CONTAX
NX 35mm Auto Focus SLR Camera
The Contax NX
is targeted towards serious amateurs and
professionals photographers with multiple
interests who wish to experience the
superior image quality of Carl Zeiss T*
lenses. The smaller Contax NX will greatly
appeal to photographers who need a compact
camera body or an additional camera body to
complement their Contax N1 without the size
or weight. In addition, the NX offers many
features such as its rear command dial
conveniently located at the user's right
thumb, which has the ability to control
shutter speeds and functions making the NX
the most ergonomic Contax camera body to
date.
A first for Contax is the introduction of an
integral flash unit with a red-eye-reduction
feature to meet various shooting
opportunities. In addition to
red-eye-reduction, the built-in flash also
offers second curtain synchronization and
flash output compensation for daylight fill
flash. When additional flash output is
needed, the NX offers a five pin hot shoe
for use with all current hot shoe mounted
Contax flash units including the Contax TLA
360.
The Contax NX offers the same 5-Point Wide
Array Diagonal Auto Focus and Dual Focus
System as pioneered on the Contax N1. This
technically advanced system was originally
introduced with the Contax N1, the first
Contax single SLR, auto focus lens system to
use Carl Zeiss T* lenses. The greatest
benefit of five widely spaced focusing
points is that the photographer no longer
needs to lock focus on the subject and then
recompose in situations when the subject is
not centrally located. With the 5-Point Wide
Array configuration, the photographer can
compose their image, then move the active
focus point to the subject with the frame
selector control.
For unparalleled user flexibility, 20 custom
functions allow the photographer to
customize the camera to fit any need or
photographic challenge. Custom functions
such as power on hold time, film rewind with
leader in or leader out and aperture display
can be set within the custom function modes
of the Contax NX to provide the flexibility
that photographers demand. |
