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.
24.2MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor and EXPEED 4 Image Processor
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.
Full HD Video Recording
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.
Advanced Multi-CAM 3500 II DX AF Sensor
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.
Scene Recognition System and Exposure Metering
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.
Camera Design Features
Snapbridge Wi-Fi Connectivity
Supporting a wealth of sharing and tagging possibilities, the D7200
features built-in snapbridge Wi-Fi connectivity to enable seamless transfer of
imagery as well as remote shooting capabilities. Once the Nikon Wireless Mobile
Utility app has been installed on an Android or iOS mobile device, you can use
that device to browse the contents of the memory card, select images, and
seamlessly transfer files between devices for immediate sharing online.
Additionally, the mobile device can remotely trigger the shutter and display a
live view image from the camera to enable working from a distance. NFC (Near
Field Communication) is also supported to provide a quick and simple
tap-to-connect method for linking your mobile devices with the camera.
For faster wireless performance, the D7200 is also compatible with the optional
WT-5A Wireless Transmitter and UT-1 Communication Unit, which can transmit
image files via FTP.
