Frequently Asked Questions - F65D NIKON

How to change the exposure mode on the F65D?

Turn the mode dial on top of the camera. Options include Auto, Vari-Program modes (Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night), P (program), S (shutter priority), A (aperture priority), and M (manual).

How to use the built-in flash?

The flash pops up automatically in Auto or Vari-Program mode when light is insufficient. You can also fire it manually by pressing the flash release button on the left side of the camera. To disable the flash, use Flash Cancel mode.

How to activate the self-timer?

Press the Self-Timer/Remote button (marked with a clock icon) until the self-timer icon appears on the LCD screen. Then, press the shutter button halfway to activate the self-timer (10 seconds).

How to take a long exposure (Bulb mode)?

Bulb mode is available in Manual (M) exposure mode. Set the shutter speed to 'BULB' (displayed as 'b' on the screen). Keep the shutter button pressed for the duration of the exposure. Use a remote shutter release or cable release to avoid camera shake.

Which lenses are compatible with the Nikon F65D?

The camera accepts all AF Nikkor lenses (except AF for F3AF and IX-Nikkor) and AI-P Nikkor lenses. D and G type lenses transmit distance for optimal 3D matrix metering. Lenses without CPU work only in manual mode without metering.

How to replace the batteries of the F65D?

Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the camera by sliding the latch. Insert two lithium CR2 batteries following the indicated polarity. For extended battery life, you can use the optional MB-17 Battery Pack (4 AA batteries).

How to imprint the date on the photo (F65D model)?

The F65D has a data imprinting function. Use the buttons on the back of the camera to choose the display mode: Year/Month/Day, Day/Hour/Minute, No imprint, etc. Make sure the date function battery (CR2025) is installed.

What to do if the camera does not turn on?

First check that the power switch is in the ON position. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly and are fresh. If the battery indicator blinks, replace the batteries. Cleaning the battery contacts may also solve the problem.

How to use the optional remote control?

Insert a CR2025 battery into the remote control. Point the transmitter towards the infrared sensor on the front of the camera (near the grip). Press the remote button to release immediately or with a 2-second delay. Range is approximately 5 meters.

How to clean the camera?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body. For the mirror and focusing screen, use a blower brush to remove dust, never a cloth. Avoid any contact with chemicals. Store the camera in a dry, dust-free place.

So can you.

Natural movement.

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 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).

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.

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!

You can select one of Five Focus 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.

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.

3D 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

getting exactly the results that you want.

That’s what F65 metering lets you explore.

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.

Metered value

-1 EV

+1 EV

Or you can apply exposure bracketing to three frames in steps ranging from 0.5 to 2.0EV 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)

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 subject's eye pupils right before shutter release, minimising "red eye" from the final picture.

That’s what the F65’s flash system lets you reveal.

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.

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.

Complete SLR control easily at hand
