  • Auto white balance that supports various light sources accurately

    The D610 detects color and brightness information of the shooting scene before shooting utilizing the Scene Recognition System and identifies the light source highly accurately by referencing its massive collection of in-camera shooting data. The auto white balance accuracy for common shooting scenarios has been enhanced, enabling the camera to reproduce colors naturally and precisely both indoors and outdoors. In addition to the conventional setting of Auto 1 (Normal) that compensates lighting colors, the D610 allows you to set another auto white balance mode, Auto 2 (Keep warm lighting colors), that maintains warm lighting ambience when you shoot under incandescent light. If the image is shot in RAW, these modes can be applied using the NEF (RAW) processing of the D610's in-camera retouch menus regardless of the shooting setting.



    Wide standard ISO sensitivity ranging from ISO 100 to 6400, that handles various degrees of brightness

    The D610's standard ISO sensitivity, that clears Nikon's severe test conditions, ranges from ISO 100 to 6400. Under harsh lighting conditions, it is possible to expand to ISO 50 (Lo 1) or ISO 25600 (Hi 2) equivalent. The D610's large FX-format CMOS sensor responds to a variety of lighting situations such as the harsh glare of the midday sun, the low light of dusk, a dimly lit interior and night scenes. Also, the superior noise reduction function reduces noise effectively at high ISO setting, and suppresses noise even for low-contrast subjects such as hair and grass textures while maintaining resolution as much as possible. This excellent high ISO sensitivity performance is powerfully effective even in movie recording.



    Nikon's noise-reduction method

    Thanks to its improved image-processing performance and a comprehensive noise reduction system, the D610 successfully minimizes noise at higher ISOs while substantially broadening the standard ISO range. What makes Nikon's noise-reduction method superior is that noise appearing in an image is analyzed, and then optimized noise reduction is applied accordingly. The result: effective noise control in your movies and still images, all without sacrificing the fine details.



    Auto ISO sensitivity control* that changes sensitivity automatically

    Auto ISO sensitivity control lets the camera adjust ISO sensitivity automatically if optimal exposure cannot be achieved at the selected value. The D610 comes equipped with an "Auto" option for minimum shutter speed. The shutter speed at which the camera will start increasing ISO sensitivity for optimal exposure is automatically selected based on the lens focal length. This enables shooting with efficiently reduced camera shake when using a zoom lens or if the lens is changed. The controlled value can be minutely adjusted according to the subject's movement or photographer's needs. Auto ISO sensitivity control can be set using the menu, and can also be immediately accessed with the ISO button and sub-command dial.

    • *When exposure mode is set to P, S, A or M only.


    Active D-Lighting with enhanced image quality

    Active D-Lighting preserves details in both highlights and shadowy areas, maintaining moderate contrast to reproduce brightness as you see it, even when shooting high-contrast subjects in backlit situations. The D610 employs a new image-processing system that delivers superior reproduction without shifting color phase even when the strength level is increased. It reproduces brightness as you see it even in high-contrast lighting scenes such as gradation of the sky. Image-processing time is shortened by high-speed and highly accurate, real-time processing within pipelines. And color reproduction is improved thanks to the EXPEED 3 image-processing engine. Active D-Lighting is suitable for moving subjects such as people while HDR is effective for stationary subjects.



    HDR (High Dynamic Range) that produces a single image with a wider dynamic range

    Two images taken with one shutter release at different exposures are combined to produce a single image that has a wider dynamic range. Since exposure differential can be expanded up to 3 EV, the result is images with less noise and rich tonal gradation including shadows and highlights, even for high-contrast shooting scenes. The smoothness of the edge where the two exposures meet can be adjusted (the degree is selectable from high, normal and low) according to your intention. HDR is ideal for stationary subjects such as high-contrast landscapes and still lifes.

    Note: Tripod use is recommended.



    Lateral chromatic aberration reduction/auto distortion control/vignette control that support sharp resolution even in peripheral areas

    Unlike other correction methods that simply eliminate the colors of chromatic aberration, Nikon's lateral chromatic aberration reduction compensates for the differences in the resolving sizes of each color. This proves especially effective for reducing image distortion at the edges of a frame and for improving image quality throughout the entire frame, regardless of the NIKKOR lenses used. If you set "On" for "Auto distortion control" when using G or D lenses*1, barrel distortion caused by a wide-angle lens or pin-cushion distortion caused by a telephoto lens can be compensated. Also, it employs "Vignette control*2" that reduces the drop in brightness at the edges of a photograph caused by characteristics of the lens.

    • *1PC, fisheye, and certain other lenses excluded.
    • *2DX and PC lenses excluded.

  • 6-fps continuous shooting: FX-format quality at full-throttle speed

    The D610 achieves high-speed performance by employing an exclusive driving mechanism that drives the mirror independently. Combined with the swift performance of the EXPEED 3 image-processing engine, high-speed continuous shooting at up to approx. 6 fps*1 in FX formats, for a maximum of 100 shots*2 is realized. Using dynamic-area AF allows you to capture the decisive moment of a moving subject more precisely. Start-up time is only approx. 0.13 s*1 and release time lag is approx. 0.052 s*1 which is close to the approx. 0.042 s*1 of the D4. The shutter-release button and power switch are coaxially located, realizing smooth transition from turning on the camera to releasing the shutter, while the grip shape does not hinder finger movement. All of this contributes to quick and comfortable shooting, helping you to capture unexpected photo opportunities.

    • *2JPEG, excluding fine/Large in FX format (max. 51 shots) and normal/Large in FX format (max. 90 shots).


    Q (quiet) / Qc (quiet continuous) shutter-release mode [NEW]

    The quiet shutter-release mode is suitable when you want to shoot with less mirror movement sound. For a single frame, the mirror does not click back into place while the shutter-release button is fully pressed, allowing delay of the timing of the click made by the mirror and insulating the sound by covering the camera with a cloth, which is also quieter than in single frame mode. Simply select "Q" on the release mode dial to smoothly switch between single-frame mode and quiet shutter-release mode as needed. Furthermore, the D610's new Qc (quiet continuous) shutter-release mode reduces mirror noise while still offering up to 3 fps*, for maximum discretion when capturing cautious, elusive subjects or shooting quiet scenes such as a ceremony, school play or when taking pictures of wildlife, or insects.

    • *Based on CIPA Guidelines.


    Approx. 100% frame coverage: essential for accurate viewfinder framing

    The D610's optical viewfinder features approx. 100% frame coverage that enables confirmation of the entire large image area of FX format for precise composition. And approx. 0.7x* magnification allows easy viewing of all the visual elements including the viewfinder information display. The frame coverage and magnification are the same as those of the D4 and D3 series, realizing comfortable shooting. In addition, grid lines can optionally be placed across the viewfinder (in FX format), a feature that is convenient for composition in landscape or architectural shooting.

    • *With a 50mm f/1.4 lens at infinity, -1.0 m-1.


    High-density 39-point AF system

    The D610 comes equipped with a Multi-CAM 4800 autofocus sensor module. 39 focus points acquire and track subjects precisely and the nine cross-type sensors cover the most frequently used center area to deliver higher subject-acquisition performance. AF area can be selected from single-point AF, dynamic-area AF (9 points, 21 points, 39 points), 3D-tracking and auto-area AF. Combined with the Scene Recognition System utilizing a 2016-pixel RGB sensor that recognizes smaller subjects, the D610 shows higher subject-tracking and subject-identification performance. Furthermore, it is possible to choose an 11-point option by using custom settings. This is convenient for selecting a focus point quickly.

Dynamic-area AF allows you to choose from 9, 21 or 39 points. In each mode, the selected AF point and the surrounding points cover a wide area to keep your subject in sharp focus, combining with AF-C (continuous-servo AF) of autofocus mode.

    9 points
    Used when there is time to compose the photograph or for subjects that are moving predictably and can be easily framed with the selected focus point
    21 points
    Suitable for a randomly and unpredictably moving subject
    39 points
    Suitable when photographing subjects that are moving quickly and cannot be easily framed with the selected focus point

    - 3D-tracking mode

    The camera tracks the subject using all 39 points. This is ideal for shooting subjects that are moving erratically from side to side in a creative composition. Once the subject is focused with a selected focus point, the camera maintains tracking of the subject by automatically shifting among focus points according to the subject's movement while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. By utilizing subject tracking of the Scene Recognition System, the D610 recognizes fine patterns of the subject's color and brightness that are tracked with selected focus point to achieve highly accurate and stable subject tracking.

    - Auto-area AF mode

    The camera identifies and focuses the subject automatically using all 39 focus points. With a G- or D-type AF NIKKOR lens, the D610 can distinguish foreground and background and detects a person's position by recognizing human skin tone for improved subject acquisition.



    Seven focus points compatible with f/8 make super-telephoto shooting attainable

    The seven focus points (five central focus points and one point to the left and right of them in the middle line) are compatible with f/8. Stress-free and smooth focusing is realized with the 1.4x or 1.7x teleconverter and precise focusing is possible even with the effective aperture value of f/8 by attaching a 2.0x teleconverter to telephoto lenses with maximum aperture of f/4. Comfortable AF shooting is realized for shooting wild birds or trains, for example, from a long distance at high magnification. Furthermore, the compact, lightweight combination of the D610, NIKKOR FX lenses and teleconverter makes long-distance shooting more accessible than ever.

    Contrast-detect AF that enables sharp focusing

    The D610's enhanced contrast-detect AF speed is equivalent to that of the D4 and D800 series. During live view and movie recording, high-speed and sharp focusing is realized. Selectable autofocus modes include single-servo AF (AF-S) suitable for still image shooting, and full-time-servo AF (AF-F) for movie shooting. Also, from four AF-area modes, you can select the most appropriate mode according to your subject. Contrast-detect AF allows you to focus anywhere within a frame to expand your creative freedom.

    AF-area modes

    - Face-priority AF

    Suitable for focusing on a person's face such as for a commemorative photo. Up to 35 faces can be detected. When multiple faces are detected, the camera will focus on the subject recognized to be the closest. Alternatively, you can choose a different face in the frame with the multi selector.

    - Wide-area AF

    For handheld shooting of landscape shots. The focus point can be moved to the desired position within a frame.

    - Normal-area AF

    Since the focus point is smaller than that of the wide-area AF, it is ideal for tripod shooting to achieve a pin-point focus in close-up shots. The focus point can be moved to the desired position within a frame.

    - Subject-tracking AF

    Suitable for a moving subject. After focus is locked with the center button of the multi selector, the focus point tracks the subject's movement.

    Scene Recognition System recognizes the subject's situation accurately prior to shooting and enables precise auto control, which professional photographers will appreciate in a variety of situations.

    The D610's Scene Recognition System

    The D610 precisely analyzes the subject's situation before shooting, including brightness and color, employing information from the 2016-pixel RGB sensor and the high-pixel count image sensor, and applies it to autofocus, auto exposure, i-TTL balanced fill-flash, auto white balance control and Active D-Lighting.

    Subject identification/Subject tracking

    In phase-detection AF using the viewfinder, the high precision of auto-area AF is assisted by subject identification, while 3D-tracking is supported utilizing subject tracking. In contrast-detect AF during live view and video recording, for subject-tracking AF, the image sensor's subject tracking is utilized to assist the high precision of auto-focus.

    Light source identification/Highlight analysis

    Light source identification is used not only for enhancing the precision of auto white balance. But it is also for exposure control and i-TTL balanced fill-flash, incorporated with highlight analysis that meticulously detects the highlights of an image.

    Face detection on image plane

    Face-priority AF is also available, using the image sensor's face detection information during live view or movie recording. In playback of still images, faces can be zoomed in on, allowing easy confirmation of focus.



    Two types of image area options

    The D610 offers selectable image area options: FX format (35.9 x 24.0 mm) and DX format (23.5 x 15.7 mm). Each image area can be confirmed in the viewfinder. DX format offers an angle of view equivalent to approx. 1.5x lens focal length, useful for creating an extension to the focal length of an existing lens. Also, you can make good use of your DX lenses because it is possible to keep sufficient image size (approx. 10.4 megapixels) even in DX-format image area thanks to the 24.3 effective megapixels. When a DX NIKKOR lens is used, DX format is automatically selected as the default setting.

The power switch has been designed flat so as not to disturb shutter release operation. And there is no height difference between the power switch and body surface, for relaxed finger holding. The red motif located at the upper part of the grip employs molded materials to support smooth dial operation. The movie-record button is located next to the shutter-release button enabling the start of movie recording from movie live view with a slight finger movement, thus keeping the camera stable to prevent camera shake.

    Improved grip holding

    With a deeper and vertically longer grip, stable holding is achieved despite a compact and light body. Furthermore, rubber material is employed for the thumb rest space attaining an optimized design to ensure reliable holding. These factors achieve a comfortable fit for the widest range of hand sizes.

    Dust-preventing, weather-resistant interface covers

    The interface cover for the headphone connector, USB connector, accessory terminal, etc., is divided into three to ensure dust-prevention and weather-resistance for the separate interface sections.

    Base patterns effective for vertical shooting

    The D610 incorporates anti-slip patterns on the base of the body which realize an extra-sure grip when shooting vertically on a tripod.



    Highly durable and precise shutter mechanisms tested for 150,000 cycles

    The D610 employs a high-speed and high-precision sequential control mechanism that drives the shutter, mirror and aperture independently. The shutter has been tested for 150,000 cycles with the shutter unit and driving mechanism actually loaded to prove its extremely high durability, appropriate for a precision, digital SLR camera. Furthermore, it also incorporates a compact self-diagnostic shutter monitor to maintain high precision stably. The shutter monitor checks and detects shutter speed variance between set or controlled shutter speed and actual speed constantly to achieve highly accurate shutter control with minimized variance.



    SD memory card double slots compatible with high-speed SDXC and UHS-I

    The D610 supports SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) and UHS-I. Combined with the rapid performance of the EXPEED 3 image-processing engine, it processes and writes image data of 24.3 megapixels at high speed. In high-speed continuous shooting, the number of available shots*1 is 100 frames in JPEG*2 and 16 frames in RAW (lossless compressed/14-bit). Also, Eye-Fi card (on the market) that allows wireless transmission of the taken images from a camera to a PC is supported. Moreover, a variety of recording options is available — "Overflow", "Backup", and "RAW primary, JPEG secondary" recording that lets you record RAW data and JPEG data separately to each card. What's more, you can copy images between the two memory cards. In addition, when shooting D-Movie clips, you can select the slot according to the remaining capacity.

EXPEED 3 processes high-pixel-count data of approx. 24.3 effective megapixels optimally to deliver high-resolution movies with reduced jaggies and moiré. Noise reduction optimized for movie recording effectively reduces noise, while maintaining definition. Smooth gradation with minimum block noise which tends to occur in compression, and movie recording with reduced random noise at high ISO setting are realized. The file size is compressed with the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format and approx. 29 min. 59 s* maximum recording time is achieved. You can also select 1,280 x 720; 60p, suitable for recording movements more smoothly. The movie-record button is located next to the shutter-release button enabling smooth start/stop of movie recording as if shooting still images. Image blur caused by camera shake is minimized.

    • *Maximum recording time varies according to frame rate, frame size and image quality settings. Maximum recording time for time-lapse photography is 20 min.


    Time-lapse photography that reproduces time transition at high speed

    Time-lapse photography lets you shoot automatically at designated intervals and save as a movie to replay slow-moving activity at high speed. Without complicated calculation or editing, you can simply set shooting interval and time on the menu display to generate a movie within the camera, from 24 to 36,000 times faster than regular playback. You can record a dramatic sequence of natural phenomena such as the flow of clouds, movements of stars, the blooming of flowers, or cars and people coming and going in a city scene.

    Note:Movie files of time-lapse photography will be saved in 16:9 aspect ratio.



    Multi-area mode Full HD D-Movie that delivers two selectable movie formats

    The D610's movie function offers two movie formats, selectable according to the photographer's creative intentions. The FX-based format* renders exquisitely shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh effects, taking advantage of the large image sensor. In the DX-based format, it is possible to get close enough to the subject with a short-focal-length lens because of its smaller image area. Having two movie formats in one camera and an arsenal of NIKKOR lenses including DX lenses gives you much more creative expression.

    • *The aspect ratio of movies is 16:9 whichever format is selected.


    Sound control with various options

    The D610 incorporates an external microphone terminal. If you attach the compact ME-1 Stereo Microphone (optional) you can record clear sound while significantly reducing mechanical noise.
