Multi-CAM1300 AF Sensor
Module for Wide-Cross Array
Coverage

The Multi-CAM1300 autofocus sen­sor module incorporates five AF
sensors configured in a large wide­cross array covering the center, left,
right, top and bottom segments of
the viewing area.
The module features cross-type con­tiguous sensors for the center, left
and right segments, each consisting
of two types of CCD line sensors—a
thin sensor for regular focus detec­tion, and a thick sensor for focus
detection in low light. This dual
focus system maximizes autofocus
speed and accuracy for most lighting
conditions.
In normal AF operation, the F5 detects
focus within the focus brackets in the
viewfinder. In Focus Tracking and
Dynamic AF mode, however, the focus­ing area is automatically expanded to
keep moving subjects in accurate focus.

High-Speed Autofocus

The F5’s sophisticated, highly integrated
system of microelectronics and mechani­cal components ensures reliable, ultra­fast operation. Microcomputers instanta­neously process data as your subject
quickly moves around a scene. Coreless
motors drive the lens in mere millisec­onds, opening the shutter and advancing
the film as you shoot with autofocusing
at continuous speeds up to 8 fps with
optional Ni-MH Battery Unit MN-30.

Dynamic AF Operation

With this mode, you select the priority
focus area that suits your composition,
then aim the selected area at the sub­ject and shoot. If the subject moves off
the selected focus area, Dynamic AF
instantly shifts to another of the five
areas to keep the subject in focus.
Never limited to a bulls-eye composi­tion, you’re free to compose creatively

as the scene
requires. It allows
you to follow mov­ing subjects—or
subjects that
change speed and
move at an angle
toward you. Even if
another subject
momentarily blocks

the F5, you
can shoot
even high-speed sports such as motor
racing with complete confidence.

Fast, Powerful Autofocus Motor

The F5 incorporates a powerful, high­torque coreless motor system to drive
each AF Nikkor lens—a motor so strong
and fast that photographers notice a sig­nificant increase in speed even with
older AF Nikkor lenses.
And while providing full compatibility
with the exclusive Nikon AF motor
design, the F5 also offers compatibility
with Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor optics that
incorporate Silent Wave Motors in each
lens for enhanced AF performance.
Fast, accurate autofocus is at the heart
of F5 operation.

AF Start button

When you want to separate AF opera­tion from the shutter release button,
use the F5’s AF start buttons—one for
horizontal handling, another for vertical.
At Custom Setting #4, you can use the
shutter release button exclusively for
releasing the shutter, the AF start but­ton for activating autofocus. It’s perfect
for sports and other fast-action shooting
because it enables you to concentrate
solely on shutter release timing. It
offers superb personal control, too, and
enables automatic shooting with a high
degree of versatility.

3D Color Matrix Meter—
world’s first

RGB sensor

q 3D Color Matrix Metering

This exclusive Nikon feature evaluates
not only the brightness and contrast of
each scene, but also, using a special
Red-Green-Blue (RGB) sensor, the
scene’s colors. Imagine a sunset with
warm hues of orange . . . the shadows
of a building, cool with blue . . . a
panoramic landscape against a bright
blue sky. The Color Matrix Meter is
even able to tell when tungsten or fluo­rescent lighting is used.
The F5’s database stores more than
30,000 scenes from actual shooting
experience. The algorithms were not
made in the laboratory, but in the field—
on professional shooting assignments.
The 3D Color Matrix Meter evaluates
scene brightness, contrast, selected
focus area, distance information and
color. Then, the powerful microcomput­er and database take over, guiding the
way to unequalled exposure control.
The result is automatic exposure control
that will never cease to astonish you.

w Flexible Center-Weighted

Metering

The F5 includes Nikon’s classic Center­Weighted Meter, which concentrates
75% of its sensitivity within a 12mm cir­cle, 25% in the peripheral area. It’s the
classic meter for shooting portraits or
just taking personal control.
But if the subject is too small, too near
or too far, the 12mm circle may not be
the size you need. Introducing the
world’s first Flexible Center-Weighted
Meter. At Custom Setting #14, you’re
able to change the size of the sensing
area to 8mm, 15mm, 20mm, or a sim­ple averaging meter, to match the size
and distance of the subject.

e Spot Metering

For extra-precise metering, the F5’s
Spot Meter reads a 4mm-diameter area
(approx. 1.5% of the image area). The

Optimum exposure

meter’s sensing area changes to corre­spond with your manually selected
focus area, providing perfect synergy
with individual control.

P/S/A/M Exposure Modes

Programmed Auto [P] mode automati­cally sets the shutter speed and aper­ture. Flexible Program instantly chooses
a correct alternate exposure setting
when you shift the shutter speed/aper­ture combination.
Shutter-Priority Auto [S] offers you a
choice of speeds from 1/8000 to 30
seconds.
Aperture-Priority Auto [A] allows you to
choose from the complete range of
available apertures in 1/3 increments.
And Manual [M] gives you full control
over all settings.
Lock Control ensures that your settings
will never change inadvertently.
Selections and exposure status are
shown in the viewfinder’s display.

Exposure Compensation/
AE Bracketing

The F5 allows you to manually control
exposure compensa­tion from +5 EV to -5
EV in 1/3 EV steps.
Automatic Bracketing
is built-in and
enables you to take
two or three consec­utive pictures of the
same scene with
changing EV values
in increments of 1/3,
2/3 or 1 EV. At
Custom Setting #3,
you can select the
order of the com­pensation, and your
choice will be shown
in the rear LCD
panel’s bargraph.

FLASH CONTROL

Enlightened
flash
versatility

3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash

Another Nikon exclusive, this system
has been widely celebrated since it was
first introduced. And now, with the F5’s
advanced capabilities, it’s even more
powerful. The five-segment TTL Multi
Sensor precisely monitors flash output.
Imperceptible Monitor Pre-flashes from
a Nikon Speedlight, such as the SB-800,
SB-600 or SB-27, and distance informa­tion from a D-/G-type Nikkor lenses
overcome exposure failures associated
with highly reflective surfaces, distant
backgrounds and outdoor fill-flash. Use
the power of the F5’s fill-flash together
with highly automatic exposure control,
or control exposures manually. Either
way, you get the proven performance of
Nikon’s exclusive 3D Multi-Sensor
Balanced Fill-Flash.

Slow Sync

When flash pictures are taken at high
shutter speeds in dim light, the back­ground may turn out dark. Slow Sync
extends the automatically controlled
shutter speed range in [P] and [A]
modes (normally controlled between
1/250 second and 1/60 second) to the
full range of available shutter speeds—
from 1/250 second. to the slowest
speed of 30 seconds. Slow Sync is
selected from the F5’s flash controls.

Rear-Curtain Sync

This setting on the F5’s flash control
enables you to use any Nikon TTL
Speedlight for Rear-Curtain Sync. When
selected, the flash fires just before the
shutter curtain closes, unlike Normal
Sync, which fires the flash at the begin­ning of the exposure. Especially effec­tive with slow shutter speeds, this tech­nique turns available light into a stream
of light that follows the flash-illuminated
subject.

1/300 Second TTL High-Speed Sync

Using Custom Setting #20 with Shutter­Priority Auto [S] or Manual [M] mode
boosts the F5’s top flash sync speed to
1/300 second, broadening the camera’s
exposure range for fill-flash shooting.

TTL Multiple-Flash System

Nikon’s professional-quality TTL multi­ple-flash system is designed so that
even a novice can use it with confi­dence. Choose any combination of
Nikon TTL Speedlights—such as the
SB-800 or SB-27—with your F5, then
use the TTL remote or TTL multi-flash
sync cord available for TTL off-camera
or multi-flash photography. You’re set
for off-camera multiple-flash photogra­phy, without the strong shadows. You’ll
be able to create stunning effects with
consistently perfect exposures. Plus,
there’s no need for complicated manual
exposure-value calculation or accessory
flash meters.

RELIABILITY

The measure
of professional
reliability

Tough, Durable Body Construction

Extremely strong, the F5 is built to take
“the world’s worst assignments.” The
chassis, top shoulders, bottom and
front-grip covers are molded from tough
aluminum alloy, providing the strength
and rigidity needed to maintain ultra-pre­cise alignment. The viewfinder’s top
cover is made of titanium for extra
impact resistance. Rubber surfaces
cover strategic areas, textured for a
secure grip and to provide a buffer
against the environment and any
impacts. The F5’s design has been rigor­ously tested to resist moisture, dust,
vibrations and extremes of tempera­ture—and ensure reliable performance
under the most demanding professional
conditions. Nikon’s engineers envi­sioned how you will use it, then put it
through the paces of real-life testing to
ensure exceptional reliability in actual
use.

Floating Mechanism for Silent
Operation

The F5 interior is designed to provide
quick, precise, whisper-quiet movement.
Featuring a floating-type design, the
coreless motors and gears are quieter,
too. The shock-absorber-like rubber­armored construction minimizes inter­nally induced vibration.
In Continuous Silent film advance [C
mode, you get a film advance
that’s remarkably smooth and
quiet.

S]

Accurate, Durable Shutter
Unit with Shutter Monitor

The F5’s shutter blades are manu­factured from the most advanced mate­rials available—six of them from an orig­inal carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy; the
remaining two from a special aluminum
alloy.
The Shutter Monitor maintains consis­tently accurate shutter performance,
checking the shutter each time it’s
released. If speeds start to shift from
the calibrated speed, the camera auto­matically compensates to maintain an
accurate exposure. If, in an extreme
instance, the shutter failed to operate,
the F5 would alert you. It provides com­plete reliability under even the most
demanding conditions.

Mirror balancer

Mirror Balancer

The F5’s mirror balance mechanism
minimizes mirror bounce, reducing the
time required to bring down the mirror.
This results in smoother AF detection
and contributes to fast, accurate Focus
Tracking and 8-fps film advance speed.
The Mirror Balancer provides distinct
advantages for the F5 at fast motor
rates, enabling the mirror to operate at
maximum speed. The effectively longer
viewing time provides more time for AF
operation, and is one reason why the F5
is able to provide autofocus and Focus
Tracking at motor speeds up to 8 fps—
picture after picture. The mirror balancer
also stabilizes mirror movement and
reduces vibration. This is an advantage
when making long exposures.
Combined with the F5’s bright, easy-to­see viewing system, the Mirror Balancer
provides distinct advantages that make
for sharper pictures.

Nikkor Lenses

Comprehensive Lineup, Superior
Optics and Performance

The F5 features the Nikon F lens mount
– and that means you have access to the
vast lineup of Nikon lenses including a
wide range of non-AF Nikkor lenses.
Once you use a Nikkor lens, you’ll see
the reason why so many professionals
depend on them for quality results.
Many of the features incorporated into
Nikkor lenses are Nikon’s own optical
innovations.
These include Nikon Super Integrated
Coating (SIC) for superior contrast and
color rendition; Extra-low Dispersion (ED)
glass for minimized chromatic aberration;
Nikon-pioneered Close-Range Correction
(CRC) for exceptional quality from near
to far; Internal Focusing (IF) also makes
focusing totally responsive, with no
extension of the lens barrel.

Optimal Lens Compatibility

The F5 accepts world-renowned Nikon
optics including Micro, Defocus Control
(DC), Perspective Control (PC), Vibration
Reduction (VR), Fisheye, Super Wide and
Telephoto Nikkor lenses, as well as AF-S
Nikkors with built-in Silent Wave Motors
(SWM), which give ultra-fast and quiet
autofocus operation. AF-S Nikkors are
indispensable for professional-caliber
sports and other fast-action assignments.
