Introduction
Welcome to the Nikon D700 Digital Field Guide. This guide is a handy reference book to get you started using your new camera and help you understand the different features and functions that this amazing camera offers.
It is aimed at a wide variety of readers, from beginners to advanced amateurs. Some of you are familiar with many of the concepts, while others of you may be new to digital photography with a digital single lens reflex (dSLR) or new to photography altogether. You'll find sections to help you, regardless of your level.
With its many different buttons and features, the D700 can be daunting. My goal is to explain these settings and features as clearly as possible as you learn the layout of the D700 and how to use the features out in the field.
About the D700
The D700 is the little brother to the D3, which came on the market August 2007. The D3 was Nikon's first camera with a 24 × 36mm full-frame sensor (which Nikon dubs FX). Unfortunately the $5,000 price tag was a bit beyond what most casual photographers could afford. Nikon addressed the need for a more affordable FX camera with a more compact body, and announced the D700 on July 1, 2008. The D700 is essentially a D3 within the body of a D300.
The D700's FX sensor is identical to the D3's 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor. One of the advantages of having a larger FX sensor is that you have larger pixels that collect light more effectively; this enables you to use higher ISO settings without digital noise.
