Contax N1 35mm Auto Focus Single Lens Reflex camera, targeted toward a broad range of photographers, from the professional to the amateur. The Contax N1 also incorporates several "World's First" features: 5 Point Wide Array Diagonal Focus System, Fine Focus ABC (Auto Bracketing Control), Liquid Crystal Display Viewfinder (optional extra)The Contax N1 introduces a Dual Focus Mechanism as an extension to our existing manual focus 35mm system. The new mechanism will enable the user to focus on the subject in a split second by switching at will between manual focus and auto focus modes. We have also taken the greatest care in designing the size and position of the controls in such a way that they can be operated immediately, without the need to take the eye away from the viewfinder.The 5-Point Wide Array Diagonal Focus System enables the user to select the best focusing point for the shot. When composing a shot for optimum framing, in most cases the main subject is either concentrated near the center of the picture or along diagonals drawn between the four corners.The Fine Focus ABC (Auto Bracketing Control) allows the user to make minute adjustments by shifting the focusing point in three automatic stages. In order to obtain ideal focus point, professional photographers (including fashion, portrait, nature, etc.) often make photos of the same composition, slightly altering the focusing point each time. Using Fine Focus ABC in the manual mode, a series of pictures can automatically be made with the focusing point moved to several slightly different positions, normally not observable through the viewfinder. The N1 is fitted with a high-speed focal-plane shutter with a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 second and a maximum flash synchronization speed of 1/250 second. To enhance the range of artistic effects achievable with the N1 we have also increased the range of adjustable aperture settings. The N1's metering system divides the picture frame into five independent sections and measures the light falling on each of them. Three different metering methods are available: Using Matrix, it is possible to take pictures with virtually no further adjustment to the exposure settings, both in conventional lighting situations and when using back lighting. Center-Weighted Average Metering produces superb results with high-speed shots while Spot Metering allows the photographer to make careful adjustments to exposure settings.With the NAM-1 Mount Adapter, all Carl Zeiss T* lenses from the medium-format Contax 645 camera can be used on the N1 and their automatic aperture and auto focus will function without further adjustment.
