hey everyone airone Elijah here with cul
0:02
amac.com I know you guys have seen
0:03
several D4 posts that I've done I have
0:06
finally laid my hands on the machine
0:08
itself I'm here with Lindsay hi Lindsay
0:10
and thank you for the wink and he's
0:12
going to go through a quick uh Hands-On
0:14
of this camera and some of the new
0:15
features lindsy it's all you so first
0:18
let me I'm going to have D4 speak for
0:20
itself
0:23
okay sounds like you're firing a machine
0:25
gun right 10 frame per second right
0:28
autofocus performance on an fx format
0:31
sensor original Nikon design 16.2
0:33
megapix sensor D4 has got improvements
0:37
all over the place refinements
0:39
improvements and newness that we haven't
0:41
seen before in allas so for
0:43
photographers we've got a
0:45
91,000 yeah you heard it
0:48
91,000 RGB pixels we upped it from the
0:51
D3 from
0:52
1,05 to 91,000 so more accurate exposure
0:57
more accurate white balance more
0:58
accurate igl
1:00
greater accuracy and subject tracking
1:03
we've also got uh built into the camera
1:05
for those like me I'm really into this
1:07
stuff it's got built in HDR so you can
1:09
shoot High dynamic range one of those
1:11
cool geoid features but I happen to be a
1:12
geoid so I love okay okay so we got a
1:15
brand new design element on the camera
1:17
it's really more curvaceous it is more
1:19
curvaceous one of the first things I
1:20
noticed one of the comments one of the
1:22
comments with beginning is boy it feels
1:23
really light it's only 3 o Li than d3s
1:26
but the new design really lends itself
1:28
to feeling light
1:30
when we at the back of the camera we've
1:32
got some new joystick controls all the
1:34
important buttons on the camera are
1:36
backl illuminated so the camera can
1:38
shoot up to a remarkable 204 800 excuse
1:42
me
1:44
24,800 ISO which is really dim lighting
1:47
now you'll be able to see in that
1:48
lighting to set the camera so the
1:50
controls are are back up now for those
1:53
transitioning or needing to shoot video
1:56
T4 really really rocks it's got 1080p at
1:59
24 25 and 30 frames per second it's got
2:02
720p at 60 frames per second D4 the only
2:05
camera that I know of that can actually
2:07
crop to DX sensor size at 1.5x still
2:11
give you 1080p there's also an
2:13
additional 2.7x crop mode guess what
2:16
1080p so whether you're shooting full
2:19
frame DX or 2.7x you don't lose any
2:23
resolution when shooting video on the
2:25
video
2:28
side we've got V Peak meters so you can
2:31
monitor sound we've got this a headphone
2:33
jack so you can actually monitor sound
2:35
wearing headphones we've got an HDMI
2:37
output so you can actually output
2:40
through HDMI to an external recorder
2:42
uncompressed video really cool there's a
2:45
feature called simultaneous live view
2:47
where you can see the live view screen
2:49
and go out from an HDMI to an external
2:52
monitor at the same time so for
2:54
videographers the camera is really
2:56
really really really improved over
2:58
anything we've ever had and for still
3:00
photographers the camera is just like
