The Nikon D2H is a professional-grade digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by Nikon Corporation on July 22, 2003. It uses Nikon's own JFET - LBCAST sensor with a 4.1-megapixel resolution, and is optimised for sports and action shooting that require a high frame rate. In 2005, the D2H was replaced by the D2Hs, which added new features derived from the 12-megapixel D2X digital SLR. The D2Hs was discontinued after the introduction of the D300 and D3 models.
18-577: Like most early Nikon Digital SLR cameras, it uses a " DX Format " sensor, which applies a crop factor compared to 35 mm film of approximately 1.5×. The D2Hs was announced on February 16, 2005, adding several improvements to the D2H design, although with the same sensor and body. Nikon added an improved light metering system, faster subject acquisition and tracking algorithms to the Multi-CAM-2000 Autofocus module, and expanded both
36-556: A wide-angle lens for 135 film effectively becomes a normal lens for the DX format (e.g. 28 mm x 1.5 = 42 mm 135 film equiv.). This has led to the increased development of the DX format-specific lenses for the Nikon F-mount . Since these lenses do not need to cover the 135 film area, they are smaller and lighter than their 135 format counterparts of equal angle-of-view. The production of DX-specific lenses has also enabled
54-461: A CPU ( microprocessor , introduced 1986) and additionally electronically communicate the focus distance information ('D' function, introduced 1992). Therefore, all lenses in this list support all Nikon DSLRs with all camera's exposure and Through-the-lens (TTL) metering modes including Matrix Metering mode, and also flash autoexposure like 3D (Color) Matrix Metering, D-TTL and the newer I-TTL also with Creative Lighting System (CLS). Besides
72-665: A continuous burst rate of up to 8 frames per second, with a buffer capacity of 50 JPEG files or 40 NEF (Nikon Electric Format- Nikon's proprietary Camera RAW image format) files. The 4.1 megapixel sensor has an ISO sensitivity equivalency of ISO 200–1600, in 1/3, 1/2, and 1 stop increments, as well as Hi-1 and Hi-2 ISO boosts (3200 and 6400 equivalency). It offers full compatibility with AF-S, VR, DX, D and G type AF-Nikkor lenses, all functions except autofocus and some exposure modes with D-type Manual Focus Nikkors, with AI-P Nikkors all functions except 3D Color Matrix Metering II, 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash and AF possible. The D2Hs, like
90-428: A lens of the same focal length. Strictly in angle-of-view terms, the effect is equivalent to increasing focal length by 50% on a 135 film camera, and so is often described as a 1.5x focal length multiplier . This effect can be advantageous for telephoto and macro photography as it produces a tighter crop without the need to increase actual focal length. However it becomes disadvantageous for wide-angle photography as
108-584: A noticeable improvement over the D2H in overall image quality and many users have reported that color rendition is improved in JPEG files (raw is the same), while the camera manages to offer a great improvement in noise at high sensitivities versus the D2H The D2H series has a relatively weak infrared (IR) filter, allowing infrared photography with the use of an IR bandpass filter, but contaminating regular images by causing certain dark-colored fabrics to take on
126-935: A slight magenta color cast. Skin tones may also appear slightly ruddy. Use of a No. 486 digital UV/IR blocking filter can help resolve the problem with lenses that are at least 50 mm or longer. Lenses shorter than 50 mm are not recommended for use with a No. 486 filter due to a tendency for the corners of the image to take on a cyan color cast.

144-489: Is an alternative name used by Nikon corporation for APS-C image sensor format being approximately 24x16 mm. Its dimensions are about 2 ⁄ 3 (29 mm vs 43 mm diagonal, approx.) those of the 35mm format . The format was created by Nikon for its digital SLR cameras , many of which are equipped with DX-sized sensors. DX format is very similar in size to sensors from Pentax , Sony and other camera manufacturers. All are referred to as APS-C , including
162-541: The Canon cameras with a slightly smaller sensor. Nikon has produced 23 lenses for the DX format , from macro to telephoto lenses. 35mm format lenses can also be used with DX format cameras, with additional advantages: less vignetting , less distortion and often better border sharpness . Disadvantages of 35mm lenses include generally higher weight and incompatible features such as autofocus with some lower-end DX cameras. Nikon has also produced digital SLRs that feature

Although the D2Hs has been considered by some to be obsolete from its very introduction due to its relatively low 4.1 megapixel resolution, the D2Hs has a reputation for extremely high image quality and excellent detail rendition. The D2Hs offers

All here not listed AF lenses without an autofocus motor do work fully, but lack autofocus-function on these cameras. Instead an electronic rangefinder can be used to find focus. Additionally all lenses in this list from Nikon and other manufacturers do integrate
234-552: The JPEG and RAW continuous shooting buffer. Nikon also reported improved noise reduction at high sensor sensitivities. The ASIC image processing was changed to 12-bit from the original D2H 8-bit. Auto White Balance was altered with improved low color temperature lighting, mixed ambient, and speedlight lighting. SYCC color space was added, and Exif compliance was adjusted from Exif 2.2 to Exif 2.21, DCF 2.0, and DPOF. GPS support and improved wireless support (with WT-2 transmitter for 802.11b/g) were also added. A new LCD screen of
252-1379: The image is captured, although all of them are classified as APS-C. Image sensors always have additional pixels around the active pixels, called dummy pixels (unmasked, working pixels) and optical black pixels (pixels which are covered by a mask used as a black-level reference). The size differences are minuscule and not noticeable in practice: (mm) (mm) pixels pixels * Coolpix A is a fixed-lens, compact camera .

270-479: The larger Nikon FX format sensor that is the size of the 135 film format. In 2013, Nikon introduced a high-end compact camera with a DX-sized sensor, the Nikon Coolpix A , featuring an 18.5 mm lens. The 1 ⁄ 3 smaller diagonal size of the DX format amounts to a 1 ⁄ 3 narrower angle of view than would be achieved with the 135 film format (35 mm film or FX format ), using
288-412: The production of affordable wide-angle lenses for the format (e.g., 12 mm), whereas costly ultra-wide-angle lenses from the 135 format were formerly required. When DX format lenses are used on 135 format cameras, vignetting often occurs, as the image circle does not cover the entire area of the 135 format. Nikon uses DX format sensors with slightly different active areas, which is the area where

The screen's playback mode now supports 15x zoom instead of the 8x of the D2H, with RGB Histogram. The menus have been expanded to include an additional 5 languages for a total of 10. Like the D2X, it features a recent settings list, world time function, and modified vertical shooting buttons and CompactFlash card door opening. The D2Hs features
