Poised to deliver in the most challenging of
situations, Nikon's D7200 is a versatile DX-format DSLR that
caters to both still photography and video users. Featuring a 24.2MP CMOS
sensor which lacks an optical low-pass filter, and an EXPEED 4 image processor,
the D7200 is able to record up to 6 fps at full-resolution, or 7 fps at a 1.3x
crop, with a 100-frame buffer for extended high-speed shooting. This sensor and
processor combination also avails a top native sensitivity of ISO 25600, which
can further be expanded to black & white-dedicated ISO 51200 and ISO 102400
sensitivities. Full HD 1080p video recording is supported up to 60 fps, and
in-camera time lapse shooting with automatic exposure smoothing is possible for
up to 9,999 consecutive frames. In addition to the sheer imaging benefits, the
D7200 also incorporates a large 3.2" 1,229k-dot LCD monitor, dual SD card
slots, and features built-in snapbridge Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC for simple
linking of your mobile device. Capable of performing in both still and video
realms, the D7200 is an all-around shooter that blends sophisticated imaging
technologies with refined handling and design.
Rounding out its feature-set, the D7200 is also characterized by an apt
51-point AF system, with 15 cross-type points, for quick and accurate focusing
in a variety of conditions. The 3D Color Matrix Metering II system, which
utilizes a 2,016-pixel RGB sensor, also benefits the focusing capabilities in
addition to providing precise exposure metering capabilities. Further realizing
a complete imaging solution, a series of Picture Control profiles can be
applied to refine the color and tonal handling of imagery. The 24.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor enables recording
high-resolution still imagery and full HD 1080p video with the utmost clarity,
low noise, and smooth color gradations. The sensor's design also omits the
traditional optical low-pass filter in order to gain increased image sharpness
and resolution. Additionally, the sensor pairs with the advanced EXPEED 4 image
processor to provide native sensitivity to ISO 25600, as well as expanded Hi
BW1 ISO 51200 and Hi BW2 ISO 102400 sensitivities for monochromatic shooting in
even dimmer lighting conditions. The
sensor and processor combination also enables a top continuous shooting rate of
6 fps at full resolution, or 7 fps shooting at a 1.3x crop of the DX sensor
area. Enhanced buffer capacity allows you to record up to 100 sequential JPEGs
(Fine/Large), 27 12-bit NEF files, or 18 14-bit NEF files.
The EXPEED 4 processing power extends beyond still imaging
performance to benefit full HD 1080p video recording in multiple frame rates up
to 60 fps, with the added ability to record 60/50p using just a 1.3x crop of
the DX format for added reach while maintaining the full 1920 x 1080
resolution. During recording, fully manual control is possible over shutter
speed and ISO settings, along with the ability to utilize Auto ISO adjustment
in manual mode with a top sensitivity of ISO 25600. Zebra stripe highlighting
can be applied to aid in controlling overexposure during recording, too, along
with in-camera Picture Control profiles, custom tone curves, and a flat profile
to benefit color grading applications. Recording to an optional external
recorder is possible in order to gain uncompressed 4:2:2 8-bit output through
the HDMI port and, when recording externally, use of the camera's LCD monitor
for simultaneous live view monitoring is possible. In regard to audio recording, an in-camera stereo microphone can be used or,
alternatively, an input is available for utilizing an optional external stereo
microphone. Sound levels can be adjusted across 20 levels prior to and during
recording, along with the ability to monitor audio via the headphone output.
Additionally, the D7200 is compatible with the optional ME-W1 Wireless
Microphone for recording clear mono sound of your subject up to 164' away.
Supporting the imaging capabilities of the D7200 is an apt
autofocus system that employs up to 51 distinct points, with options available
to use 9, 21, or all 51 points depending on the situation, with AF detection
sensitivity down to -3 EV. 15 cross-type points are also integrated within this
array to provide even greater accuracy to centrally-located subjects.
Benefitting the use of telephoto lenses and teleconverters, the center-most
point is also sensitive down to an aperture value of f/8. 3D Tracking, a part
of the intelligent Scene Recognition System, also works to benefit maintained
focusing on moving subjects for greater accuracy when shooting at high
continuous shooting speeds. Furthermore, Single-point AF, Dynamic-area AF (with
9, 21, or 51 points selectable), 3D-tracking (using all 51 points), and
Auto-area AF modes are also available. And when working in either horizontal or
vertical shooting orientations, you can individually select your focus point
and AF area settings to best fit the frame.
When working in live view, for either still or movie shooting, a contrast-based
AF system is employed to acquire focus precisely and can function in
continuous, full-time servo mode to better-suit working with moving subjects. The intelligent Scene Recognition System with
3D Color Matrix Metering II utilizes a 2,016-pixel RGB sensor to evaluate and
analyze all aspects within a scene, including brightness, contrast, subject
distance, and the scene colors, to quickly determine an accurate exposure and
white balance setting to best render the scene at hand. The information
gathered is also checked against onboard reference images to ensure consistency
from image to image in regard to exposure, white balance, i-TTL flash settings,
and subject-tracking AF performance.
