NIKON

F100

35mm SLR Autofocus Camera

For generations, Nikon cameras have allowed professional photogra-

phers to achieve maximum performance day-in and day-out.

Performance they can count on, shot after shot. Designed to provide

professional photographers with everything they need — in the studio

and on assignment—the compact and rugged F100 delivers. It makes

precise, responsive Dynamic Autofocus so fast, that images literally

snap into focus. It also works perfectly with every AF Nikkor lens, AF-

S Nikkor, AI-S Nikkor and more.

It features Nikon’s 3D Matrix Metering while Nikon’s automatic

balanced fill-flash system is uncanny at showing up that touch of

extra light for perfect exposures and cover page pictures. For extra

dependability, the chassis, top, bottom and front covers, and selected parts are constructed of rugged yet lightweight magnesium

alloy metal. Last, 22 custom settings and a host of accessories make the F100 a clear choice in 35mm systems.

Three Metering Systems

10-segment 3D Matrix Metering:

10-segment 3D Matrix Metering provides

intelligent image analysis. In addition to

reading brightness, the system analyzes the

‘atmosphere’ of a scene by taking the entire

image into account. It achieves this by com-

paring the exposure information of the more

than 35,000 scenes in the camera’s database

with a complex array of actual scene condi-

tions, including brightness, contrast, subject-

to-camera distance and the selected focus

area. Use of a database distinguishes this

meter from typical multi-segment meters.

Center-Weighted Metering:

The meter concentrates 75% of its sensitivity

on the 12mm-diameter circle while feather-

ing the rest out to the edges, resulting in

excellent overall balance. Ideal for shooting

portraits or other center-dominant subjects.

Spot Metering:

When you need pinpoint precision, Spot

Metering reads a 4mm-diameter area (1% of

the image area). The sensing area also adjusts

to correspond to the manually selected focus

area for optimal individual control.

Dynamic Autofocus

Nikon’s exclusive Dynamic Autofocus gives you the ability to capture the key

moments, the exciting action shots that make the image special. Dynamic AF

automatically follows moving objects as they cross the frame and move along five

strategically placed focus areas. Should your subject move off the selected area,

accurate autofocus in ensured by Nikon’s Lock-On feature.

◆ Nikon’s AF system simultaneously detects

focus and drives the lens. The result is

extremely precise focusing that operates

smoothly and quickly frame after frame, for

every frame.

◆ Focus tracking is automatically activated

when your subject starts to move, regardless

of direction, and it operates at framing rates

up to 4.5 fps (frames per second). Using the

optional MB-15 Multi-Power High-Speed

Battery Pack, the F100 achieves speeds up

to 5 fps. If the main subject wanders off the

AF sensor area during focus tracking opera-

tion, or if something momentarily blocks

the sensor’s view, Lock-On is automatically

activated and the F100 continues to track

the subject, maintaining sharp focus.

◆ For maximum versatility, the F100 offers

two AF modes. Single Servo AF with focus

priority (AF-S) won’t release the shutter

until complete, sharp focus is achieved.

Continuous Servo AF with release priority

(AF-C) lets you release the shutter

whenever you’re ready. Simply press the

Focus Area Selector Pad to quickly select or

change a focus area.

◆ Manual focusing the F100 is a smooth,

precise operation. It uses no battery power,

so it’s ideal for extending battery life in

power-draining conditions. The F100’s ver-

satile electronic rangefinder simplifies man-

ual focusing when used with lenses having a

maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster—all

of Nikon’s AF Nikkor lenses.

◆ The F100 comes standard with Nikon’s B-type BriteView screen. You can also choose the

optional E-type screen, which also functions with the F100’s built-in red LED projected display

that highlights the focus detection areas.

The heart of the F100’s AF system is the Multi-CAM AF module. Creatively aligned Wide-Cross Array Sensor design makes autofocus

operation fast, whether you hold the camera horizontally or vertically. For creative composition, especially for action photograph

y, you can

choose any of the F100’s AF sensors as a primary sensor; so you’re never locked into using just the center sensor for a first AF reading.
