considers lighting conditions and possibilities, aperture, shutter speed, white
balance, hue, tone, sharpening and more to make creative photography as simple

Nikon's Smallest Digital SLR Ever!
Beautifully styled, the D60 makes high-performance digital SLR photography
easier and more convenient than ever. You'll be amazed at the power packed into
a camera that weighs just over 16 ounces.
2.5-Inch, Color LCD Screen with 170-Degree Wide-Angle Viewing
Playback images are easy to see and function menus are easier to use with a
larger and brighter color LCD monitor. The large 2.5-inch LCD monitor enables
image preview at up to 19 times magnification and has large type fonts with
easy-to-view menus. Auto rotating LCD display provides automatic horizontal and
vertical graphic display orientation.
Advanced HELP Menu System with Assist Images
The D60's Assist Images help you select the appropriate settings for many
camera features by showing an example image typical of that setting, as well as
an advanced HELP Menu for the current item selected. The D60's Question Mark
icon (?) indicates that help is available for the currently selected item; just
press the HELP button beside the LCD monitor to see a context-sensitive HELP
page.
Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II
The D60's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness,
color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus
area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an
onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result
delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in
challenging lighting conditions.
Image Optimization Options
The D60's Optimize Image setting lets photographers adjust color, contrast
and sharpening, as well as other image settings, according to the type of scene
or output desired. Settings include: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid,
Portrait, Custom and Black and White, each of which are automatically adjusted
based on sophisticated Nikon algorithms or user-selected settings for optimum
results.
Built-in Speedlight with i-TTL Automatic Flash Control
Nikon's innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with
incredible precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver
outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always at the ready and brings
beautiful exposures in darkened conditions, as well as adding sparkle for fill
flash in outdoor situations for enhanced twilight shots or an added impact to
daylight images. In low-light or back-light situations, added illumination from
the built-in Speedlight can make the difference between an average snapshot and
a dazzling picture.
Fast, Accurate 3-Area Autofocus
The D60's advanced 3-Area AF system and the refined algorithms inherited
from more advanced Nikon digital SLR cameras deliver fast, efficient and precise
Autofocus. AF refinements deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent
subject acquisition and improved focus tracking for consistently sharper
pictures.

Highly versatile in-camera editing features through the Retouch Menu include
Nikon D-Lighting, Red-Eye Correction, Image Trim, Image Overlay, Monochrome
(Black and White, Sepia and Cyanotype) along with Skylight, Warm Tone and Color
Balance filter effects. New effects and controls include Quick Retouch, NEF
(RAW) Processing, Cross Star and Color Intensifier filters. This provides
greater creative freedom without the need for a computer for those who prefer to
send pictures directly to a printer.

fun to your pictures.
Up to 500 Images per Battery Charge
