Nikon Camera F3AF - Manual (Page 11)

FOREWORD
Congratulations! You now own one of the most advanced,
easy-to-use cameras on the market today.
Thanks to a TTL image dispiacement detecting system utiliz­
ing two SPD’s built into the AF Finder DX-1, this camera offers
you through-the-iens autofocus controi with either of two AF-
Nikkor lenses, the 80mm f/2.8 and the 200mm f/3.5 IF-ED.
Thus, you can shoot fast-moving action whiie the subject
remains in sharp focus. And like the reguiar Nikon F3, the
shutter speed is set automaticaliy to match the f/stop in use,
so you never have to worry about getting the correct exposure.
The F3AF aiso gives you focus-aid operation with the vast
majority of Nikkor and Nikon Series E ienses having a maxi­
mum aperture of f/3.5 or faster, while regular manual
focusing using the matte portion of the screen is possibie
with any lens.
Before actually taking pictures with the F3AF, you should
familiarize yourself with its basic operation as presented in the
first section. For more detailed explanations and special
picture-taking situations, refer to the rest of the manual. A few
minutes wisely invested now will pay off later in years of re­
warding photographic experiences.
To insure proper service, make sure the Nikon Warranty Card
is enclosed in the camera box.
