It also comes with an in-built Scene Recognition System to offer accurate color and fine detailed portraits and overwhelming landscapes; Nikon’s exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II and Active D-Lighting to provide realistic contrast and accurate exposures while taking images.

With the included Nikon’s Picture Control System, users can adjust the photos to pre-set parameters such as Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome and sharpen the image accordingly. Besides, It also comes embedded with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System (CLS), Nikon’s GP-1 GPS receiver, support for USB and WT-4a wireless transmitter.
Moreover, it also has the ability to withstand moisture, dust and shock, due to its resilient magnesium alloy body.
