• 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 new 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.CONTAX NX FeaturesTTL (Through The Lens) phase difference detection method Contax NX Improved "TTL phase - difference detection method" Focusing system can be switched easily between AF and MF mode with dual focus mechanism lenses.Focus frame selection system "5-Point Wide Array Diagonal Focus System"5-Point Wide Array Diagonal Focus System enables the user to select the best focusing point.
