Thin, lowpass filter developed by Kyocera crystal technology: An optical uncoloured crystalline lowpass filter eliminates false colour producing frequencies that often affect image quality. |
Wide range of image recording modes | The N Digital can write in several formats, including JPEG (3 compression ratios) RGB-TIFF, and RAW formats. | Menu of white balance selections: | Auto automatic adjustment by a built in colour-detecting sensor. One Push Preset: selects a white balance based on a specific subject area.

In addition, the N Digital can also use the IBM Micro Drive to meet the highest capacity requirements. | High Speed DSP and IEEE1394: | The N Digital uses high-speed digital image processing (DSP), which allows real time processing and photography at up to 3 frames per second. The N Digital is equipped with a computer interface for reliable high-speed Firewire image transfer. It is possible to transfer a RAW 12.5 MB file in one second. | LCD monitor: | A 2.0-inch, low-temperature, polysilicon, TFT colour LCD monitor, with a Graphic User Interface (GUI) is located on the back of the body. The photographer can check exposure, focus and file information directly from the LCD monitor. | Shooting assist function: | The LCD offers a visual Shooting Assist Function histogram. | Confirmation of exposure range (which can be shown in bright tone distribution graphics). | Displays exposure information and other file information simultaneously. | Basic functions | | The N Digital shares all basic functions of the Contax N1. The photographer can concentrate on shooting because the N Digital can be handled the same as a traditional 35mm SLR. Some of the basic functions shared between the Contax N Digital and the N1 are as follows: | | | | Dual Focus Function: 5 Point Wide Array Diagonal Auto Focusing | Fine Focus Bracketing (A.B.C.) | High Speed Shutter, maximum speed 1/8,000 sec., flash synchronization speed 1/200 sec. | TTL evaluative metering, centre-weighted average metering, spot metering. | Flash auto set function | Mount Adapter NAM-1 as an optional accessory for CONTAX 645 mount lenses | Custom Functions | Shares N1 & NX accessories, All the interchangeable lenses (Contax 645 lenses with NAM-1 adapter not included) and accessories from the Contax N1 and Contax NX can be used with Contax N Digital. |
