• The fast and furious: For photographers in the field, the ability to work and report back efficiently on the selected shots is crucial. Fast image transfer is essential to deliver the momentous seconds when an athlete reaches the finishing line with a new record time or scores the goal for the decisive penalty shoot-out. With that in mind, the Nikon D6 delivers approximately 15% quicker communication via wired LAN while inheriting the D5’s highly acclaimed 1000BASE-T standard, and communication via built-in Wi-Fi and WT-6 is an option for the wireless LAN. Photographers can also prioritise important images to upload and be transferred first via Wired LAN and WT-6/A/B/C. The camera is further supported by the SnapBridge app to help make transferring RAW files to smart devices easier.
Your frequently used settings are kept close and easy with touch operation during playback. The settings are easily easy applied with a flick operation, and options include selecting to send a file and to protect a file. Other features that further boost post-shooting operations are playback card slot selection, playback switch between simultaneously-recorded images, filtered playback, and ratings addition. Those looking to work fast and clear unwanted pictures in a hurry will be pleased with the simultaneous deletion feature which allows for multiple recorded images to be deleted in one operation.
Further increasing efficiency in the workflow pace, simultaneous recording of JPEG+JPEG images are also made possible, so large JPEG files can be kept for editing and another small or medium JPEG can be recorded as a transfer option.
Especially if you are at an event-shoot, these features will allow you to integrate workflow and transfer files to editors and clients faster and more conveniently.
• Reliability you can count on: A professional’s camera is a tremendous workhorse of sorts and it endures through any environment and delivers the desired shots without compromise. The D6 sees to its mission with refined usability from the D5 – from its firm grip to improved illuminated top and rear control panels, to the addition of the Kensington lock-compatibility to give a worry-free shooting experience, the camera allows you to concentrate on your craft. Nikon’s new flagship DSLR also takes a page from its predecessor’s absolute highest-level durability, heat resistance, weather- and dust-resistant performance.
Colours are meant to be bright, sharp and true-to-life. Harnessing a newly developed algorithm for accurate auto white balance and the EXPEED 6 image-processing engine to reproduce human skin tones in clarity, the D6 excels in reproducing such shots that meet the expectations and more. The EXPEED 6 also assists in supressing noise even at a high ISO, provides mid-range sharpening parameter for effective image sharpening, allows diffraction compensation even when using small apertures, and gives options to Creative Picture Control support.
For a refined view and comfort of the eyes, the new optical viewfinder helps to achieve approximately 0.72× magnification with approximately 100% frame coverage. Reproduce smoother bokeh with easier confirmation of the area where focus is achieved, thanks to the adoption of the "Clear Matte B" for its focusing screen.
To handle the camera's incredible burst shooting capacity and keeping the buffer cleared, the camera further supports usage of XQD and CFexpress memory card, and has a dependably long battery life.
Rounding up the camera is its comprehensive ecosystem with both hardware and professional support from its extensive range of compatible NIKKOR F mount lenses with various focal length and aperture values, as well as the Nikon Professional Services (NPS) that is ready to assist its members on both local and global levels.
The Nikon D6 is truly the complete system, providing a total solution that caters to the professionals’ needs.
