The large, easy-to-view 7.5 cm (3-in.) VGA wide-viewing-angle (170°), approx. 921k-dot TFT LCD monitor with reinforced glass realizes comfortable Live View shooting.

 

 

You can confirm shooting information and settings such as shutter speed, aperture, number of shots remaining and AF-area mode by pressing the [info] button. The color of characters can be selected according to lighting conditions, dark on light (black lettering) for bright locations or light on dark (white lettering) for dark locations and auto mode for automatic switching of lettering according to lighting conditions can also be set. Pressing the [info] button again when shooting information is displayed gives you direct access to the menu of the setting you would like to alter.

 

 

 

At the heart of the D7000 is a DX-format CMOS image sensor with 16.2 effective megapixels, optimally engineered to gather more quality light through sharp NIKKOR lenses. With 14-bit A/D conversion (12-bit selectable) operating within the sensor, the D7000 realizes stunning images that are richer in tone and detail than previously possible in DX format without sacrificing shooting speed or energy efficiency. Combine these with the agility of the DX format and its signature 1.5x focal length telephoto potential and you can begin to see where this kind of shooting power can take you.

 

 

The ISO sensitivity range of the D7000 is wide, from ISO 100 to 6400 at normal setting, and it can be raised up to Hi 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent). Highly improved noise-reduction technology reduces spotted color noise while maintaining resolution. The D7000 lets you select a faster shutter speed and expands creative possibilities in lowlight situations and sports scenes without worrying about image-degrading noise.

 

 

The D7000 incorporates Multi-CAM 4800DX autofocus sensor module. It detects and tracks the subject precisely with 39 focus points. Nine cross-type sensors cover the most frequently used center area to deliver higher subject-acquisition and focusing performance. There are selectable AF area modes according to the scene - single-point AF, dynamic-area AF (9 points, 21 points and 39 points), 3D-tracking and auto-area AF. You can also choose to shoot with 11 focus points. With Scene Recognition System that recognizes more detailed information utilizing finer-segment 2,016-pixel RGB sensor, the D7000 shows higher subject-tracking and subject-identification performance.

 

 

The D7000 incorporates newly developed shutter, aperture and mirror driving mechanisms. Combining with higher image-processing speed, high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 6 fps, for up to approx. 100 shots is achieved. Start-up time is only approx. 0.13 s and release time lag is approx. 0.052 s All this gives you stress-free, comfortable shooting, helping you to capture the decisive moment.

 

 

The D7000 has a shutter speed range of 1/8,000 to 30 s, with a top flash synchronization speed of 1/250 s. And just like with the D300S, the shutter unit is tested for 150,000 cycles tested in severe conditions to prove precision and durability.

 

 

The D7000 employs Nikon's Integrated Dust Reduction System, which includes the Image Sensor Cleaning function that vibrates the optical low-pass filter with four different resonant frequencies to reduce dust. It prevents unwanted spots from appearing on your images. This function can be set to operate automatically when the camera is turned on or off, or to manual.

 

 

Suitable for focusing on a human 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 also choose a different subject with the multi selector.

 

 

Easy in-camera movie editing is possible without a PC. You can delete unwanted parts by choosing the start or end point by frame, and save a selected frame as a JPEG image.

 

 

The D7000 offers high-image-quality full HD movie recording of 1,920 x 1,080/24p. You can shoot creative and beautiful movies taking advantage of shallow depth of field and a variety of interchangeable NIKKOR lenses. As with Live View, contrast-detect AF is possible. And if you set full-time-servo AF (AF-F) for AF servo mode and subject-tracking AF for AF-area mode, AF area tracks even a moving subject continuously and three-dimensionally.

 

Nikon's Picture Control System allows you to customize sharpness, saturation and other parameters to match your preferences. Picture Control can be adjusted and saved, and also shared with other cameras compatible with Picture Control System.

 

 

This enables easy in-camera image editing after shooting. The D7000 creates an edited image, while leaving your original shot intact.
