FOREWORD--------- Congratulations! You now own one of the most advanced, easy-to - use cameras on the market today. Thanks to a TTL image displacement detecting system utiliz· ing two SPD 's built into the AF Finder DX - 1 , this camera offers you through-the - Iens autofocus control with either of two AF- Nikkor lenses , the BOmm f/2 .

EXPOSURE------------------------------ 28 To match the convenience of autofocus , the Nikon F3AF features aperture - priority auto ex posure . All you do is set the camera at A ( Auto) and fire away .
Setting the Film Speed To program the F3AF to give the correct exposure with a par- ticular film , you must first set the camera to the correct film speed.
-EXPOSURE-continued--------------- Setting the Aperture The second factor in determining exposure is the shooting aper - ture . Aperture, or the opening formed by the diaphragm inside the lens , controls the amount of light allowed to pass through the lens and strike the film ; it also controls depth of field (see page 36 for more information) .
The shutter speed dial @ has the following settings : A (Auto): Provide s aperture-priority automatic exposure con- trol in which you first select the shooting aperture, then the camera sets the corresponding shutt~r speed for correct exposure . 1/2000 "' 8 sec _ : 15 discrete settings give you full manual con- trol of the shutter speed.

-EXPOSURE-continued--------------- Depth of Field When you shoot at a certain aperture and focusing distance , you will find that not only the main subject but objects in a cer - tain distance range in front of and behind it will be s harp in the final photograph .
Depth-of-field preview button ® When a lens with an automatic diaphragm is used, the image in the viewfinder is viewed with the lens at ma xi mum aperture. However , by depressing the depth-of -fie ld preview button , the len s will be stopped down to the aperture se t , enabling you to examine depth of field before shooting.
-EXPOSURE-continued--------------- Lens set at f/2 . 8 Lens set at f/16 38.
Suggested Applications for Exposure Compensation Exposure Compensation I n the vast majority of cases , the F3AF provides the correct exposure on automatic. However , certain situations require a deviation from the automatic exposure sett ing . For this purpose , the F3AF features both an exposure compensation dial @ and a memory lock button ®.
-EXPOSURE-continued--------------- Memory lock button Another way of making exposure compensation with the F3AF on automatic is to use the exposure memory lock button.
Stop-Down Exposure Measurement When using a non-AI lens or certain close-up accessories, you must push the meter coupling lever release button @ and lock the meter coupling lever 4 in the "u p " position before mounting a lens or attaching an accessory.
OTHERCONTROLS------------------------- Shutter Release Button 75 Depressing the button halfway switches on the exposure meter and autofocus function and activates the viewfinder LED and LCD displays for focus/exposure information . Both displays stay on for approx .
Film Advance Lever @) The film advance lever is coaxial with the shutter release button @ and is specially contoured to fit the thumb. To advance the film , wind the lever to the right all the way until it stops . It auto- matically returns to the standoff position the moment you take your thumb off it.
-OTHER CONTROLS-continued---------- Eyepiece Shutter Lever @ When it is impossible to keep your eye at the viewfinder (such as when utilizing the self-timer), you should use the eyepiece shutter. This s hutter prevents stray light from entering the eye- piece and adversely affecting the automatic exposure meter reading and autofocus function .
Mirror Lockup Lever CD In the following situa t io n s, the F 3A F' s mirror @ must be lo cke d in the " up " position : when you want to operate the Motor Drive MD -4 at 6 frames pe r second or when using certain fisheye l enses whic h do not feature through-the-Iens viewi ng .
-OTHER CONTROLS-continued----------- Multiple Exposure Lever 74 For crea t ive and unusual effects, the F3AF allows yo u to r ecord more than one im age on the same fr ame of fi lm . T o make double or multiple exposures, follow this procedure : 1) Take the first shot.
Film Plane Indicator @ The film plane indicator ( -E>- ) is engraved in white on the top deck just behind the shutter speed dial. It indicates the exact position of the film plane inside the camera. Whenever it becomes necessary to measure the exact distance between the subject and .
FLASHPHOTOGRAPHY--------------------- The Nikon F3AF has been specially designed to make electronic flash photography easier than ever. When used with an acces- sory Nikon dedicated flash unit , the camera offers fully auto- matic through-the - Iens ( TTL) control of the flash exposure .
Accessory Shoe ® Located at the base of the rewind knob @, the accessory shoe allows direct mounting of a Nikon dedicated flash unit , such as the 88-12, 88-16A or 88-17 .
-FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY-continued--------- Sync Terminal 16 A separate sync terminal with a protective screw-in cover is provided on the Nikon F3AF. When using flashbulbs or an elec- tronic flash unit without a hot - shoe contact, it is necessary to use the camera 's sync terminal.
Ready-Light A built-in LED ready-light is provided in the upper right-hand portion of the viewfinder outside the picture area . When a Nikon dedicated flash unit (or a TTL sensor cord) is attached to the accessory shoe ® , the ready-light comes on as soon as the flash is recycled, indicating that the unit is ready to fire .
ACCESSORIES---------------------------- DE-2 DE-3 Interchangeable Viewfinders In addition to the AF Finder DX-1 , the F3AF camera also accepts other interchangeable viewfinders designed for the regular Nikon F3. With them , all Nikkor and Nikon Series E lenses , including the AF-Nikkors , are usable with the F3AF body .
To remove the finder, use your thumb and forefinger to slide the finder release levers ® toward the back of the camera ; then lift the finder out. Before attaching another viewfinder, a focusing screen must be installed (please refer to page 54).
-ACCESSORIES-continued------------ Focusing Screens When using a viewfinder other than t he standard AF Fin d er DX-1, you have a choice of 21 interchangeable focusing screens , as listed on the next page .
