[Press Release] Nikon Luncurkan Kamera Kompak Premium Seri DL Terdiri Nikon DL18-50, Nikon DL24-85 dan Nikon DL24-500

Nikon memasuki kamera kompak premium dengan tiga model kamera kompak baru bersensor 1″. Tiga kamera tersebut adalah Nikon DL18-50, DL24-85 dan DL-24-500, yang mampu meng-cover hampir semua rentang panjang fokus dari wide hingga tele. Nikon DL saling berbagi sensor, prosesor gambar, sistem autofocus dan dukungan untuk video 4K (dengan output clean HDMI). Bagian dari desain, terutama tata letak kontrol, sangat menyerupai seri kamera mirrorless Nikon 1.

Sensor yang digunakan adalah 20.8MP berukuran 1 ” sejenis sensor BSI CMOS seperti yang digunakan pada kamera mirrorless Nikon 1 J5. Prosesor image-nya adalah EXPEED 6A yang baru, memungkinkan pengambilan foto hingga ISO 12800 dan merekam video 4K pada 30p. Ketiga menggunakan teknologi ‘Dual Detect VR’, yang digabungkan dengan data dari sensor kecepatan sudut dan adegan obyek itu sendiri untuk mengurangi efek goyangan.

Pada lensa terdapat lapisan fluor untuk menjaga kelembaban dan agar anti minyak. Masing-masing memiliki fokus cincin panduan mengeliling lensa.

Untuk layar masing-masing memiliki LCD OLED 3″ dapat dioperasikan dengan sentuhan (touchscreen), dapat dimiringkan pada DL18-50 dan DL24-85 dan sepenuhnya dapat diputar pada DL24-500. Kesemuanya sudah memiliki Wi-Fi dengan NFC, ditambah ‘SnapBridge’ teknologi Nikon, yang menggunakan bluetooth untuk menjaga koneksi antara kamera dan ponsel, sehingga tidak perlu sering re-pair. Baterai pada ketiga model DL mampu hingga 290 tembakan / charge (standar CIPA).

Salah satu fitur yang dapat membuat seri Nikon DL berbeda dari kamera sensor 1″ jenis lain adalah sistem AF Hybrid, yang menggabungkan 105 titik phase detect dengan 171 titik contrast detect. Hal ini memungkinkan kamera untuk menembak pada 20 fps dengan AF tracking secara terus menerus, jika dengan single AF, makabisa lebih cepat hingga 60 fps.

Ketiga kamera akan tersedia pertengahan tahun ini dengan harga untuk DL 24-85 adalah USD $649, untuk DL18-50 adalah USD $849 dan untuk DL24-500 adalah USD $999.

Nikon DL18-50

Kamera pertama DL18-50 memiliki lensa paling wide yang biasanya cocok bagi antusias atau fotografer street. Lensanya memiliki focal length setara dengan 18-50mm dan rentang aperture maksimum yang cepat F1.8-2.8. Lensa memiliki 3-stop ND filter dan kamera kompak pertama Nikon yang memiliki Nano Cyrstal Coating untuk mengurangi flare dan ghosting.

Lensa memiliki tujuh blade aperture dan memiliki kecepatan shutter tertinggi 1/1600 detik. Selain itu juga built-in koreksi perspektif, yang terutama berguna saat pengambilan gambar arsitektur.

Kamera memiliki kontrol penuh bagi pengguna, dukungan RAW, layar LCD dapat dimiringkan dan dukungan video 4K 30p. Untuk aksesoris DL18-50 mendukung EVF OLED eksternal dengan 2.36M titik. Tanpa built-in flash tetapi sudah memiliki hot-shoe.

Nikon DL24-85

Nikon DL24-85 sangat mirip dengan saudaranya DL18-50 yang wide, baik di dalam maupun tampilan luar. Perbedaan utama adalah lensa kamera ini jangkauannya lebih jauh/tele yaitu 24-85mm F1.8-2.8, tetapi tanpa filter ND dan Nano Crystal Coating. Fitur menonjol adalah kemampuan untuk mengambil ukuran sebenarnya, foto makro 1:1, dengan jarak fokus minimum 3cm. Fotografer makro juga dapat memanfaatkan fokus peaking dan bracketing serta petunjuk prioritas AF.

Nikon DL24-500

Kamera DL24-500 ini merupakan model zoom tele. Seperti namanya, ia memiliki lensa equivalen dengan 24-500mm, dengan rentang aperture maksimal F2.8-5.6. Berbeda dengan dua model sebelunya, DL24-500 memiliki layar yang sepenuhnya dapat diputar dan juga built-in viewfinder OLED. Ini juga satu-satunya model DL dengan input jack mic, dengan dukungan aksesoris senapan mic Nikon ME-1.

THE NIKON DL PREMIUM COMPACT SERIES: PUTTING POCKETABLE POWER AND LEGENDARY NIKKOR LENS PRECISION INTO THE HANDS OF PASSIONATE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Pairing a Large 1-Inch Sensor with Superior NIKKOR Lens Technology, Nikon’s New Compact DL24-85, DL18-50 and DL24-500 Will Help Capture Stunning Images and 4K UHD Video

MELVILLE, NY (Monday, February 22, 2016 at 11:01 P.M. EST) – Today, Nikon Inc. announced the new DL Series of premium compact cameras. These pocketable yet powerful imaging tools offer an elite level of imaging prowess that fits easily in one’s palm. Equipped with a variety of focal lengths optimized for different types of shooters, the DL24-85, DL18-50 and DL24-500 combine powerful NIKKOR optics with a large 20.8-megapixel (CX-format) 1-inch BSI CMOS sensor to produce stunning image quality and amazingly detailed images, even when shooting in low-light. Cameras in the new DL line will also feature powerful performance, with high-speed Autofocus (AF) and 20 frames-per-second (60 fps with fixed AF) continuous shooting capability for fast action moments, as well as 4K UHD video recording for users to tell their stories in new ways. Ergonomically designed and familiar for advanced users, all three cameras will utilize the new Nikon SnapBridge connectivity to make it easier than ever to shoot and share with ease.

“We recognize consumers’ desire for smaller cameras capable of outstanding image quality,” said Masahiro Horie, Director of Marketing and Planning, Nikon Inc. “With the new DL line, Nikon is proud to fuse legendary NIKKOR optics with the latest innovations in imaging to provide advanced photographers amazingly compact tools capable of capturing photos and video that even the most discerned professional would be proud of.”

The Nikon DL Series: Powerful Performance, Superior Optics

The new DL line of premium compact cameras packs innovative and powerful imaging technology into elegantly designed yet remarkably compact camera bodies, making it easier than ever to carry pure imaging prowess in the palm of one’s hand. All of these new cameras are designed with a 20.8-megapixel CX-format (1-inch) BSI CMOS sensor, which when combined with fast, high quality NIKKOR glass, help to create stunning image quality for stills or 4K UHD video. Working alongside the new sensor is the new EXPEED 6A image processor that allows for impressive noise reduction and powerful, fast performance, making it possible to capture stunning low-light street photography, beautiful portraits or spectacular landscapes with ease.

For fleeting moments and fast-action, the DL line incorporates a high-speed hybrid autofocus (AF) system featuring 105 phase detect focus areas (with 171 focus points in contrast detect AF mode), as well as continuous shooting up to an incredible 20 fps, with capability to capture up to a blazing fast 60 fps with focus locked on the first frame. The DL series also features Dual Detect Optical VR technology to compensate for camera shake while handheld or at slower shutter speeds.

Continuing the impressive legacy of NIKKOR glass, each new DL camera features a unique lens design capable of amazing resolution and beautiful background blur (bokeh), with impressively fast apertures. The lens barrel also includes a manual focus ring, giving users enhanced control over focus on any subject.

Each NIKKOR lens is also equipped with a fluorine coating that helps repel dirt, water and oil, and also facilitates easy cleaning. For the first time in a Nikon compact camera, the DL18-50’s NIKKOR lens will utilize Nano Crystal Coat to help reduce ghost and flare, particularly useful when shooting at a wide-angle. With the best NIKKOR technologies now integrated into compact camera models, users will be able to capture phenomenal images with amazing detail time and time again.

Control and Versatility

The DL24-85, DL18-50 and DL24-500 put creative control in the hands of each photographer and are all operated using the familiar Nikon DSLR menu design and an assortment of physical controls. The series also supports RAW (NEF) image capture, full PSAM manual controls and over 20 preset creative options, for use in both still and video shooting (including Picture Control, Creative mode, Multiple Exposure Lighten) to help challenge each user to expand their photographic horizons.

The DL line provides the tools to frame nearly every shot, with all three cameras sporting high-resolution 1,037k-dot OLED Touch displays. While the DL24-85 and DL18-50 allow for tilting, the DL24-500’s display provides full Vari-angle capability, vitally important when shooting from unique perspectives. Even further customization and control is possible utilizing the hot shoe/accessory shoe available on DL24-85 and DL18-50 models that allows for complete system expandability with the DF-E1 optional electronic viewfinder. The DL24-500 also sports a hot shoe and a stereo microphone input jack, while all three models are compatible with Nikon i-TTL Speedlights.

Seamlessly Shoot and Share

Nikon SnapBridge makes it easier than ever to shoot and share amazing images with friends and family. Available throughout Nikon’s newest line of premium compacts, SnapBridge utilizes Bluetooth®¹ low energy technology (BLE) to provide an “always on” connection to a compatible²smart device. Users can now seamlessly send images from their camera to a smart device (utilizing the new SnapBridge app) for easy sharing via social networks or to the cloud for instant storage. An unlimited number of thumbnails and 20 GB of storage will also be available for registered Nikon owners and SnapBridge users on Nikon Image Space, Nikon’s free image storing service. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi3 and NFC remain available to help facilitate easy connection and sharing.

Through Nikon SnapBridge, users can also operate their cameras remotely using the app, automatically synchronize time and location information to any image utilizing the camera’s constant connection to a compatible smart device, as well as embed information on any image, including copyright or photographers’ names. Lastly, firmware updates have never been easier, as Nikon will send registered users firmware information via the new SnapBridge application, directly to their smart device.

4K Video Capability

The DL series will be among Nikon’s first compact offerings to support 4K UHD video capability [3840×2160] at 30p, affording users the ability to capture incredibly beautiful video with remarkable detail, all with a compact camera. Multimedia photographers will have free reign over their creative vision with the ability to utilize PSAM selectable exposure modes while recording, alongside popular movie features like HDMI output to an external recorder, slow motion to 1200 fps and the ability to grab stills from video. Other creative video functions available include: Full HD movie, HD movie, Motion Snapshot, Slow motion, 4-second movie, Time-lapse movie, Superlapse movie and Jump cut.

The 24-85mm offering also features Dual Detect Optical VR, AF bracketing and a tilting Touch OLED display to make composing from creative angles easier than ever.

Macro photographers can utilize a variety of camera functions within the mode, including focus bracketing, manual priority AF (M/A) mode and peaking indication, to truly customize the look and feel of every image.
