The Multi-CAM1300 autofocus sensor module incorporates five AF sensors configured in a large widecross array covering the center, left, right, top and bottom segments of the viewing area.

q 3D Color Matrix Metering
This exclusive Nikon feature evaluates not only the brightness and contrast of each scene, but also, using a special Red-Green-Blue (RGB) sensor, the scene's colors. Imagine a sunset with warm hues of orange . . . the shadows of a building, cool with blue . . . a panoramic landscape against a bright blue sky. The Color Matrix Meter is even able to tell when tungsten or fluorescent lighting is used. The F5's database stores more than 30,000 scenes from actual shooting experience. The algorithms were not made in the laboratory, but in the field-- on professional shooting assignments. The 3D Color Matrix Meter evaluates scene brightness, contrast, selected focus area, distance information and color. Then, the powerful microcomputer and database take over, guiding the way to unequalled exposure control. The result is automatic exposure control that will never cease to astonish you.
meter's sensing area changes to correspond with your manually selected focus area, providing perfect synergy with individual control.
P/S/A/M Exposure Modes
Programmed Auto [P] mode automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture. Flexible Program instantly chooses a correct alternate exposure setting when you shift the shutter speed/aperture combination. Shutter-Priority Auto [S] offers you a choice of speeds from 1/8000 to 30 seconds. Aperture-Priority Auto [A] allows you to choose from the complete range of available apertures in 1/3 increments. And Manual [M] gives you full control over all settings. Lock Control ensures that your settings will never change inadvertently. Selections and exposure status are shown in the viewfinder's display.
A masterpiece of speed and accuracy
High-Speed Autofocus
The F5's sophisticated, highly integrated system of microelectronics and mechanical components ensures reliable, ultrafast operation. Microcomputers instantaneously process data as your subject quickly moves around a scene. Coreless motors drive the lens in mere milliseconds, opening the shutter and advancing the film as you shoot with autofocusing at continuous speeds up to 8 fps with optional Ni-MH Battery Unit MN-30.
Fast, Powerful Autofocus Motor
The F5 incorporates a powerful, hightorque coreless motor system to drive each AF Nikkor lens--a motor so strong and fast that photographers notice a significant increase in speed even with older AF Nikkor lenses. And while providing full compatibility with the exclusive Nikon AF motor design, the F5 also offers compatibility with Nikon's AF-S Nikkor optics that incorporate Silent Wave Motors in each lens for enhanced AF performance. Fast, accurate autofocus is at the heart of F5 operation.
Flexible exposure control with intelligent light meter
w Flexible Center-Weighted Metering
The F5 includes Nikon's classic CenterWeighted Meter, which concentrates 75% of its sensitivity within a 12mm circle, 25% in the peripheral area. It's the classic meter for shooting portraits or just taking personal control. But if the subject is too small, too near or too far, the 12mm circle may not be the size you need. Introducing the world's first Flexible Center-Weighted Meter. At Custom Setting #14, you're able to change the size of the sensing area to 8mm, 15mm, 20mm, or a simple averaging meter, to match the size and distance of the subject.
Exposure Compensation/ AE Bracketing
The F5 allows you to manually control exposure compensation from +5 EV to -5 EV in 1/3 EV steps. Automatic Bracketing is built-in and 8mm-dia. enables you to take two or three consecutive pictures of the same scene with changing EV values 12mm-dia. in increments of 1/3, 2/3 or 1 EV. At Custom Setting #3, you can select the order of the com15mm-dia. pensation, and your choice will be shown in the rear LCD panel's bargraph.
20mm-dia.
Dynamic AF Operation
With this mode, you select the priority focus area that suits your composition, then aim the selected area at the subject and shoot. If the subject moves off the selected focus area, Dynamic AF instantly shifts to another of the five areas to keep the subject in focus. Never limited to a bulls-eye composition, you're free to compose creatively as the scene requires. It allows you to follow moving subjects--or subjects that change speed and move at an angle toward you. Even if another subject momentarily blocks
AF Start button
When you want to separate AF operation from the shutter release button, use the F5's AF start buttons--one for horizontal handling, another for vertical. At Custom Setting #4, you can use the shutter release button exclusively for releasing the shutter, the AF start button for activating autofocus. It's perfect for sports and other fast-action shooting because it enables you to concentrate solely on shutter release timing. It offers superb personal control, too, and enables automatic shooting with a high degree of versatility.

3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
Another Nikon exclusive, this system has been widely celebrated since it was first introduced. And now, with the F5's advanced capabilities, it's even more powerful. The five-segment TTL Multi Sensor precisely monitors flash output. Imperceptible Monitor Pre-flashes from a Nikon Speedlight, such as the SB-800, SB-600 or SB-27, and distance information from a D-/G-type Nikkor lenses overcome exposure failures associated with highly reflective surfaces, distant backgrounds and outdoor fill-flash. Use the power of the F5's fill-flash together with highly automatic exposure control, or control exposures manually. Either way, you get the proven performance of Nikon's exclusive 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash.
Tough, Durable Body Construction
Extremely strong, the F5 is built to take "the world's worst assignments." The chassis, top shoulders, bottom and front-grip covers are molded from tough aluminum alloy, providing the strength and rigidity needed to maintain ultra-precise alignment. The viewfinder's top cover is made of titanium for extra impact resistance. Rubber surfaces cover strategic areas, textured for a secure grip and to provide a buffer against the environment and any impacts. The F5's design has been rigorously tested to resist moisture, dust, vibrations and extremes of temperature--and ensure reliable performance under the most demanding professional conditions. Nikon's engineers envisioned how you will use it, then put it through the paces of real-life testing to ensure exceptional reliability in actual use.
