D80 Feature and Performance Highlights
The D80's new 10.2-megapixel Nikon DX format image sensor and advanced image processing engine are only part of the D80 story.

• Nikon's exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II assures accurate exposures along with Variable-Size Center-Weighted Metering and a choice of 11 Spot Meters linked to each of the 11 AF sensors.
• Start-up takes a mere 0.18 seconds and shutter release time lag is only 80 milliseconds, delivering instant response that's as much as 32% faster than competing cameras. The D80 shoots at up to 3 frames per second in continuous bursts of up to 100 JPEG images.
• The EN-EL3e rechargeable lithium-ion battery allows as many as 2,700 images per charge*.
• New exclusive in-camera image editing functions include...
  • D-Lighting, which automatically balances lighting and brings out detail to enhance results.
  • In-camera Red-eye correction automatically detects and compensates for red-eye.
  • Images can be trimmed within the camera to produce smaller files with reduced display sizes.
  • Image Overlay merges a pair of selected D80 RAW files to create a separate composite image within the camera.
  • Monochrome settings (Black-and-white, Sepia, Cyanotype)
  • Filter Effects (Skylight, Warm Tone, Customized Colors)
• Nikon's advanced Multi-CAM 1000 AF Sensor Module, the core technology of which was introduced in the D200, ensures consistently fast and precise focus lock under varying shooting conditions.
• A new 2.5-inch TFT LCD color monitor with 170-degree wide angle makes image and menu viewing easier.
• D80 incorporates 7 Digital Vari-Programs (Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Macro Close-up, Sports, Night Landscape, and Night Portrait) enabling photographers to capture remarkable pictures with ease—automatically. Appealing to photo enthusiasts who enjoy personal control, the D80 features Programmed Auto with Flexible Program; Shutter-Priority Auto; Aperture Priority Auto; and Manual.
• D80's Speedlight with Nikon's exclusive i-TTL flash control is available when natural lighting is inadequate and adds balanced fill flash to offset backlighting. Of course, the D80 offers full support for the Nikon Advanced Wireless Lighting System, letting the built-in Speedlight function as a remote commander that provides direct control over two remote groups of wireless SB-600, SB-800 or SB-R200 Speedlights.
• Precision advanced Auto White Balance (AWB) produces natural coloration by matching white balance to the light source.
• The D80 also offers a variety of built-in slideshow options, including style selections such as the Pictmotion option that controls transitions and background music. Shows can be enjoyed on the camera's 2.5-inch LCD monitor or on a television, with audio when connected via the supplied AV cable.
