Nikon présente son premier microphone stéréo externe, le ME-1. Conçu pour amplifier les capacités des reflex numériques Nikon en matière de vidéo, ce microphone unidirectionnel produit un son clair et net, sans bruit indésirable dû à son utilisation.

Excellent complément au kit de n'importe quel vidéaste averti, il rehausse la qualité de l'enregistrement audio : les vidéos réalisées avec un reflex numérique offrent désormais un son à hauteur de leur image.

Une qualité audio supérieure pour les reflex numériques

 

Avec le ME-1, Nikon renouvelle son engagement envers une grande flexibilité en matière d’enregistrement de vidéos. Développé pour capturer un son stéréo de qualité professionnelle dans une grande diversité de situations, ce microphone vient renforcer D-Movie, la célèbre fonction vidéo extrêmement sophistiquée des reflex numériques Nikon, et offre une alternative intelligente au microphone intégré de l’appareil photo.

Un son stéréo cristallin

 

Conçu spécifiquement pour les utilisateurs de reflex numériques, le ME-1 est doté d'un mécanisme de réduction des vibrations, qui élimine les bruits indésirables parfois provoqués par l'autofocus. Ce microphone unidirectionnel offre une prise ciblée et précise. Il permet ainsi aux utilisateurs d'enregistrer exactement qu'ils souhaitent entendre. Toute interférence due à un bruit externe peut être supprimée au moyen du coupe-vent (inclus). De plus, un filtre passe-haut offre un contrôle accru sur les bruits à basse fréquence. La sensibilité du microphone peut également être ajustée à partir du menu de l’appareil photo, ce qui permet d’intervenir sur les bruits ou sons environnants.

Le ME-1, qui se monte aisément sur le contact direct de l’appareil photo, est alimenté par celui-ci. Par ailleurs, son design ergonomique et intelligent apporte un confort inégalé lors de la prise de vue à main levée. Son petit format permet un accès facile au viseur. Il est équipé d’une butée pratique qui garde le câble à l'écart.

Destiné à tous les reflex numériques et modèles COOLPIX de Nikon équipés d’un connecteur 3,5 mm pour les microphones externes, le ME-1 est fourni avec un coupe-vent et un étui souple.

Canon Rebel T1i 500D and Nikon D5000 for DSLR Beginning Photographers

Wiley published two new Books about the Canon Rebel T1i / 500D (outside US) and the Nikon D5000 for Digital SLR Novices Photographers

“These books are the result of meeting so many people who gave up trying to learn from traditional photography books and magazines, which tend to feature technical lingo and advanced topics that are tough for beginners to decipher. As a result, they didn’t have the knowledge they needed to achieve the professional results they envisioned when they invested in their cameras. These books, by contrast, explain all the features of the latest entry level DSLR cameras, as well as how handle common tasks like getting images onto a PC and printing, in simple, straighforward language." The assumption is that the reader has little to no knowledge of general photography terms or techniques. The goal of each book is to familiarize the reader with the controls and features of their camera so they can apply them to any shooting situation. Chapters cover: • Shooting in auto-mode • Adjusting image quality and size • Reviewing images • Controlling exposure • Using focus features • Managing color • Printing and sharing • Exploring the on-board controls • Using live view and playback modes • Dialing in exposure and lighting controls • Manipulating focus and color controls • Situational shooting and video recording • Getting pics onto a PC for editing • Printing, posting online, and other ways to share images • Part of Tens including ten editing tricks and pro functions Julie Adair King has been covering digital cameras and photography for over a decade. Along with the previous six editions of Digital Photography For Dummies, Julie Adair King has also written For Dummies guides covering specific Nikon and Canon digital SLR cameras, as well as Digital Photos Projects For Dummies. She also works one-on-one with beginning digital photographers in the classroom at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre.

Nikon COOLPIX L19 Feature Highlights

Intelligent automation contributes to carefree shooting - Easy Auto Mode simplifies photography by taking control of settings; just turn on the camera and shoot freely. Activated in Easy Auto Mode, Nikon's Scene Auto Selector eliminates the need to manually select a scene mode to match the shot, making it faster and easier to capture the moment in beautiful fashion. The COOLPIX L19 use this intelligent function to analyze the subject and its surrounding settings and automatically selects the most appropriate scene mode to achieve optimal results.

Nikon's exclusive Smart Portrait System - Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the shot, Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smile Mode helps to faithfully record precious moments by automatically releasing the shutter when the subject smiles. Blink Warning displays an alert when it suspects that a subject has blinked. Now featuring faster processing speed, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.

A trio of advanced image stabilizing features helps ensure sharper results - Motion Detection automatically controls shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for subject movement as well as camera shake. ISO 1600 capability allows faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. And, Nikon's original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus.

AA-size battery for shoot-anywhere convenience - The COOLPIX L19 is powered by AA-size battery, for the added advantage of being able to pick up a new set in virtually any corner of the world. That means shooting with reassuring freedom from any worries about recharging or running out of power when a special shutter chance presents itself.

Nouveau reflex digital professionnel Nikon D3X

Le Nikon D3X avec 24,5 millions de pixels

Elaboré en s'appuyant sur la fiabilité, les commandes et la robustesse du D3, le D3X offre un capteur d'image d'une définition nettement supérieure à celle du D3, établissant ainsi de nouvelles bases en termes de qualité d'image. Le tout nouveau capteur CMOS 24,5 millions de pixels fait de cet appareil photo une excellente solution pour les conditions de prise de vue les plus diverses, en studio comme en extérieur. Il sera particulièrement apprécié par les photographes exigeants dans les domaines de la photographie de nature, du travail en studio et de la mode.

« Il s'agit de l'appareil photo que de nombreux photographes professionnels attendaient » a déclaré Robert Cristina, responsable des produits professionnels et NPS chez Nikon Europe. « Tout comme le D3 est devenu l'appareil de prédilection des professionnels en photographie de sport, la définition extrême du D3X permettra de franchir un seuil dans les domaines de la photographie publicitaire, de la photographie de mode et des banques d'images. Le résultat parle de lui-même : il s'agit sans aucun doute de l'appareil photo de plus haute qualité que nous ayons créé à cette date. »

Capteur, plage de sensibilité et fonction LiveView - Le D3X intègre un capteur d'image CMOS au format FX spécialement développé avec lecture sur 12 canaux, microlentilles permettant une meilleure couverture des photodiodes et réduction du bruit avancée. Il offre des niveaux inégalés de cadence de prise de vue et de gestion du bruit aux sensibilités élevées sans sacrifier la précision. Le D3X bénéficie d’une large plage de sensibilités, de 100 à 1600 ISO, extensible de 50 à 6400 ISO, avec une cadence de 5 vps à la définition maximale ou 7 vps en mode de recadrage DX 10 MP. Le système autofocus plébiscité MultiCAM3500FX à 51 collimateurs permet une précision extrême et un suivi dynamique remarquable pour les sujets en mouvement rapide sous faible luminosité. La fonction LiveView offre une option de prise de vue confortable, parfaite pour le travail en studio ou d'autres situations qui ne permettent pas d'utiliser le viseur. L'appareil photo présente également une excellente réactivité, avec un démarrage de seulement 0,12 secondes et une réponse au déclenchement de 40 ms. L'obturateur en composite Kevlar et fibres de carbone a été conçu pour satisfaire aux exigences d'une utilisation professionnelle et testé sur 300 000 cycles.

Des images de qualité - Le D3X intègre les tout derniers développements en matière de conception de capteurs et de technologie de traitement d'image. Conçu pour créer des fichiers susceptibles de satisfaire aux exigences de demain dans les domaines de la publicité et des banques d'images, l'appareil photo fournit des fichiers NEF (Raw) 14 bits de 50 Mo. Le logiciel Capture NX2 permet de jouer sur le terrain du moyen format en convertissant les fichiers NEF en 140 Mo (TIFF-RVB 16 bits). Les petits détails sont reproduits avec une netteté exceptionnelle, tandis que les zones d'ombre et de hautes lumières présentent des dégradés au crénelage minimal, pour des photos à l'apparence unique.

Commandes intuitives - Le D3X est doté de la même ergonomie et des mêmes commandes que le D3, lesquelles ont été conçues pour permettre à tous de travailler rapidement et efficacement. Le viseur sobre et lumineux assure une couverture de l'image à 100 %, tandis que le moniteur haute définition TFT VGA, 3 pouces, 920 000 pixels, permet une visualisation d'une qualité exceptionnelle pour une évaluation instantanée de l'image. Le boîtier en magnésium du D3X, étanche à l'humidité et à la poussière, est également compatible avec le système de communication sans fil Nikon WT-4 et le nouveau module GPS GP-1. En outre, il possède une sortie HDMI et un double emplacement pour cartes CF.

Début de commercialisation : 19 décembre 2008 au prix de vente conseillé de 7499 €.*

* Les prix locaux et les dates de sortie peuvent varier selon la région. Les caractéristiques et l'équipement sont sujets à modification sans préavis ni obligation de la part du fabricant.
