What is more, it there is any necessity, the D3S expands to the ISO equivalent of 102,400. It also claims to proffer new creative options for multi-media movie shooting.

If you or anyone becomes the proud possessor of Nikon D3S, he/she will be able to capture movies at 720p/ 24fps in motion JPEG with stereo sound using the input jack. There is the file format that enables a 'Save Selected' frame option that makes the user possible to shoot video without restraint. Apart from all these, the D3S contrast detection AF system has also been tuned so as to render autofocus support during movie capture and Live View.
