e e A a parent, you keep your eye out for what makes a precious moment shine. Its 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 re mode. The key is to take it easy and stay true

to your vision. ù >)

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!

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.

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).

That's what the F65’s AF system lets you capture.

e e A 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 Yo mode is fantastic for freezing sports and other movement on the fly, knowing that you can capture fleeting

moments for posterity. ù ù

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. I£s foolproof and automatic!

Areas to activate, according to how you intend to compose the shot. The focus area select button is easy to reach and intuitive to operate

without taking your eye off of the viewfinder. Lock-On" AF keeps focus firmly on a main subject even if some other

object momentarily blocks it in the viewfinder.

Intricacies of light.

e e B:;: 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.

3D Matrix Metering also reads The four exposure modes—Auto-Multi Program (P), Shutter-Priority camera-to-subject Distance Auto (S), Aperture-Priority Auto (A), and Manual (M)—offer precise Information from D-type and control of shutter speed and aperture setting combinations, for flexibility in G-type Nikkor lenses. This getting exactly the enhances accuracy for every results that you kind of exposure, from close-ups want.

The F65's built-in Speedlight catches the sparkle in those eyes, cn © and Portrait A mode makes her stand out as pretty as a picture right where she deserves to be—at the heart of the action. ù ù

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 subjects eyes—not wash out the subject’s face. (Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash)

A built-in Speedlight quietly pops up and fires automatically when light is low or subject is backlit in AUTO and Vari-Program modes.

A Red-Eye Reduction lamp is precision-timed to contract the subjects eye pupils right before shutter release, minimising “red eye” from the final picture.

Thats what the F6S’S flash system lets you reveal.

e e N° 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

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.

Rear-Curtain Sync fires the flash just before the second (or rear) curtain of the shutter starts to move. The photographic effect is an action-enhancing stream of light trailing the flash-illuminated subject.

Attach an optional Nikon Speedlight unit with TTL Remote Cord SC-17 to perform remote flash functions. Hold a remote flash off to the side

to cast proper light on the subject without casting harsh background shadows.
