It's all so automatic and easy, you hardly have to think about a thing. Just enjoy capturing the moment! Stays focused at every crucial moment The F65's Focus Tracking with Lock-OnTM feature keeps a moving subject--even as quick and unpredictable as an animal or a child--in clear focus, as long as the shutter release button is pressed. It's foolproof and automatic! Dynamic AF keeps the F65 focused as intended, regardless of position of the subject (in red shirt, below) in the frame, using five AF sensors (centre, top, bottom, right, and left). It takes a smart AF-Assist Illuminator to keep focus on a subject when light is low or you're shooting in total darkness. The F65 keeps your subject looking natural because it doesn't use a harsh pre-flash that can daze or distract your subject. You can select one of Five Focus Areas to activate, according to how you intend to compose the shot. The focus area select button is easy to reach and intuitive to operate without taking your eye off of the viewfinder. Lock-OnTM AF keeps focus firmly on a main subject even if some other object momentarily blocks it in the viewfinder. 5 4 w Expect more from your pictures.

Capturing the mood of the situation 3D Matrix Metering accounts for the entire image to analyse and preserve the special ambience of a scene. The F65 relies on over 30,000 pieces of data in its built-in database referring to every type of shooting situation, in order to capture a particular moment with its mood intact. Exposure control at your command Versatile Vari-Program modes give you all the automatic picture-taking latitude you need. Each of the five modes (s Portrait, d Landscape, f Close-Up, g Sports Continuous and h Night Scene) are specifically geared for optimal results in certain situations. 3D Matrix Metering also reads camera-to-subject Distance Information from D-type and G-type Nikkor lenses. This enhances accuracy for every kind of exposure, from close-ups to distant landscapes. The four exposure modes--Auto-Multi Program (P), Shutter-Priority Auto (S), Aperture-Priority Auto (A), and Manual (M)--offer precise control of shutter speed and aperture setting combinations, for flexibility in getting exactly the results that you want. For shooting with complicated lighting or experimenting with various exposure levels, an exposure compensation button lets you compensate exposure within a range of ±2 EV in 1/2 increments. An electronic depth-of-field preview button lets you confirm the zone of sharpest focus before shooting in any exposure mode.

Night Scene h mode makes it especially to chance. The F65's built-in Speedlight catches the sparkle in those eyes, and Portrait rewarding to catch the sun's slow-burning beauty at the end of a long day--even as it illuminates the down-to-earth details that make the scene really worth remembering. s mode makes her stand out as pretty as a picture right where she deserves to be--at the heart of the action. Enhancing quality of light in a flash Flash isn't just for nighttime shooting. It can enhance the look of daylight and twilight shots. The F65's built-in Speedlight automatically controls flash in order to add just the right light to keep the scene looking natural and create catchlight in a subject's eyes--not wash out the subject's face. (Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash) Combining flash and ambient light enhances detail all around Slow Sync is activated when flash is used in Night Scene mode, automatically slowing the shutter speed to provide enough exposure of background detail, while throwing natural-looking illumination on the foreground subject. A built-in Speedlight quietly pops up and fires automatically when light is low or subject is backlit in AUTO and Vari-Program modes. A Red-Eye Reduction lamp is precision-timed to contract the subject's eye pupils right before shutter release, minimising "red eye" from the final picture. 8 Rear-Curtain Sync fires the flash just before the second (or rear) curtain of the shutter starts to move. The photographic effect is an action-enhancing stream of light trailing the flash-illuminated subject.
