The F6 includes the latest Nikon advances, such as the 11-area AF system for exceptionally high-speed autofocus operation with outstanding accuracy, and the Creative Lighting System for incomparable flash photography. And Nikon's proprietary 3D Color Matrix Metering system has been refined for improved accuracy in scene reading.
As you'd expect, the F6 satisfies the uncompromising standards of reliability that professionals command. An aluminum-alloy die-cast chassis; magnesium-alloy front body and covers (top, bottom); aluminum-alloy back body and camera back; strategically placed rubber surfaces; an easy-to-grip texture, and a self-diagnostic shutter that has undergone testing to assure accurate release upto and beyond 150,000 cycles, even in the most extreme environmental conditions.The F6 embodies the strength, rigidity and durability to perform wherever and whenever photographers need it.
Furthermore, the F6 offers a variety of exciting, innovative control options such as a customizable function button, built-in data back functions shooting data memory. You can also enjoy the convenience and versatility afforded by 41 Custom Settings which allow you to fine-tune the F6 to suit your individual shooting preferences and requirements.
The new flagship film SLR also boasts a number of dedicated accessories. These include the Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40, interchangeable focusing screens (seven types), Data Reader MV-1 camera cases.
Nikon F6 Feature Highlights:
High-precision shutter unit: No shutter unit in any other camera comes close to matching the precision of the F6' assembly. Created from cutting-edge materials - DuPont KEVLAR a special aluminum alloy - the blades of the shutter unit offer unparalleled reliability are extremely lightweight, for lightning-quick movement. For enhanced accuracy, the movement of the blades is carefully analyzed using a high-speed video camera computer simulations, enabling unprecedented precision even at shutter speeds of up to 1/8,000 second.
Minimized operational sound vibration: Nikon engineers were so intent on subduing the camera's operational sounds that they used a professional audio room to properly gauge their quality and frequency. The degree of vibration to which every part of the camera would be subjected was measured. This meticulous approach has resulted in a camera comprised of parts that have been highly refined for absolute minimum vibration,and frequency of movement attenuated to a level below that detectable by the human ear.
Highly efficient mechanics: The development of the F6 marks the first time 3D computer movement analysis hasever been applied to an SLR. This technique reveals the degree of power distributed to or generated by particular parts in specific directions. This made it possible for us to optimize the mechanical operation of the camera with fewer parts, leading to lower power consumption higher durability.
