As a parent, you keep your eye out for what makes a precious moment shine. It's good to get to the essence of things at a moment's notice without a fuss. Life's pleasures should be as simple and satisfying as child's play. Like a photo shot in AUTO mode. The key is to take it easy and stay true to your vision.

Won't let you miss a shot
The F65's Dynamic AF system with Five Focus Areas covers various “sweet spots” to keep the subject sharp, even when it’s not in centre frame. It’s all so automatic and easy, you hardly have to think about a thing. Just enjoy capturing the moment!

Dynamic AF keeps the F65 focused as intended, regardless of position of the subject (in red shirt, below) in the frame, using five AF sensors (centre, top, bottom, right, and left).

natural_image
Portrait of a young boy in striped shirt sitting inside a purple-tinted tunnel (no text or symbols visible)It takes a smart AF-Assist Illuminator to keep focus on a subject when light is low or you're shooting in total darkness. The F65 keeps your subject looking natural because it doesn't use a harsh pre-flash that can daze or distract your subject.
That's what the F65's AF system lets you capture.

natural_image

Action is spontaneous. No stopping, no posing, no holds barred. And to go with the flow, it helps to be totally free, far from the routine, and within comfortable reach of what catches your eye. Shooting in Sports Continuous mode is fantastic for freezing sports and other movement on the fly, knowing that you can capture fleeting moments for posterity.

Stays focused at every crucial moment
The F65's Focus Tracking with Lock-On™ feature keeps a moving subject—even as quick and unpredictable as an animal or a child—in clear focus, as long as the shutter release button is pressed. It’s foolproof and automatic!

Intricacies of light.

Being a stranger in a strange land is like a journey to enlightenment that changes your outlook forever. You start seeing the big picture from a fresher perspective. Like a shot taken with Landscape mode—living details, near or far, come alive in a new way. Then you realise that you're in the middle of it all.

Capturing the mood of the situation
3D Matrix Metering accounts for the entire image to analyse and preserve the special ambience of a scene. The F65 relies on over 30,000 pieces of data in its built-in database referring to every type of shooting situation, in order to capture a particular moment with its mood intact.

natural_image
Sunset over a golden grassy hillside with distant trees and no visible text or symbols3D Matrix Metering also reads camera-to-subject Distance Information from D-type and G-type Nikkor lenses. This enhances accuracy for every kind of exposure, from close-ups to distant landscapes.
The four exposure modes—Auto-Multi Program (P), Shutter-Priority Auto (S), Aperture-Priority Auto (A), and Manual (M)—offer precise control of shutter speed and aperture setting combinations, for flexibility in

The closer you look, the more art looks like life. Sometimes you want to take a clear look at every detail. At other times you want to make a single outstanding point. Whatever finer things in life you want to focus on, Close-Up mode provides more choice in achieving the right perspective in appropriate depth.

Exposure control at your command
Versatile Vari-Program modes give you all the automatic picture-taking latitude you need.
Each of the five modes ( Portrait, Landscape, Close-Up, Sports Continuous
and 📄 Night Scene) are specifically geared for optimal results in certain situations.

For shooting with complicated lighting or experimenting with various exposure levels, an exposure compensation button lets you compensate exposure within a range of ±2 EV in 1/2 increments.

Or you can apply exposure bracketing to three frames in steps ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 EV in P, S, A and M modes (Auto Exposure Bracketing).
An electronic depth-of-field preview button lets you confirm the zone of sharpest focus before shooting in any exposure mode.
A multiple exposure button lets you shoot more than once on a single frame.
Brilliance of colour.

We've been together as long as she can remember. But it's clearly her moment to shine, so we're leaving everything in good hands and nothing to chance. The F65's built-in Speedlight catches the sparkle in those eyes, and Portrait mode makes her stand out as pretty as a picture right where she deserves to be—at the heart of the action.
Enhancing quality of light in a flash
Flash isn't just for nighttime shooting. It can enhance the look of daylight and twilight shots. The F65's built-in Speedlight automatically controls flash in order to add just the right light to keep the scene looking natural and create catchlight in a subject's eyes—not wash out the subject's face. (Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash)

Nature gives you every opportunity to wonder how light can create such drama in its shifting moods. Night Scene mode makes it especially rewarding to catch the sun's slow-burning beauty at the end of a long day—even as it illuminates the down-to-earth details that make the scene really worth remembering.
Combining flash and ambient light enhances detail all around
Slow Sync is activated when flash is used in Night Scene mode, automatically slowing the shutter speed to provide enough exposure of background detail, while throwing natural-looking illumination on the foreground subject.

- The built-in Speedlight cannot be used at shooting distance less than 0.6m.
Vignetting occurs at the edges of the frame resulting in underexposure with the following AF zoom lenses, which have limitations in usable focal length or shooting distance.
AF 24-50mm f/3.3-4.5D: 35mm or longer focal length; AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF: 50mm or longer focal length — 50mm focal length at 1m or longer shooting distance, 70-85mm at 0.7m or longer; AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED: 28mm or longer focal length — 28mm focal length at 1m or longer shooting distance; AF 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6D IF: 35mm or longer focal length — 35mm focal length at 3m or longer shooting distance, 50mm at 1m or longer, 70mm at 0.7m or longer; AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8D IF-ED: 70mm focal length at 1.5m or longer shooting distance; AF 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G: 28mm focal length at 1.8m or longer shooting distance; AF 28-100mm f/3.5-5.6G: 35mm or longer focal length — 35mm focal length at 1m or longer shooting distance; AF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6D IF: 50mm or longer focal length; AF 35-70mm f/2.8D: 50mm or longer focal length; AF Micro 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6D ED: 70mm focal length at 1.7m or longer shooting distance or 85mm at 1.3m or longer, 105-135mm at 0.8m or longer; AF-S VR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED: 135mm or longer focal length — 105mm focal length at 1.8m or longer shooting distance; AF 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED: 80mm focal length at 3m or longer shooting distance; AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED: 105mm or longer focal length.
Note: The data above relates to positive films. The amount of vignetting decreases when the images are viewed in regular colour prints, the edges of which are cropped during photo processing.
