Another switch by the lens mount lets you choose between Manual, Single or Continuous auto focus. Like the D300, a three-way switch on the back of the camera allows you to select between Single Point AF (where you choose the focus point manually using the rocker), Dynamic Area AF (which can track a moving subject) and Auto-area AF (which detects subjects like people against backgrounds). It’s a very impressive specification when the total number of AF points on rival systems doesn’t even match the number of cross-type sensors on the Nikons. The 51 AF points cover a broad area of the frame – as seen in the viewfinder image on the previous page – and no fewer than 15 of them are cross-type. The Nikon D700 inherits the powerful 51-point AF system of the D3 and D300, using the same Multi-CAM 3500FX sensor as the D3. We had the pleasure of using this lens during our D700 test period and it really is a joy for anyone who’s into wide angle photography – see our Gallery and Results pages for examples taken with it.

It’s fine to get you started, but if you really want to see what the D700 is capable of, you should really fit a higher-end model like the excellent AF-S 14-24mm. This delivers a useful general-purpose range complete with Vibration Reduction, but is not one of the best models in the Nikkor catalogue. In terms of lens kits, the D700 will be available in a bundle with the Nikkor 24-120mm VR lens. Since DX lenses are only corrected for a smaller sensor area you’ll unsurprisingly see image quality fall off significantly in the corners, but this will vary between lenses and some may deliver an acceptable image area a little beyond the standard DX crop.

The D700 is additionally lacking the D3’s 5:4 recording mode, but if you disable Auto DX Crop and select FX format for Image Area, the D700 will use its full sensor area and resolution with a DX lens. Unlike the flagship D3 which can shoot more quickly in DX mode, the continuous shooting speed on the D700 remains the same regardless of its image area. So in DX mode, that maximum resolution falls from 12 Megapixels to just five. It’s neat to support DX lenses, but the downside to not using the full sensor area is not recording images with the full sensor resolution. Since you’re effectively using the same sensor area, the same DX field reduction of 1.5 times still applies, so an 18mm lens will deliver a field of view equivalent to 27mm. This area is indicated by a frame in the D700’s viewfinder, although in Live View the D700 simply scales the cropped image to fit the screen.

Unlike Canon’s full-frame DSLRs, you can also use DX-format lenses on the D700 which are designed for its cropped-frame bodies like the D300 and D80.īy default when a DX lens is mounted on the D700, it switches to a crop mode which only uses a smaller area of the sensor measuring 23.5×15.6mm – the same size as the DX-format sensors on models like the D300 and D80. The less sophisticated (but still capable) Colour Matrix Metering system is supported on non-CPU lenses if you enter their focal length and maximum aperture into the D700 there’s room to store details of nine different non-CPU lenses with focal lengths from 6 to 4000mm and apertures from f1.2 to f22.Īs a full-frame DSLR, the D700 doesn’t apply a field-reduction factor to lenses you attach, so for example, a 24mm lens really will deliver the same field of view as it would on a 35mm film SLR.

There’s detailed compatibility charts in the D700 manual or specification sheets, but just briefly you’ll need a Type G or D AF (including AF-S and AF-I) Nikkor to support all functions including the most sophisticated 3D Colour Matrix Metering II system.

The Nikon D700 features an F-mount which can accommodate most Nikkor lenses, and like all Nikon DSLRs, you’ll need recent lenses to support the full focusing and metering modes.
