Fast. Focused Durable

The Nikon D780

BUILT TO POSITIONS: The Nikon D780 has everything photographers and filmers expect from a high-end DSLR - and more. In addition to an extremely light-sensitive 24-megapixel CMOS BSI sensor in FX format, it has two high-precision auto-focus systems that allow sensational tracking performance to safely track eyes in crowds. In addition, the camera has an ISO range of 100 – 51,200, which can be extended to ISO 50 to ISO 204,800, making sensational results possible even in low light. The optical viewfinder offers an ultra-sharp view of the motif and its large tilting monitor with approx. 2.36 million Images inspired for creative play with perspectives. Thanks to its ergonomically designed body, the dust and water resistant magnesium alloy housing and its long battery life, it proves to be a robust and durable companion anywhere.

With HDMI output, 10-bit N log and HLG support, the D780 offers multiple options for transferring and editing video data. Thanks to SnapBridge and built-in Wi-Fi, it also allows the permanent connection to a smart device as well as the transfer of images and films to computer.

24 megapixel CMOS BSI sensor in FX format.

EXCELLENT IMAGE QUALITY: The impressive image performance of the Nikon D780 is supported by an extremely light-sensitive FX format CMOS BSI sensor, which has an effective resolution of 24.5 megapixels. Whether stunning sharp photos or 4K UHD video, the shots impress with maximum detail, contrast and colour brilliance. Thanks to the extremely fast image processor, the Nikon D780 delivers crisp results with low image noise and amazing dynamic range - in any light.

Hybrid autofocus with 273 measuring fields and special eye AF

A new level of flexibility and precision: The D780 uses two high-precision autofocus systems. In live view mode, it uses a hybrid AF with single field control, whose 273 measuring fields safely capture motif structures in horizontal and vertical orientation. Depending on your needs, the camera uses the phase or contrast AF to perfectly track the sharpness even on small and unpredictably moving objects. In addition, the camera has a special eye AF that makes it possible to capture exceptional portraits. Even in crowds, it ensures safe recognition and tracking of faces and eyes. When shooting through the optical viewfinder, the D780 uses an AF system with 51 measuring fields, which has 15 cross sensors in the centre. Objects that move unpredictably are reliably captured by it, so that action-packed image series are possible at any time with continuous sharpness.

ISO 100-51,200 for excellent performance in any light situation.

Impressive performance where others already pack: Thanks to highly effective noise reduction algorithms, the Nikon D780 offers an ISO range of 100 - 51,200 that can even expand (from Lo 1 in accordance with ISO 50 to Hi 2 in accordance with ISO 204,800). Even in low light, the autofocus reliably captures every detail and you can achieve exceptionally clear and high-resolution recordings both at dusk and at night. You are also equipped for particularly dark situations: In M mode, you can choose exposure times of up to 900 seconds.

4K UHD video (30p), full HD (60p) and 7 fps series

The tool for rapid action: In the D780, a high-performance EXPEED 6 image processor works that provides impressive performance of speed, detail and precision. Capture your subjects in stunning sharp 4K UHD video (3840×2160/30p) or dramatic slow motion in Full HD (1920x1080/60p). The sound recording takes place by the built-in stereo microphone. Or capture motion sequences in high-speed photo burst - the D780 allows continuous shooting at up to 7 frames per second, with tracked autofocus and auto exposure. In silent mode (live view), up to 12 frames per second are possible.

Optical viewfinder with 100% image coverage.

THE WORLD IN REAL TIME - SUPERIOR CLEAR: The 0.70x optical viewfinder of the D780 covers the image 100% (horizontally and vertically) shows you every subject without delay and in unsurpassed detail. The monitor allows subsequent focus control with a 100% view by double clicking.

Tilting 3.2" LCD touch monitor with 2.36 million pixels.

Perspectives, preview and review made easy: The large LCD touch monitor with approx. 2.36 million 3.2 inch pixels can be tilted up and down and offers a generous 170° viewing angle. It inspires creative perspectives near the ground, allows exciting overhead shots and even allows selfies. In addition to the live view preview, it also allows subsequent editing of photos directly in the camera.

10-bit N-log for professional post production.

Exactly what bloggers and vloggers need: With its HDMI output and features such as 10-bit N log and HLG support, the D780 offers a variety of possibilities for transferring and editing of video films. To give videos in post production a professional look, the 4:2:2 10-bit N-log output via HDMI opens up a significantly extended colour depth, which approx. 1.07 billion colours and a wide dynamic range of 12 light values. In addition to a finer tone gradation in shadow and light areas, a more effective degree of colours is also possible.

Connectivity through SnapBridge and built-in WiFi

The Nikon D780 is compatible with SnapBridge - an app that connects the camera to your smart device. Once you have installed SnapBridge* on your smart device, Bluetooth allows permanent connection and an automatic image transfer to your smart device, either immediately after recording or later. With each picture, the camera receives information from the smart device about location, date and time of recording. Thanks to SnapBridge, you can also use your smart device as a remote control. The D780 can also be connected to a PC via built-in Wi-Fi to transfer JPEG/RAW images immediately after recording via the STATION and BASESTATION modes. This supports transfer rates of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The optional wireless LAN adapter WT-7 allows wireless or wired connections over long distances.
