11-Area High-Speed Autofocus System
Featuring eleven AF sensors — including nine
cross-type sensors which cover the greater
part of the viewing area — the Multi-
CAM2000 AF sensor module responds quickly
and delivers razor-sharp focus even in the
most challenging situations. The cross-type
sensors function with all AF NIKKOR lenses
with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster,
and enable enhanced small or low-contrast
subject detection. Furthermore, large sensors
help make possible smooth, swift AF opera-
tion with markedly wider defocus detection
capability.
Dynamic AF Operation
Even when shooting a moving subject, the
F6’s Dynamic AF ensures highly precise
focusing, by shifting rapidly to the focus area
to which the subject has moved.
In Dynamic AF mode, one of three available
modes, you can assign top priority to the
most suitable focus area for your composi-
tion. Engage Closest-Subject-Priority
Dynamic AF mode to have the F6 select the
appropriate area for you. And for optimum
results when attempting to capture a mov-
ing subject, use Group Dynamic AF mode.
Select several adjacent focus areas (center,
top, bottom, left, right), and the camera
automatically focuses on the center focus
area of the selected areas.
3D Color Matrix Metering
The F6’s 3D Color Matrix Metering offers
enhanced precision thanks largely to an
improved scene-detecting algorithm. It ana-
lyzes numerous aspects of the scene condi-
tions — including brightness, contrast,
selected focus area, subject-to-camera dis-
tance and color — and compares them to the
reference information of more than 30,000
actual scenes in the database, ensuring
super-precise exposure control and faithfully
preserving the ambience of the scene.
Flexible Center-Weighted and Spot Metering
Nikon’s own Flexible Center-Weighted
Metering provides you with the option of
selecting the size of the sensing area from
Custom Settings. And Spot Metering
changes to correspond with the focus area
you’ve selected.
i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash
The F6 supports the i-TTL Flash Control
system, providing outstanding results
and myriad creative possibilities.
Nikon’s Creative Lighting System, the
most advanced flash control system
anywhere, uses a new algorithm and a
brighter, shorter Monitor Pre-flash to lift
the precision of i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash
even beyond that of Nikon’s acclaimed
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
systems. Furthermore, the Creative
Lighting System allows you
to employ advanced flash
techniques including
Advanced Wireless Lighting
and FV (Flash Value) Lock.
VISUAL BRILLIANCE — The 0.74x viewfinder portrays radiant colors in every hue
imaginable, and the F6’s superior electronics do the rest.
