Superior image quality and resolution

The D60’s image sensor utilizes 10.2 megapixels to produce superb, high-quality images with incredible resolution, allowing for large prints, even if only a small part of an image is used. Nikon’s unique digital image processing system – EXPEED™– ensures pictures contain fine detail and smooth, natural tonal reproduction.

Integrated Dust Reduction System

All new Airflow Control System used in the D60 leads air within the mirror box towards small ducts near the base, directing dust away from the image sensor. The Image Sensor Cleaning function also reduces dust accumulation near the sensor using specifically determined vibrations, which activate automatically or whenever the user chooses. This team of dust reduction and air flow control lets the user switch lenses confidently, taking advantage of the extensive lineup of NIKKOR interchangeable optics while worrying less about the effects of dust in the camera.

Active D-Lighting for smoother gradation

The D60’s new Active D-Lighting feature can adjust the look of the final picture during shooting. This automatic process works in the highlight and shadow areas, compensating for difficult lighting conditions and producing optimized exposures with rich, smooth detail.

Intuitive, simple operation within a compact body

The camera is compact and ergonomically designed to fit naturally and comfortably in the hand. The body design is inherited from the award-winning Nikon D40 series. The bright and clear viewfinder ensures precise composition, while the large, 2.5-in. LCD monitor displays an easy-to-use menu system with a wide viewing angle, making it easy to navigate settings and view images. The new Eye Sensor function turns off the LCD monitor when the viewfinder is used. When the user moves away from the viewfinder, the LCD monitor turns on again automatically.

The D60’s Retouch Menu offers many exclusive in-camera editing features. Filter Effects option intensifies a colour (Red/Green/Blue) of choice. Cross Screen feature produces star-like lines radiating from brightly lit objects in a picture. In-camera NEF (RAW) processing is available, where RAW format images are “developed” within the camera after shooting, allowing for control of specific aspects of pictures, such as image quality, image size and white balance. With the new Stop-motion feature, a stop-motion animation (the consecutive playback of still images) can be created from a sequence of images (in JPEG format). A convenient Quick Retouch option enhances contrast and saturation to improve images without using a computer. The D60’s extensive Retouch Menu increases the enjoyment and creative freedom of using a digital SLR.
