3D Color Matrix Metering
Performance-proven 3D Color
Matrix Metering, originally designed
for the Nikon F5, is also incorporated
into the D1. This metering mode can
handle even the most difficult light-
ing conditions, assuring you of the
best possible exposure for every shot.

Center-Weighted Metering
This mode affords you a high degree
of control. The meter concentrates
75% of its sensitivity on the 8mm-diameter
circle while feathering the rest out to the
edges, resulting in excellent overall balance.

Spot Metering
The Spot Metering mode offers pinpoint
accuracy, reading a 4mm-diameter circle,
which is approx. 2% of the imaging area.
As you change the selected focus area
manually (choose from five areas), the

TTL White Balance
To complement the high-precision Auto
mode with its extremely natural coloration,
the D1 provides Preset mode and Manual
mode for white balance settings.
In Preset mode, a value previously mea-
sured by TTL white balance can be stored
and recalled. Manual mode provides six
settings; 1) Incandescent light,
2) Fluorescent light, 3) Fine weather,
4) Cloudy weather, 5) Shade and 6) Flash
condition, with further seven-step fine-tun-
ing according to your preference.

tion. If the subject moves out of the selected
focus area, Dynamic AF instantly shifts the
focus to another of the five areas. In (S) AF

analyzes the speed and anticipates the
direction of movement of the subject
while driving the autofocus. Focus

however, you prefer a lighter or heavier
tone, you can choose from four preset tone
curves via Custom Setting #24. And, using
the optional “Nikon Capture” Control
Software, you can even create an original

Charge-coupled electronic
and mechanical shutters
If intense light is
received by the
CCD during data
processing, this can
adversely affect the
data, resulting in the
emergence of smear.
The D1 alleviates
this problem by incor-
porating a mechanical
shutter in addition to
the charge-coupled
electronic shutter to
cut out the light,
enabling the CCD to
capture high-quality
images.

Fill-Flash for D1
Nikon’s exclusive 3D Multi-Sensor
Balanced Fill-Flash for the D1,
controlled by the five-segment TTL
Multi Sensor, is available when used
with SB-28DX and D-type Nikkor lens.
The D1’s built-in computer calculates
the proper flash output level according to
the data from the TTL Multi Sensor,
lens aperture and distance information
with the results of 3D Color Matrix
Metering to create a beautifully balanced
picture, even in difficult situations like a
scene with a reflective background, or
with no background such as when
shooting at night.
