Nikon D810A Digital SLR Body

The full-frame 36.3-megapixel Nikon D810A is engineered exclusively for astrophotography to capture magnificent images of nebulae that emit on the hydrogen-alpha wavelength. Thanks to a redesigned infrared (IR) cut filter, the D810A is four times more sensitive to the H-alpha spectral line (a wavelength of approx. 656 nm) than the Nikon D810. A powerful tool for photographers, this specialised DSLR frees you to capture the true colour of deep sky marvels without modifying the camera.Durable magnesium alloy bodyExtensive weather and dust sealing ensure the D810A is moisture and dust resistant.High-resolution FX-format astrophotographyCapture nebulae that emit on the hydrogen-alpha spectral line (approx. 656 nm) with incredible clarity. Modified Infrared (IR) cut filterCapture nebulae and starfields without external filters. The D810A transmits light from the hydrogen-alpha spectral line at a rate that is four times higher than the D810.Outstanding resolving powerUnleash the power of 36.3 effective megapixels. The FX-format sensor delivers spectacular high-contrast images with minimised false colour.Long exposure M modeAlongside Bulb and Time settings, a dedicated Long Exposure manual mode allows exposures of up to 900 seconds.Electronic front-curtain shutterActivate the electronic front-curtain shutter to minimise internal vibrations during exposure and reduce the risk of micro-blur in even subtle details.Spectacular ISOThe D810A’s standard ISO range of 200—12800 can be extended up to 51200 ISO (equivalent). Nikon’s 3D noise reduction enables clean, well-defined images at high ISOs.EXPEED 4Boosts the camera’s overall performance. Vastly improves image rendering and ISO performance, and minimises colour fringing.Unlimited continuous shootingProduce seamless star-trail photography. Shoot in continuous release mode with a shutter speed of 4 seconds or slower, and you can record as many high-quality JPEGs as your media cards and battery life allow.Extended shootingReliably capture thousands of images with long exposures. The D810A’s energy efficient design and high-capacity battery will keep you shooting for long periods. Optional Nikon battery packs and power adapters can extend shooting time immensely.Multi-CAM 3500FX 51-point AF systemFine-tuned for ultra-high resolution images. Configurable in 9-point, 21-point, and 51-point coverage settings and sensitive down to -2 EV (ISO 100, 20 °C/68 °F). System benefits include Group-area AF, expanded “store by orientation”, and options for AF mode restrictions. Fifteen cross-type sensors in the centre are compatible with AF NIKKOR lenses with open aperture of f/5.6 or faster, and 11 central focus points work with an open aperture of f/8.Fast, durable, responsiveThe D810A starts up in approximately 0.12 seconds and boasts a shutter release lag of just 52 ms. The Kevlar/carbon fiber–composite shutter unit is tested to 200,000 releases and offers shutter speed of 1/8000 to 900 s.L
