![]() The Nikon D810's Live View implementation features only a single Live View mode where the mirror is locked up, and AF is performed using the contrast detection method. This lever can be set to either “live view photography” or “movie live view”, each of which is denoted by a little, self-explanatory icon. The Live View button on the rear is encircled by a two-way Live View mode selector. ![]() Face Detect AF can also now be toggled on or off while shooting through the viewfinder. New to the D810 is the Group Area AF mode, which lets you assign 5 AF points that can be moved across the 51-point array as the subject demands, making it easier to track smaller moving subjects. The settings are displayed in the viewfinder and the top-mounted status LCD. To cycle through the available AF Area modes, use the sub command dial instead. You can toggle between AF-S and AF-C modes by holding down this button, with the switch in the ‘AF' position, and turning the rear control wheel. To wit, the focus mode switch has a small button at its hub. Cycling through the available options (single, 9-, 21- and 51-point dynamic, 3D tracking, auto area and group area) is done in a similar vein as on the D4 and D7000. The focus mode switch has two positions only, AF and M. That's about it for the visual differences between the new D810 and the older D800/E, so upgraders will feel instantly at home with the latest iteration. On the left-hand flank, the various ports are now covered by three seperate flaps, rather than one large one, while the memory card door has been rubberised. There's a new "i" button on the rear, and a new metering button on the release mode dial on the top of the camera. Th PV and Fn buttons on the front are now round and smaller, while microphone holes and the bracketing button have been added to the front plate. The control layout is broadly similar to that of the Nikon D800, which is a good thing in our book - but there are some differences. Weighing in at 880 grams the D810 is very slightly lighter, feeling reassuringly hefty in your hand. It features a redesigned, deeper and narrower hand-grip, while the overall shape of the camera body is as rounded and streamlined as its predecessor, with near identical dimensions. Outwardly, the Nikon D810 is very similar to the D800/E. With a new 36-megapixel, the D810 remains the highest resolution 35mm size digital SLR camera in the world. The Nikon D810 is the successor to both the D800 and D800E cameras. The Nikon D810 replaces both the D800 and D800E models and is available body-only for £2699.99 / €3299 / $3299.95. Other highlights include a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port, microphone and headphone jacks, dual CF/SD memory card slots, an intelligent self-diagnostic shutter rated for 200,000 actuations, a user configurable Exposure Delay Mode, a dual-axis Virtual Horizon, uncompressed 12 bit RAW Size S format (9 megapixels), Live View split-screen zoom and in-camera HDR exposure blending. The Nikon D810 offers a rugged, weather sealed magnesium-alloy body, a very similar control layout to the D800/800E, an ISO range of 32-51,200, 1080/60p video recording, latest Expeed 4 image processing engine, Multi-CAM 3500FX 51-point auto-focus system with new Group Area AF mode, 5fps burst shooting at full resolution, new electronic front-curtain shutter and an improved LCD monitor (3.2-inch with 1299K dots). Boasting a brand new 36.3-megapixel FX format sensor with no optical low pass filter, the Nikon D810 promises the highest image quality in Nikon's history, at least according to Nikon.
