New Scene Recognition System
Nikon's new and exclusive Scene Recognition System helps optimize autofocus, auto exposure and
auto white balance performance by advancing the use of Nikon's acclaimed 1,005-segment RGB
sensor to recognize the conditions of the subject and framed scene prior to capturing the shot.
