From the ability to replay moments in ultra-low speed with slow motion movie, to time-lapse, superlapse and motion snapshots, various creative modes enable the photographers flexible pursuit of their vision with the help of their Nikon DL.
The cameras also support Nikons newest connectivity platform, SnapBridge, for the seamless and immediate transfer of images to paired smart devices*3 via Bluetooth low energy.
