内容简介
美国NASA航空航天局是世界上最为知名的航天机构，其为了完成艰巨的太空拍摄任务，曾在今年8月份向尼康订了76台D2Xs数码单反相机、39支镜头（包括12-24mm超广变焦头和10.5mm的鱼眼DX镜头）、64台闪光灯以及225块EN-EL4A电池。这批D2Xs经过NASA认定及实操实验之后被用于太空拍摄。最近，NASA公布一些太空照片，据悉，这些照片为尼康相机拍摄，不过目前还未确定是否为尼康D2Xs拍摄。但凭着良好的性能和成像素质，D2Xs胜任太空拍摄应该问题不大。尽管机器型号未知，但并不影响我们欣赏这组惊人的太空照片。
okyo-Nikon Corporation (President: Michio Kariya) is pleased to announce that the Company has recently received an order from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States of America for a host of photographic equipment, including D2XS digital SLR cameras, NIKKOR Lenses, and accessories to be used for recording the crew's activities both in and out of the space shuttle.
he NASA order specifically comprises of 76 D2XS digital SLR cameras, 39 NIKKOR Lenses (in two types), 64 Speedlight flashes, batteries and other accessories which will support both flight and training requirements. Except a change to NASA-specified lubricants, the D2XS models to be used for EVA are almost identical to those commercially available on the market. The D2XS models will undergo stringent NASA testing before they are qualified to be manifested for a particular mission.
The D2XS, released in June 2006, is the high-end model in the Nikon digital SLR line. With a 12.4 effective megapixel image sensor, 5 frames per second continuous shooting, the world's shortest 37ms* shutter release time lag, its top-notch performance and reliability squarely meet requirements of demanding professionals.
Nikon has long supplied NASA with photo equipment, and it has also provided expert training in the use of such equipment. The Nikon products and their reliable performance and technology have endured the harsh and demanding environment of space, contributing to the success of NASA's space program.
