According to Nikon, the D3S not only delivers ISO 200 to ISO 12,800 as standard, but its ISO can also be expanded from Lo 1 (ISO 100 equivalent) up to Hi 3 (ISO 102,400 equivalent).

The Nikon D3S incorporates the HD-quality D-Movie function, letting users take full advantage of the wide dynamic range and high ISO performance, including the breakthrough High Sensitivity Movie mode. The D3S’s D-Movie also offers compatibility with an external stereo recording microphone, as well as convenient in-camera editing functions such as the ability to select the starting and ending points in order to trim D-Movie footage, as well as the ability to save selected movie frames as JPEGs.

The D3S shoots approximately 9 frames-per-second high-speed continuous shooting in FX-format and 11 fps in DX-format, with a buffer twice the size of the D3.

These features, along with a 0.04-second shutter release time lag and improved AF accuracy work seamlessly for lightning-fast responses. Various improvements in ergonomics, operation, and reliability, such as image sensor cleaning, will help photographers focus on shooting under any conditions.
