What’s under D10’s Hood
Check out the D10′s built-in multi mode flash. It provides you with an acceptable selection of artificial lighting options. Some of the said options are Auto (shoots when needed), On (fill flash), Red-Eye Reduction, Red-Eye Correction, Slow Sync, and Off. The maximum flash range goes as far as 10 feet. It also features the same 9-point AiAF (Advanced Intelligent Auto Focus) TTL Contrast Detection system that can also be found on its “A” series and “SD” series. In every exposure mode available, the camera is able to analyze the scene in front of the lens before it calculates the camera to subject distance. This is because it helps you determine which of the 9 AF points is closest to the primary subject. Once that is set, it locks its focus on that AF point.
The D10′s Optical Image Stabilization system is able to reduce the tendency for blurring. This is done by quickly and precisely shifting a lens element in the zoom so that you are able to compensate for minor movement and shake. The image stabilization allows its users to shoot at shutter speeds up to three f-stops slower. This is also especially useful when shooting in dimly lit areas where the flash is just not enough. It has three IS modes: Continuous, Shoot only, and Panning for horizontal exposures.
Moreover, the camera features a 6.2mm-18.6mm f3X zoom. The closest focusing distance is 1.2 inches or 3 centimeters. Zooming is therefore quick, easy, and smooth. Its zoom operation is silent because it is fully enclosed in the camera’s waterproof shell.
