TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the
Nikon F75* 35mm (135) autofocus SLR camera.
*Nikon F75 will be sold as Nikon N75 in the U.S. A compact, lightweight
AF SLR camera, the Nikon F75 was developed as the Nikon AF SLR model for
amateur SLR users including beginners. Offering advanced Nikon features
and innovations that are standard in Nikon F5, F100 and F80 SLRs, Nikon
system compatibility, and compact design, the F75 makes SLR photography
very simple, convenient and versatile.
Boasting an ergonomic design, the F75 features easy-to-use dials and a
large LCD panel for simplicity of operation. The fully automatic AUTO
mode, for example, offers point-and-shoot capability which is ideal for
beginners to SLR photography.
In addition, the F75’s Vari-Program modes handle specific subjects and
scenes automatically -- determining aperture and shutter speed values
with professional precision.
The F75 also features P, S, A and M exposure modes for control of
exposure that grows along with the photographer’s capabilities.
The new Nikon F75 offers the latest Nikon technology, great SLR
performance and an affordable price. Nikon’s exclusive high-performance
features include new 25-segment 3D Matrix Metering, Five-Area Dynamic
Autofocus system with Focus Area Selector and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced
Fill-Flash control.
Also, it is easy to operate. Large mode dial and easy-to-view LCD panel
ensure easy access to exposure modes, including Auto and five
Vari-Program modes, for point-and-shoot operation with professional results.
A built-in Speedlight automatically pops up and fires flash when light
is low or the subject is in backlighting.
The F75 also features creative exposure control functions like Auto
Exposure Bracketing, Exposure Compensation, Multiple Exposure and more.
In addition, New On-Screen Battery/Film Indicators in the viewfinder
show battery power and film supply status.
Of course, it is fully compatible with more than 40 AF Nikkor lenses
including AF-S and VR lenses, for world-class optical quality.
All these features are packed into a stylish, compact, lightweight body
for extra portability.
The Nikon F75 is available in a standard and a QD version (F75D), and
are available in black or silver color.
For all these reasons, the Nikon F75 invites countless first-time SLR
users as well as amateurs to the world of Nikon photography.
Note: Specifications, design, product name and standard accessories may
differ by country or area.
Nikon F75 Feature Highlights
Easy, intuitive operation
For all its sophistication, the F75 is particularly easy and intuitive
to operate, so photographers don’t require detailed technical knowledge
to master desired photographic effects. Simply select a shooting mode
according to the shooting situation or type of picture wanted. A
built-in Speedlight automatically pops up, ready to illuminate a scene
in low light
Informative viewfinder
The viewfinder lets users keep their eye on the subject as they check
shooting information. To confirm the focus area selected, the Vari-Brite
Focus Area display is automatically superimposed in black in the
viewfinder, and momentarily illuminated in red when you focus on a dark
or poorly lit subject. New On-Screen Battery/Film indicators appear to
warn users when battery power is running low, film is not properly
loaded or just a few frames of film remain. Diopter Adjustment of the
eyepiece compensates for near- or far-sightedness in a -1.5 to +0.8m-1
range.
Five-Area Dynamic Autofocus System
The Nikon F75 AF system features five AF sensors, covering a wide area
horizontally and vertically. In addition, the F75 has three Dynamic AF
modes for maintaining focus automatically as the subject moves from a
focus area you’ve selected to another.
Closest-Subject-Priority Dynamic AF mode. The focus area with the
closest subject is automatically selected, so users can concentrate on
shutter timing and shoot at will. Ideal for candid photography.
Center-Subject-Priority Dynamic AF mode. The center focus area is
automatically selected. It is quick, simple and useful to turn the AF
Area Mode Selector to this mode when there are closer objects to the
camera than the main subject within the frame.
User-Selected-Area Dynamic AF mode. Focus Area Selector on the camera
back is used to choose a specific focus area when composing a shot.
New 25-segment 3D Matrix Metering
25-segment 3D Matrix Metering is very smart at analyzing scene
“atmosphere” as well as brightness. Comparing complex exposure
information of more than 30,000 scenes in the camera’s database with
that from the actual scene, the F75 automatic exposure control system is
astonishingly accurate.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
With either the built-in Speedlight or a Nikon dedicated Speedlight set
at TTL, the F75’s five-segment TTL Multi Sensor and Monitor Pre-flash
system determines the precise amount of flash needed to create a
well-balanced picture by analyzing scene brightness, contrast and
subject reflectance an instant before the shot is taken.
