The Nikon D3X is capable of shooting up to five fps at full resolution or up to seven fps in DX crop mode. Like the D3, it does a start-up time of a mere 0.12 seconds and a shutter release time lag of only 0.04 seconds. It comes with Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition System that constantly analyzes information from the 1,005-pixel RGB light sensor to a more refine auto exposure, auto white balance and autofocus calculations. It also features Nikon's exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II that guarantees accurate exposures in any lighting conditions. Its active D-Lighting feature which is used together with 3D Matrix Metering II helps verify proper exposure, and generates realistic contrast while compensating for lost shadows and highlights. It also features Nikon’s Picture Control System that enables users to adjust their images to pre-set parameters like Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome that apply tweaks to image sharpening, tone compensation, brightness, overall tone and saturation. It is fully compatible with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System (CLS) for a manageable mobile lighting solution and Nikon’s GP-1 GPS receiver to gather information like latitude, longitude, altitude and date of shooting. Thus, photographers can simply shoot tethered via USB, or utilize the WT-4a wireless transmitter to send images wirelessly when speed and mobility are crucial.
