In addition, 99 of them are cross sensors which make capturing subjects more easily, and said that they are efficiently placed in the center and the periphery.


Although there seems to be no major change in the design of the back side, a new high-definition image monitor of about 3.26 million dots adopted as touch panel is installed.


With D5, the newly developed Nikon FX format CMOS sensor and the new image processing engine "EXPEED 5" realize the highest usual sensitivity ISO 102400, the highest Nikon history. As a result, images with higher quality than ever in a wide sensitivity range from ISO 100 are obtained, desensitization to ISO 50 equivalent (Lo 1), sensitivities up to the highest Nikon historical ISO 3280000 equivalent (Hi 5) In Hi 5, high-quality shooting that can be stably obtained in a wide sensitivity range, such as being able to shoot a subject in darkness that could not be taken so far in color, is made possible. In addition, it is a model equipped with a 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) movie function that is convenient for movie makers, and it is a model that can be called a state-of-the-art flagship model corresponding to a wide range of scenes and subjects.

In addition, as functions and performances that realize high-speed workflow to respond to the demands of professional site, "communication performance greatly improved both wired LAN (built-in) and wireless LAN", "memory card double slot that can use two identical media" It is said to have features of.


In addition, it has become possible to speed up the workflow by wireless LAN communication with the wired LAN (built-in) which greatly improved the communication speed from the former model "D4S", and the advanced scene recognition system which adopted the 180K pixel RGB sensor newly Has contributed to the high performance of AF, AE, AWB. In addition to low power consumption, high precision and high durability shutter etc., reliability is improved both in terms of control accuracy and durability.
