More Information
Notes & Features: ISO 3200 and 6400 available via special custom menu settings, but not really usable due to high noise. All lens parameters will depend on lens chosen: Camera accepts virtually all Nikon F-mount lenses. Likewise flash parameters, camera has none built in, relies on external flash units, so performance will be governed by the flash that is chosen. Max flash sync speed is 1/500 second. 4.5 fps burst speed is for up to 21 images in sequence before pausing to write to card.
