split-second shutter response, the D60 eliminates the frustration of
shutter delay, capturing moments that other cameras miss.

precious moments and fleeting expressions at up to 3 frames per second,
for as many as 100 consecutive JPEG images.
Active Dust Reduction System with Airflow Control: Nikon's Active Dust
Reduction System activates automatically, along with Airflow Control
technology to reduce the amount of dust that reaches the sensor.
Easy Operation with Intuitive Controls: Intuitive controls and an onboard
HELP Menu System with Assist Images make the D60 truly easy to use,
enabling everyone to capture beautiful memories perfectly.

processing concept, EXPEED, comprehensively optimizes pictures, shot after
shot.
8 Digital-Vari Program Automatic Shooting Modes: Eight Digital Vari-Program
Modes include: Auto, Auto Flash-OFF, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close
Up and Night Portrait; each of which adjusts automatically for optimal results
for everyday shooting situations. Each mode considers lighting conditions and
possibilities, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, hue, tone, sharpening
and more to make creative photography as simple as rotating the mode dial.
Nikon's Smallest Digital SLR Ever! Beautifully styled, the D60 makes high-
performance digital SLR photography easier and more convenient than ever.
You'll be amazed at the power packed into a camera that weighs just over 16
ounces.
2.5-Inch, 230,000-Dot Color LCD Monitor with 170-Degree Wide-Angle Viewing:
Playback images are easy to see and function menus are easier to use with a
larger and brighter color LCD monitor. The large 2.5-inch LCD monitor enables
image preview at up to 19 times magnification and has large type fonts with
easy-to-view menus. Auto rotating LCD display provides automatic horizontal
and vertical graphic display orientation.
Advanced HELP Menu System with Assist Images: The D60's Assist Images help you
select the appropriate settings for many camera features by showing an example
image typical of that setting, as well as an advanced HELP Menu for the current
item selected. The D60's Question Mark icon (?) indicates that help is available
for the currently selected item; just press the HELP button beside the LCD monitor
to see a context-sensitive HELP page.
Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D60's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates
each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights,
selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against
an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers
instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting
conditions.
Image Optimization Options: The D60's Optimize Image setting lets photographers adjust color,
contrast and sharpening, as well as other image settings, according to the type of scene or
output desired. Settings include: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait, Custom and
Black and White, each of which are automatically adjusted based on sophisticated Nikon algorithms
or user-selected settings for optimum results.
Built-in Speedlight with i-TTL Automatic Flash Control: Nikon's innovative i-TTL flash control
evaluates flash exposure with incredible precision to achieve better automatic flash balance
and deliver outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always ready to bring beautiful
exposures to darkened conditions, as well as add sparkle for fill flash in outdoor situations
for enhanced twilight shots or an added impact to daylight images. In low-light or back-light
situations, added illumination from the built-in Speedlight can make the difference between an
average snapshot and a dazzling picture.
Fast, Accurate 3-Area Autofocus: The D60's advanced 3-Area AF system and the refined algorithms
inherited from more advanced Nikon digital SLR cameras deliver fast, efficient and precise Autofocus.
AF refinements deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent subject acquisition and improved
focus tracking for consistently sharper pictures.
In-Camera Image Editing and Enhanced Retouch Menu: Highly versatile in-camera editing features through
the Retouch Menu include Nikon D-Lighting, Red-Eye Correction, Image Trim, Image Overlay, Monochrome
(Black and White, Sepia and Cyanotype) along with Skylight, Warm Tone and Color Balance filter effects.
New effects and controls include Quick Retouch, NEF (RAW) Processing, Cross Star and Color Intensifier
filters. This provides greater creative freedom without the need for a computer for those who prefer to
send pictures directly to a printer.
Stop motion video: Creates a stop-motion animation from a sequence of images for added creative fun to
your pictures.
Up to 500 Images per Battery Charge: The supplied EN-EL9 rechargeable battery will allow for shooting
up to 500 images per charge based on CIPA battery testing standards.
