FOREWORD
Thank you for choosing the Nikon F5 for your photography.
Designed with a combination of strong and reliable construc-
tion, plus today’s newest and most advanced technology, the
F5 35mm SLR and the Nikon system will provide you with the
opportunity to advance your picture-taking capability.
The Nikon F5 has been designed and built to meet the needs of
demanding professionals, for sports, photojournalism, scientific,
industrial, forensic and nearly every other professional use of
photography, as well as high-quality personal photography.
The F5 features Nikon’s F system bayonet lens mount, and
offers its highest level of performance and features, with D-type
Nikkor lenses. Performance and operation of available features
will vary when used with Nikon lenses other than D-type Nikkor.
Refer to the chart in “LENS” section for details.
The F5 features an all-metal, die-cast chassis, a moisture- and
dust-resistant metal exterior cover, and the world’s first self-
diagnostic, self-adjusting, high-performance shutter — to
provide truly reliable performance.
To design the F5, Nikon invented many new features, surpass-
ing all others previously available. The F5 will provide you with
the most advanced performance for its fast motor drive with
Focus Tracking and Lock-On™, new 1,005-sensor Nikon 3D
Color Matrix Meter, variable Center-Weighted Meter, Spot Meter
selectable with five points, Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash,
near-silent Cs film advance mode and more. Available options
include the near-silent Nikon AF-S Silent Wave Motor Lens,
Multi-Control Back, and more.
Nikon, the long-standing leader in professional quality photo-
graphic equipment, offers the F5’s leading-edge technology to
meet the demanding needs of today’s photography.
Because the F5 includes so many new and innovative features,
you should thoroughly read the instruction material provided.
Experiment, enjoy — your personal experience will provide you
with the ultimate education.
You’ll also want to inquire about unique Nikon accessories
designed for the F5. These include the Multi-Control Back, the
personal computer link system, AF-Nikkor interchangeable
optics, the Nikon close-up system, remote control system and
much more.
We hope that you enjoy using your new Nikon F5, and thank
you again for choosing Nikon.
