Nikon D7500 20.9MP DX-Format DSLR Camera with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens – EXPEED 5, 8fps, 4K UHD, 51-Point AF

20.9MP DX-Format Sensor and EXPEED 5
The D7500 carries the same 20.9-megapixel DX-format (APS-C) CMOS sensor as the D500, with the EXPEED 5 processing engine. The sensor is designed without an optical low-pass filter. Standard ISO sensitivity covers 100 to 51200, expandable to Lo-1 (ISO 50 equivalent) and Hi-5 (ISO 1,640,000 equivalent). NEF (RAW) files are recorded at 12 or 14 bits, and RAW batch processing is available in camera.

AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens
The kit lens is a 7.8x zoom covering 18 to 140 mm (1.5x optical conversion factor on the DX sensor) with a maximum aperture of f/3.5-5.6 and a minimum aperture of f/22-38. Its 17 elements sit in 12 groups and include one aspherical element and one of ED glass, with a 7-blade rounded diaphragm, internal focusing, a 0.45 m minimum focus distance, 0.23x maximum reproduction ratio and a 67 mm filter thread. Vibration Reduction is rated at 4 stops to CIPA standard, on a DX-format DSLR at maximum telephoto. The lens measures approximately 78 x 97 mm and weighs approximately 490 g.

51-Point Autofocus
The Nikon Advanced Multi-CAM 3500 II AF module provides 51 focus points, 15 of them cross-type sensors, with one sensor supporting f/8 and a detection range of -3 to +19 EV (ISO 100, 20 C). AF-area modes include single-point, 9-, 21- or 51-point dynamic-area, 3D-tracking and group-area AF, and an approximately 180K-pixel RGB sensor is used for 3D color matrix metering III and i-TTL flash control. In live view, contrast-detect AF offers face-priority, wide-area, normal-area and subject-tracking modes.

8 fps Continuous Shooting
Continuous high-speed shooting runs at up to 8 fps with continuous-servo AF, an exposure mode of M or S, 1/250 s or faster, and Custom Setting a1 set to Release; the buffer holds about 50 frames of 14-bit lossless-compressed NEF (RAW). The shutter covers 1/8000 to 30 s and has been tested for 150,000 cycles, with a shutter monitor that corrects timing variance. Flash sync is 1/250 s, or to 1/320 s with reduced flash range, and Auto FP High-Speed Sync reaches 1/8000 s.

4K UHD Video
Video records at 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at 30p, 25p or 24p, Full HD (1920 x 1080) up to 60p and HD (1280 x 720) up to 60p, as H.264 in MOV or MP4 files, for up to 29 minutes 59 seconds per clip. At 3840 x 2160 the movie crop is about 16.2 x 9.1 mm; Nikon puts the apparent focal length at about 1.5x that for DX format. Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 4K UHD can be output to an external recorder over HDMI while recording to the SD card. Power aperture control works in A and M modes, and electronic VR is available at Full HD and HD but not at 3840 x 2160. Microphone sensitivity is adjustable. In-camera time-lapse records at Full HD, or 4K UHD for up to 3 minutes.

Optical Viewfinder and Tilting Touchscreen
The eye-level pentaprism optical viewfinder offers approximately 100% frame coverage in DX format, approximately 0.94x magnification and an 18.5 mm eyepoint. The 3.2-inch tilting TFT touchscreen LCD has approximately 922k dots and a 170-degree viewing angle, with touch focus and shutter release in live view.

Built-in Flash and Creative Lighting System
The camera has a built-in pop-up flash with a guide number of approximately 12/39 (m/ft, ISO 100, 20 C), and an ISO 518 hot-shoe. The Nikon Creative Lighting System supports i-TTL flash control, FV lock, modeling illumination, Auto FP High-Speed Sync, and Advanced Wireless Lighting by radio or optically; with the optional WR-R10 wireless remote controller, up to three SB-5000 Speedlight groups can be controlled by radio.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Interfaces
Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi keep the camera connected to a smart device through the SnapBridge app for automatic image transfer. Ports include Hi-Speed USB, a Type C HDMI connector, a 3.5 mm stereo microphone input, a 3.5 mm headphone output and an accessory terminal. The MC-DC2 remote cord, GP-1A GPS unit and WR-1 and WR-R10 wireless remote controllers are sold separately. Storage is a single SD card slot for SD, SDHC and SDXC cards.

Body, Power and Dimensions
The body uses a monocoque shell in carbon fiber composite, and is sealed against dust and water droplets. The supplied rechargeable Li-ion battery is rated at approximately 950 shots per charge (CIPA, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off) or approximately 80 minutes of HD movie recording, and charges with the MH-25a quick charger. The camera body measures approximately 135.5 x 104 x 72.5 mm and weighs approximately 640 g (body only); the operating environment is 0 to 40 C at 85% humidity or less, no condensation.
