From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Rethink the limits of speed, precision, efficiency and
versatility in the field. With remarkable enhancements throughout
the entire workflow, thrilling new levels of speed, performance
and ISO sensitivity and the superior image quality of a Nikon
ship HD-SLR, D4S frees professionals to perform at their peak
in whatever conditions their assignments demand. Capture full
resolution stills at 11 fps for approx. 200 s with full AE
and AF functionality, noise-free photos and videos up to ISO
25,600 (expandable to a mind-boggling ISO 409,600 equivalent at
Hi4) and 1080p Full HD videos with high-fidelity stereo audio.
Transfer files 10x faster with new 1000 Base-T (Gigabit) wired
LAN, and increase that speed further by shooting a smaller RAW
SIZE S format. Think and shoot in ways you may not have believed
possible.
The evolution of a masterpiece.
-------------------------------
The course of modern imaging has been forged by the talent and
ingenuity of working professionals, but also by the introduction
of a few cameras so innovative and forward-thinking, they
redefined what's possible. The Nikon D4 has been such a camera.
And now D4S proves that a great thing really can get better, with
remarkable enhancements throughout the entire workflow, dazzling
new levels of speed, performance, ISO sensitivity and, of course,
the superior image quality of a Nikon camera.
Speed and performance
---------------------
Enhancements through the entire workflow
----------------------------------------
How do you make a revolutionary camera better? Improve its speed,
precision and efficiency without sacrificing the features that
make it exceptional. D4S builds on the success of D4 with 30%
faster image processing and substantial energy savings—capture up
to 3,020* stills on a single charge—an extended standard ISO
range (100-25,600) with enhanced noise reduction, and improved
tonal range and smoother gradations. Shoot 11 fps for approx. 200
s at full resolution with AE and AF functionality. For faster
initial subject capture, use five AF sensors as a single focus
point with the new Group Area AF setting. Transfer files 10x
faster than the D4 with new 1000 Base-T (Gigabit) wired LAN, and
increase that speed further by shooting a new smaller RAW SIZE S
format. Perform at your peak—D4S will keep up.

Nikon image quality
-------------------
Stunning views of decisive moments
----------------------------------
Like its predecessor, the D4, the D4S delivers a level of image
quality that elevates the power of any story. An improved 16.2MP
FX-format CMOS image sensor is paired with Nikon's spectacular
new image-processing engine, EXPEED 4, for truly phenomenal speed
and performance in the field. The combination achieves
outstanding ISO sensitivity, faithful, vibrant color, natural
depth, subtle nuanced tones from pitch black to snow white and
smoother gradations in both stills and videos. Nikon's proven
51-point AF system and 3D Color Matrix metering III with a
91,000-pixel RGB sensor provide fast, accurate autofocus and
metering. Enhanced Picture Control tone curves deliver more depth
and clearer color rendition in "Standard" mode. For viewfinder
shooting, a new custom setting lets you toggle Face Detection on
and off as the situation requires for improved exposure bias
around your subjects. You can even measure White Balance against
any point in the frame.
Nikon ship ISO performance
------------------------------
Noise-free shooting from ISO 100 to 25,600
------------------------------------------
Photographers go where their assignments take them, and this
often means working in the high-contrast glare of the midday sun,
the low-light at dawn or the poorly illuminated interiors of a
sporting venue. Nikon ship D-SLRs have long been recognized
by professionals for their clean performance at high ISO
settings, and D4S takes that performance to the next level. With
a specially designed 16.2MP FX-format CMOS image sensor
engineered to collect more light and render higher image quality
plus the power of EXPEED 4, you can shoot sharp photos from ISO
100 all the way up to 25,600. The ISO range can be extended to a
mind-boggling ISO 409,600 equivalent at Hi 4 for overcoming the
most challenging lighting conditions. Enjoy great flexibility in
your approach to fulfilling challenging assignments.
The choice for pros on the go
-----------------------------
A camera that works as hard as you do
-------------------------------------
D4S is designed to keep you shooting wherever the story brings
you, even after others have packed their bags for the day. Its
increased ISO range means you'll be able to capture brilliant
photos and videos in whatever light is available. Enjoy improved
ergonomics and operability as well as ship levels of
durability and reliability—key for those who spend all day with a
camera around their neck. Select from five image area modes while
shooting stills in Live View: FX, DX, 1.5x, 5:4 and 1.2x. A new
RAW SIZE S setting allows for shooting 12-bit uncompressed Nikon
NEF files that are smaller and more easily manageable—speeding up
the entire workflow. When you're racing a deadline at a major
event, D4S can transfer images up to 10x faster than previously
possible with its 1000 Base-T Ethernet. D4S is the camera for
today's working pro.
A multimedia powerhouse
-----------------------
Professional video and audio capabilities
-----------------------------------------
Today's stories are being told through stills, video, audio and
exciting combinations of each. D4S is a multimedia powerhouse,
allowing you to capture stunning and smooth 1080/60p video. Shoot
scenes with tremendous depth and sharpness as well as with
shallow depth of field or bokeh—and even capture 2MP stills
simultaneously while video. For video, 2.7x Crop Mode
extends the reach of lenses and produces outstanding video
quality and detail. D4S adds real-time audio adjustments during
, selectable sound ranges like Wide Range and Voice
Range and improved wind noise reduction on the internal mic.
Adjust color settings on the camera's LCD to better match an
external monitor. Capture smoother Time Lapse sequences with
reduced flicker and improved interval control (up to 9,999
s), and even simultaneously record to internal CF or the
latest high speed XQD cards and an external device.
