About exposure mode and type of program

Symbol	Exposure mode/Type of program	Characteristics/shooting situations
AUTO	General-Purpose Program P. 39	The easiest exposure mode for general shooting. Suitable for portraits and other general pictures, or when you want to take pictures first-hand.
P	Auto-Multi Program P. 40	Camera controls exposure automatically, while allowing you to make other settings, such as Flexible Program or exposure compensation.
S	Shutter-Priority Auto P. 41	You set your desired shutter speed, and the camera selects the correct aperture. You can “stop” the motion of a moving subject with a fast shutter speed or create blur with a slower speed.

• Ten exposure modes are available with this camera. Five types of VariPrograms enable you to easily choose proper exposure controls in various shooting situations.

See step 5.2 for the summary of each exposure mode and each reference page for the operating instructions and details.

Symbol		Exposure mode/Type of program	Characteristics/shooting situations
A		Aperture-Priority AutoP. 42	You set the desired aperture, and based on that, the camera selects the correct shutter speed. Lets you determine the depth of the in-focus area; near and far subjects can be sharply focused or the background can be blurred.
M		ManualP. 43-44	Shutter speed and aperture are setmanually. Suited to situations where it isdifficult to attain your desired effect withother exposure modes.
Vari-Program	K	Portrait ProgramP. 46	Use this program to take portraits. With ashallow depth of field (in-focus area), itcreates a blurred background to accentuateyour main subject.
	■	LandscapeProgramP. 46	Use this program to take pictures of distantscenes. With a deep depth of field, theoverall landscape will be sharply focused.
	●	Close-Up ProgramP. 46	Use this program to take up-close pictures.With a shallow depth of field, your close-ups will be taken with an artistically blurredbackground.
	×	Sport ProgramP. 47	Use this program to take sports pictures.USing a fast shutter speed, it freezes themotion of fast-moving subjects to createexciting action photos.
	■	Night SceneProgramP. 47	Use this program in the evening or at night. Even a very dark subject will be exposed so it captures the beauty of all the lightavailable in your night scene.

Lightly pressing the shutter release button automatically focuses the camera on the subject and when the subject is in focus, causes to appear in the viewfinder.

Hold the camera properly.

• Keep your elbow propped against your body for support.
• Stand with one foot forward a half step and keep your upper body still.
• Grasp the camera handgrip with your right hand and use your left hand to cradle the camera (or lens).

Camera shake and shutter speed

Preventing camera shake is crucial when taking photographs. In general, you should set the shutter speed faster than '1/focal length of your lens' sec. (Example: when using a 50mm lens, set the shutter speed faster than 1/50 sec.) Use of a tripod is recommended for shooting at slower shutter speeds.

NOTE: Composing frame

The frame coverage of the finder of this camera is approximately 90% of the actual exposed frame on the film. Therefore, the actual exposed frame is somewhat larger than the image you see through the viewfinder. Note that the edges of a negative film are partially cropped by most labs.

• Dioptré adjustment (page 56) is available to enable you to see through the viewfinder more clearly.
  To take a picture of a off-centre subject, use focus lock (page 38).
  For F60D only: Date or time can be imprinted on your photos/negatives (page 52).

6.2 Compose frame and focus by lightly pressing the shutter release button.

• Centre the focus brackets on your subject and lightly press the shutter release button. The camera focuses automatically and focus indicator appears or blinks.

• appears: Subject is in focus. Automatically tracks moving subject.

• blinks: Unable to focus with autofocus.

When the subject is dark, the camera's AF-Assist Illuminator is activated to achieve correct focus. For details on focusing, see page 36.

• To take a picture of a subject outside the focus brackets, use focus lock (page 38).
• In situations where autofocus may not work as expected, see page 20.

□ When you reach the end of the film roll, the film starts to rewind automatically.
For mid-roll rewind, see page 34.
For self-timer operation, see page 55.

7.3

Film starts to rewind automatically when film reaches the end of the roll.

• When you reach the end of the film roll, the film starts to rewind automatically. appears in the LCD panel during film rewind and the frame counter counts backwards until rewind is complete. Pictures taken on frames beyond the indicated number of the exposures for the film roll may be discarded due to development procedures.

7.4

Confirm film is completely rewound, then remove film cartridge.

• Film is completely rewind when the frame counter shows “£” and @ blinks. Open the camera back away from sunlight and remove the film cartridge by tilting it to one side. If the shutter release button is depressed when rewind film is still in the camera back, “@” blinks. Remove film cartridge.

8.1

Using Built-In Speedlight

If 4 (ready-light indication) blinks in the viewfinder when you lightly press the shutter release button, use the built-in Speedlight.

Press the Speedlight lock-release button to release the Speedlight.

• To close the Speedlight, press gently until it clicks shut. (To conserve power, keep the Speedlight closed when it is not in use.)

Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash

Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash enables proper evaluation of exposure for the main subject and background, and ensures adequate flash output. (For details, see page 58.)

NOTE: Continuous use of built-in Speedlight

After continuous use of the built-in Speedlight, it may stop firing to protect the firing tube. Wait for a while before using the Speedlight again.

Check points

The built-in Speedlight offers an angle of coverage of 28mm lens with a guide number of 15 (ISO100, m).
□ Using a CPU lens enables to perform Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash shooting. (For details, see page 58.)
- Be sure to remove (or store) the lens hood before flash shooting.
Some zoom lenses have limitations using Speedlight and may cause vignetting. (For details, see page 61.)

8.2 Confirm in viewfinder, then compose, focus and take the picture.

• 4 blinks in the viewfinder approx. 3 sec. after full flash output. If this happens, under exposure may have occurred. Check the flash shooting distance range (page 58) and shoot again.
• Normal Sync flash mode is introduced in this section. Flash with Red-Eye Reduction, which reduces the "red-eye" effect with a person or animal, and Slow Sync flash, which brings out the background details, are also available. For details, see page 59.
• With dark subjects (within 0.5m to 3m ), the camera's AF-Assist Illuminator (page 36) is automatically activated to guide autofocus.

About Focus and Exposure

Focus, exposure and metering system are important factors for taking pictures. Knowing the characteristics of each factor helps you widen your photographic expression.

Focus and depth of field

When focusing, depth of field should be considered. Depth of field is the zone of sharpest focus in front of and behind the subject on which the lens is focused. It varies according to shooting distance, focal length and, above all, aperture. Smaller apertures (larger f-numbers) will produce a deeper depth of field where the background and foreground become sharper; larger apertures (smaller f-numbers) will produce a shallower depth of field where the background becomes blurred.

Exposure

Light from the subject passes through the lens and is sensed by the film. Light reaching the film is controlled by the shutter speed and aperture. The proper combination of shutter speed and aperture for subject brightness and film sensitivity results in the correct exposure.

The F60/F60p's General-Purpose Program, Auto-Multi Program and Vari-Program automatically control shutter speed and aperture. In Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode, you can manually set shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the proper aperture. In Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, you can manually set aperture and the camera automatically sets the proper shutter speed. In Manual exposure mode, you manually set both shutter speed and aperture.

Metering System

As the proper combination of shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure is determined according to subject brightness and film sensitivity, measuring subject brightness is very important.

In general, brightness inside the viewfinder is not uniform. The F60/F60D provides two metering systems: Matrix Metering and Centre-Weighted Metering. With Matrix Metering, data on scene brightness is detected by the six-segment Matrix sensor. With Centre-Weighted Metering, most of the meter's sensitivity is concentrated on the 12mm-diameter centre circle in the viewfinder. (With D- or G- AF Nikkor lenses, the F60/F60D camera performs 3D Matrix Metering. See page 48.)

DETAILED OPERATION

This section features detailed descriptions of all camera functions — including lens, film, focus, exposure and others.

Lens Compatibility

Use a CPU lens (except IX-Nikkor) with this camera. D- or G-type AF lenses give you access to all available functions.

G-type Nikkor and other CPU Nikkor lens

• The G-type Nikkor lens has no aperture ring; aperture should be selected from camera body. Unlike other CPU Nikkor lenses, aperture does not need to be set to minimum (largest f-number).
• CPU Nikkor lenses other than G-type Nikkor lens have an aperture ring. Set the lens aperture to its minimum and lock. When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting and the power switch is turned on, F - · · · blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder and the shutter cannot be released.

When a non-CPU lens is attached

• Usable exposure modes are limited.

A non-CPU lens can be used only when the exposure mode is set to M (manual). (Shutter cannot be released with other modes.) With a non-CPU lens, the exposure meter cannot be activated and the aperture cannot be set using the aperture button and Command Dial. F -- appears in place of the aperture indication in the LCD panel and viewfinder; set/confirm aperture using the lens' aperture ring.

Mid-roll rewind

• To rewind film at mid-roll, press the (mid-roll rewind) button with a pointed object. When film is completely rewound, appears and blinks in the LCD panel. Open the camera back and remove the film cartridge.

In case film does not start to rewind or film rewind stops at mid-roll

• When battery power is very low, or in low temperatures, film may not start rewinding or film rewind may stop at mid-roll, and and _rr will blink in the LCD panel. In this case, turn off the main switch, change batteries, then turn on the main switch to rewind film again.

Film advance mode

• Film advance mode is normally set to single-frame shooting, where the film is advanced one frame after you release the shutter. Selecting Sport Program automatically switches the film advance mode to continuous shooting, where the shutter is continuously released and the film continues to advance (approx. 1 frame/sec.) for as long as the shutter release button remains depressed.

Focus Mode

Autofocus

• With the focus mode selector set to AF, lightly pressing the shutter release button automatically focuses the camera on the subject and causes to appear in the viewfinder.

Auto-Servo AF:

Camera automatically chooses Single Servo AF or Continuous Servo AF operation according to the subject status, i.e. stationary or moving (including directional information).

1. Single Servo AF: Once focused on a subject, focus is locked.
2. Continuous Servo AF: The camera continuously focuses on a moving subject.
3. When Sport Program is selected, the camera automatically switches to Continuous Servo AF and the camera continuously focuses on the subject.
4. In either case, the shutter will not be released until the subject is in focus and appears in the viewfinder.

AF-Assist Illuminator

• The AF-Assist Illuminator provides the necessary illumination to focus on dark subjects. The camera activates the AF-Assist Illuminator in the following conditions:
• When a AF Nikkor lens is attached, the focus mode is set to AF, and the subject is dark.
• When exposure mode is not set to Landscape or Sport Program.

The AF-Assist Illuminator is activated automatically and cannot be cancelled. It is effective for lenses with a focal length of 24mm to 200mm , and the effective focus distance is 0.5 to 3m .

NOTE: Continuous use of AF-Assist Illuminator

After continuous use of the AF-Assist Illuminator, it may stop emitting light to protect the firing tube. Wait for a while before using the Illuminator again.

AF-Assist Illuminator with optional Speedlight

When an optional Speedlight with the AF-Assist Illuminator is attached and TTL Auto Flash is selected, the AF-Assist Illuminator on the Speedlight unit emits light. See page 62 for "Usable Optional Speedlights".

Manual focus

• Set the focus mode selector to M. Look through the viewfinder and rotate the lens focusing ring until the image appears sharp on the clear matte field in the viewfinder. The shutter can be released whether or not the subject is in focus, and does not appear in the viewfinder.

Use Manual focus in situations where autofocus may not work as expected (page 20) or lens other than AF Nikkor (page 32) is attached.

Electronic Rangefinder

Lightly pressing the shutter release button and rotating the lens focusing ring activates the Electronic Rangefinder to indicate the focus status in the viewfinder. When the subject is in focus, appears in the viewfinder. In manual focus, shutter can be released anytime. The Electronic Rangefinder works with most Nikkor lenses (including AF Nikkors when operated manually) having a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster.

Focus Lock

Focus Lock proves useful in autofocus shooting when you want to capture off-centre subject. It is also effective in situations where autofocus may not work as expected (page 20).

Position the focus brackets on the subject and lightly press the shutter release button.

• appears when the subject is in focus. The focus remains locked as long as the shutter release button is lightly pressed.
• Focus Lock cannot be used when the exposure mode is set to Sport Program.
• When you want to lock focus on a stationary subject that has been moving and tracked with Continuous Servo AF (changed to Single Servo AF from Continuous Servo AF), remove your finger from the shutter release button once and focus again.

2 Confirm focus indicator ● then (while keeping shutter release button lightly pressed) recompose and shoot.

• After you have locked the focus, do not change the camera-to-subject distance. If you keep the shutter release button lightly pressed after releasing the shutter, the shutter can be released repeatedly with the same focusing.

Vari-Program selection

: Portrait Program

Use this program whenever you are taking pictures of people. It uses a relatively large aperture (smaller f-number) and shallow depth of field to create a blurred background to accentuate your main subject. Recommended AF Nikkor lenses: 85mm to 200mm telephoto lenses with large maximum apertures.

: Landscape Program

Use this program whenever you're taking a picture of a distant scene. It generally selects a smaller aperture to assure sharply focused landscape pictures.

Recommended lenses: you can use the full range of lenses (wideangle to telephoto) to achieve different effects.

• To avoid camera shake, use a tripod.

: Close-Up Program

Use this program when you are taking pictures up close. It uses a larger aperture (smaller f-number) and a shallow depth of field to create a blurred background that accentuates your main subject. Recommended AF Nikkor lenses: AF Micro-Nikkor lenses.

• To avoid camera shake, use a tripod.

:Sport Program

Use this program to freeze action. It uses a fast shutter speed suitable for stop-action photography.

Recommended AF Nikkor lenses: 80mm to 300mm telephoto lenses

• In X Sport Program, focus detection continues as long as the shutter release button is lightly pressed. By fully depressing the shutter release button and holding it in, you can perform continuous shooting.

: Night Scene Program

Use this program in the evening or at night. It allows you to capture the beauty of nighttime scenes.

You can also use it with the flash when you want to include portraits in a night scene composition. Recommended lenses: you can use the full range of lenses (wideangle to telephoto) to achieve different effects.

• To avoid camera shake, use a tripod.

Exposure Metering System

The exposure metering system of this camera is normally set to Matrix Metering. It automatically switches to Centre-Weighted Metering when the exposure mode is set to Manual or when the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 49) is used.

Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering

Matrix Metering provides correct exposure control using a six-segment Matrix Sensor. With D- or G-type AF Nikkor lenses, 3D Matrix Metering automatically activates to use scene brightness, scene contrast and subject distance information to ensure even more accurate exposure control. All exposure modes except Manual exposure and the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 49) employ Matrix Metering.

Centre-Weighted Metering

Centre-Weighted Metering places special emphasis on brightness within the 12mm-diameter circle in the viewfinder and is thus useful for basing exposure on a specific area of the scene. The metering system automatically switches to Centre-Weighted Metering when exposure mode is set to Manual (page 43) or when the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 49) is used.

Auto Exposure Lock

■ When using the auto exposure modes, you can control the exposure based on the brightness of a specific area within the scene using the Auto Exposure Lock function. The metering system automatically switches to Centre-Weighted Metering when this function is used.

1 Centre the main subject inside the viewfinder and zoom-in. Press the AE-L button while lightly pressing the shutter release button.

2 Keeping the AE-L button pressed, recompose, focus and shoot.

Exposure Compensation

To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the exposure compensation function. This can be useful when the subject has pronounced contrast or when bracketing exposure with colour slide film (where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal). You can modify exposure control from -3EV to +3EV in 1/2 steps (except in AUTO mode and Vari-Program).

Compensate exposure by rotating the Command Dial while pressing the button until the desired compensation value appears.

-0.5EV compensation

+2EV compensation

• When the exposure compensation is set, 2 appears in the viewfinder and LCD panel. The compensation value can be checked by pressing the 2 button (it is also indicated in the viewfinder's electronic analogue display). In flash photography, the flash output level is also compensated.
• Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the background is brighter than your main subject or to the - side when the background is darker.

2 Compose picture and shoot.

• To cancel exposure compensation, rotate the Command Dial while pressing the 2 button to reset the compensation value to 0. Or you can perform Two-Button Reset (page 57). (Turning the camera off does not cancel the exposure compensation function.)

Imprinting Date/Time (for F60D only)

You can imprint the following date information on your picture (in any exposure mode): Year/Month/Day, Day/Hour/Minute, Month/Day/Year or Day/Month/Year.

Imprinted date/time

The illustration at right indicates the position of the imprinted date/time. It may be difficult to read against bright colors such as white or reddish hues.

NOTE: Battery requirements for imprinting

Imprinting of date/time requires one CR2025 3V lithium battery separate from the batteries required for the camera body. Battery life is approx. 3 years. When the imprinting on the photo appears faded and/or the display of the data imprint on the LCD becomes faint or disappears, this indicates low battery power. Replace the battery (making sure to set correct date/time after changing battery, page 53).

Changing battery for imprinting

Open camera back, remove the screw on the inside of the camera back. Remove the battery chamber cover and then remove the used battery.

2 Fully depress the shutter release button to take a picture with the imprinted date/time.

• To confirm whether date/time is imprinted, check that the imprint indicator
  blinks for approx. 2 sec. immediately after taking a picture.

Self-Timer Operation

You can use the self-timer when you want to be in the photograph. Use a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using the self-timer.

Press (self-timer) button and confirm that appears on the LCD panel.

• When button is pressed, duration of camera's meter changes to 30 sec. Press the shutter release button within 30 sec. of pressing the button.
• The self-timer cannot be performed unless the camera's shutter can be released (i.e. when subject cannot be in focus with autofocus).
• To shoot in an exposure mode other than Manual, cover the eyepiece with the supplied eyepiece cap (page 56) or hand before pressing the shutter release button to prevent interference to achieve correct exposure from stray light.
• Do not stand in front of the lens when setting the self-timer in autofocus mode.

2 Compose picture, focus and fully depress the shutter release button.

• When the self-timer is activated, the shutter will release in 10 seconds. The self-timer/red-eye reduction lamp and in the LCD panel blink for 8 sec. and then stop blinking for 2 sec. before the shutter is released. When Red-Eye Reduction (page 59) is set, the self-timer/red-eye reduction lamp lights for 2 sec. before the shutter releases at the same output level as the normal Red-Eye Reduction function.
• To cancel the self-timer (before or during self-timer operation), press button again, turn the main switch off or perform Two-Button Reset (page 57). The self-timer can also be cancelled by leaving the camera untouched for more than 30 sec. after setting the function.

Dioptre Adjustment/Eyepiece Cap

The finder dioptre enables near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust the eyepiece dioptre to suit their vision.

• Slide the dioptre adjustment lever while looking through the viewfinder until the focus brackets in the viewfinder appear sharp. The adjustable range of the finder dioptre is -1.5m^-1 to +1.0m^-1 . Nine optional eyepiece correction lenses provide viewfinder dioptre of -5.0m^-1 to +3.0m^-1 .

NOTE: Using the dioptrc adjustment lever

Since the dioptre adjustment lever is located next to the viewfinder, be careful not to poke your eyes with your finger or fingernail while sliding the lever.

Using the eyepiece cap or optional eyepiece correction lens

Flash Photography

Built-in Speedlight and Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash

This camera is equipped with built-in Speedlight that provides an angle of coverage for a 28mm lens with a guide number of 15 (ISO100, m).

Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash ensures proper exposure of the main subject and background, and controls adequate flash output to create natural-looking flash photography (with CPU lens).

In addition to shooting in dim light, the flash can be used in daylight to reduce shadows on the main subject or to put catchlights in your subject's eyes.

Four flash sync modes—Normal Sync, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow Sync and RedEye Reduction with Slow Sync—are available with this camera.

• When using a non-CPU lens, standard TTL flash is the only flash mode available. To ensure optimum performance, use of CPU lenses is recommended.

Flash shooting distance range

Flash shooting distance changes according to the film speed in use and aperture setting.

ISO Film speed	25	50	100	200	400	800	Flash shooting distance range m
Guide number m	8	11	15	21	30	42
Aperture value	—	—	1.4	2	2.8	4	2-10.6
	—	1.4	2	2.8	4	5.6	1.4-7.5
	1.4	2	2.8	4	5.6	8	1-5.3
	2	2.8	4	5.6	8	11	0.7-3.8
	2.8	4	5.6	8	11	16	0.6-2.7
	4	5.6	8	11	16	22	0.6-1.9
	5.6	8	11	16	22	32	0.6-1.3
	8	11	16	22	32	—	0.6-0.9

• The flash shooting distance range can also be calculated by dividing the guide number by the aperture value selected.

Example: when f/2.8 is selected with ISO 100 film using this camera's built-in Speedlight, the maximum flash shooting distance will be;

$$ \frac {1 5}{2 . 8} = \text {a p p r o x .} 5. 3 \mathrm {m} $$

Flash sync mode features

4: Red-Eye Reduction

The Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approx. 1 sec. before the flash fires to reduce the red-eye effect in photos of people or animals.

SLOW: Slow Sync

Normally, the camera's shutter speed is automatically set to 1/125 sec. with flash photography. But for shooting nighttime scenes, Slow Sync uses a slower shutter speed to bring out background details using all of the available light.

• Red-Eye Reduction and Slow Sync can be set simultaneously by selecting _SLOW . See page 60.
• Selectable flash sync modes depends on the exposure mode selected. See page 64 for the available combinations of flash sync modes and exposure modes.

NOTE: Flash Sync Modes

• When Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync is set, RedEye Reduction lamp (page 2) lights for approx. 1 sec. before the flash fires. Do not move the camera or let the subject move until shutter is released.
• With some lenses, light from the Red-Eye Reduction lamp may not reach the subject's eyes. In some cases, red-eye effect may not be reduced effectively due to the location of main subject.
• With Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, keep the camera steady to prevent picture blur since the shutter speed is slow. Use of a tripod is recommended.

1 When the exposure mode is set to Manual, the flash mode switches to Centre-Weighted Fill-Flash.
2 With SB-29 and SB-21B, autofocus can only be used when an AF Micro-Nikkor (60mm, 105mm, 200mm and 70-180mm) is attached.
*3 TTL Auto Flash is possible with TTL Remote Cord SC-23. In A or M exposure mode, attach SU-2 to SC-13 with SB-11 and SB-14 or attach SU-3 to SC-13, SC-11 or SC-15 to AS-15 with SB-140 in conjunction with SC-23.
- Ultraviolet and infrared photography can be performed only when SB-140 is set to M .
- See your Speedlight manual for details. If the camera groups are defined in the manual of the Speedlight with TTL auto flash, see the section for camera group IV.

Notes on using the optional Speedlight

• Flash sync speed is 1/125 sec. or slower when using an optional Speedlight.
  Available film speeds for TTL Auto Flash are ISO 25 to ISO 800.
• When the Red-Eye Reduction function is used, the Red-Eye Reduction lamp on the camera body (not on Speedlight unit) illuminates.
• The AF-Assist Illuminator on the Speedlight unit usually emits light. However, when a non-TTL Auto Flash or manual flash is selected, the AF-Assist Illuminator on the camera body lights up instead.
• Set the exposure mode to A or M when shooting with the Speedlight in mode other than TTL Auto Flash.
• In General-Purpose or Auto-Multi Program exposure mode, camera automatically controls maximum available aperture as follows in relation to the film speed.

ISO film speed	25	50	100	200	400	800
Maximum available aperture (built-in Speedlight)	f/2	f/2.4	f/2.8	f/3.3	f/4	f/4.8
Maximum available aperture (optional Speedlight)	f/2.8	f/3.3	f/4	f/4.8	f/5.6	f/6.7

• When film speed increases by one step, the maximum available aperture is stopped down by 1/2 f/stop. If you are using a lens with a maximum aperture smaller than that listed above, automatically controlled aperture range is from the lens' maximum to minimum aperture.
• Attach the optional Sync Terminal Adapter AS-15 when a sync terminal is needed.
• Use only Nikon Speedlights. Other units may damage the camera's electrical circuit due to incompatible voltage requirements (not compatible with 250V or higher), electric contact alignment or switch phase.

Available Mode Combinations

The following chart lists available modes when an AF Nikkor is attached (except IX-Nikkor, AF-S or AF-I lens).

—:Cannot be set.

1 When Auto Exposure Lock (page 49) is used, Centre-Weighted Metering is selected in any exposure mode.
2 Only Manual exposure mode can be used when a non-CPU lens is attached. Camera's exposure meter cannot be used and aperture cannot be set with camera's aperture button and Command Dial. (Select the aperture using the lens' aperture ring.) See "Lens Compatibility" on page 32.
- With built-in Speedlight, each flash sync mode is controlled with the Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash (page 58); however, flash sync mode changes to Centre-Weighted Fill-Flash with Manual exposure mode.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Nikon F60/F60D is a high-performance, precision instrument, designed to give you superior pictures. You'll want to take good care of your camera to ensure the best performance. Take time to review this section thoroughly, as doing so will add to your picture taking pleasure. We've also included information about optional accessories and a detailed section with technical specifications. Please read them carefully.

Optional Accessories

Soft Case

Two camera cases are available for this camera.

• CF-49: Camera body fits inside case with AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D or AF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D or smaller lens attached.
• CF-50: Camera body fits inside case with AF 35-70mm f/2.8D or AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED or smaller lens attached.

Straps

Nikon offers a variety of camera straps.

AN-4B (black), AN-4Y (yellow): Braid-type neckstrap
- AN-6Y (yellow), AN-6W (Burgundy): Wide braid-type neckstrap

AF Nikkor lens

Various AF Nikkor lenses, from 14mm to 600mm telephoto, are available. Most AF Nikkor lenses can be used with this camera.

Filters

Nikon offers a range of filters including NC filter for lens protection, and Soft Filter Soft 1, 2 or Circular Polarizing Filter C-PL for special effects.

Nikon Speedlight

Flash photography with a wider range or greater focus distance is possible since the optional Speedlights offer larger guide numbers than the built-in Speedlight. For usable optional Speedlight and available flash modes, see page 62.

Camera Care

Do NOT ever use organic solvents like thinner or benzene. It causes fire or health hazard. It damages the camera.

- Cleaning camera body

Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the camera body and clean it with a soft, clean cloth. After using the camera near sea water, wipe the camera body with a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with pure water to remove salt, and then dry it with a dry cloth.

- Cleaning mirror and lens

Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the mirror or lens. To remove fingerprints or smudges from the lens' surface, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner.

- Do not subject the camera or lens to strong vibration or shock

Do not drop the camera body and lens or hit them against a hard surface as this may damage their precision mechanism.

- Do not touch the shutter curtains

The shutter is made of very thin curtains. Do not hold, poke, or blow strongly with a blower brush. Doing so may scratch, deform or tear the shutter curtains.

- Avoid strong electric or magnetic fields

The camera may not function properly in strong electric or magnetic fields such as near a transmitter tower. Avoid using the camera in such locations.

- Store the camera in a cool, dry place

Store the camera in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew. Keep it away from naphthalene or camphor (moth repellent), electrical appliances that generate magnetic fields or an excessively hot place such as inside a vehicle during the summer or near a heater.

- Avoid extreme temperature change

An extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the camera body. When taking the camera to a very hot place from a very cold place or vice versa, place it inside an airtight container such as a plastic bag and leave it inside a while to expose the camera gradually to the temperature change.

• Remove the batteries and store the camera with a desiccant

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries to protect the camera from battery leakage.

• In a humid environment, store the camera inside a plastic bag with a desiccant to keep out dust, moisture and salt. Note, however, that storing leather cases in vinyl bags may cause the leather to deteriorate. Keep the batteries in a cool, dry place away from heat or humidity.
• Change the desiccant occasionally since it does not absorb moisture effectively after using it for a while.
• Leaving the camera unused for a long period of time may cause mold to grow and result in malfunction. Turn the power on and release the shutter a few times once per month.
• To maintain the built-in Speedlight in peak condition, fire it a few times every month. This will enable you to use the flash for many years.

Notes on Batteries

Keep batteries out of children's reach. If someone accidentally swallows batteries, call a doctor immediately.

• Use two CR123A or DL123A lithium batteries

Use two CR123A or DL123A lithium batteries.

• Change the batteries well before the end of their life and prepare spare batteries before important photographic occasions.

• Turn the camera power off when changing batteries

Turn the camera power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries with and ends positioned correctly.
- Stains on the battery poles may cause lack of contact. Wipe the batteries well with a dry cloth before installing.

• Use fresh batteries at low temperatures

Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately.

• Film advance speed lowers and number of usable film roll becomes less at low temperatures. However, battery power may recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not throw batteries into a fire or short circuit batteries

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not short, disassemble, heat or charge batteries.

Nikon cannot be held responsible for any malfunction resulting from the use of the camera other than as specified in this manual.

In certain cases, due to static electricity or poorly loaded batteries, the F60/F60D camera's microcomputer may turn the camera off, even with fresh properly installed batteries. For the same reason, film may not advance properly. In each of these cases, to resume operation, simply turn the power off, then turn it on again, or remove batteries and install them again.
