Set the F75 Mode Dial to AUTO, look through the viewfinder, compose your shot, press the shutter release, and the F75 handles the rest. That's how simple it is to take Nikon-quality SLR pictures. P, S, A, M modes Auto-Multi Program (P), Shutter-Priority Auto (S), Aperture-Priority Auto (A) and Manual (M) modes give you plenty of precise, versatile exposure control so you can get the result you desire, or experiment as you like. Exposure compensation/Auto Exposure Bracketing Compensate exposure Auto Exposure Bracketing when shooting in complicated lighting situations or experimenting with various exposure settings. Exposure bracketing of three frames at different Metered value exposures is especially useful when shooting with color reversal film. Multiple Exposure Take more than one image on the same frame--it's another way to express yourself creatively, and the results can be wonderful. Shoot with more confidence Operation designed for you to control and relax Easy, ergonomic camera operation The F75 is elegantly simple to use. Its Mode Dial directly accesses your desired exposure mode. To adjust exposure or focus area settings, just use your right thumb to operate Command Dial and Focus Area Selector, even while shooting. illuminated in red when you focus on a dark or poorly lit subject. New OnScreen Battery/ Film indicators appear to warn you when battery power is running low, film is not properly loaded or just a few frames of film remain.

Compose and shoot. It's that simple to take a sharp, well exposed picture every time." Five versatile Vari-Program Modes Five special program modes automatically make exposure and other adjustments according to the situation to help you take more professional-looking pictures. With Portrait mode, a subject will appear in dramatic focus against a blurred background. Landscape mode keeps distant scenes looking as sharp as they do in postcards. Close-Up mode makes subject details stand out in clear relief from their out-of-focus surroundings. Sports mode maintains focus on a moving subject, so you can freeze a moment or, by shooting continuously, a sequence of fast-moving action shots. Night Portrait mode lets you take nighttime flash pictures with beautifully exposed backgrounds. "The F75 makes it so comfortable for me to gain control of the situation. That freedom makes shooting such great fun." Pop-up Auto Speedlight A built-in Speedlight quietly pops up and fires automatically when light is low or subject is backlit in AUTO and Vari-Program modes, and lets you explore how creative flash photography can be. In addition to Auto Flash, you can use Slow Sync-- which uses a slower shutter speed in low light--to bring out background details. Red-Eye Reduction effectively minimizes the appearance of red pupils in your subject's eyes. ­1 EV +1 EV Lets you take Nikon-quality SLR pictures under most shooting conditions. Automatically selects longer shutter speeds to capture background light in nighttime flash pictures. Makes the subject stand out from a blurred background for professional-looking portraiture. Using a wideangle lens, everything in the scene will appear sharp with this mode. Lets you freeze fast-moving action and capture the excitement of the scene. Captures details of tiny subjects and makes them stand out from a blurred background.

In addition, the F75 has three Dynamic AF modes for maintaining focus automatically as the subject moves from a focus area Center-Subject-Priority Dynamic AF is quick and easy to choose. you've selected to another. Closest-Subject-Priority Dynamic AF mode. The focus area with the closest subject is automatically selected, so you 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. Use Focus Area Selector on the camera back to choose a specific focus area when composing your shot. 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 system 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. Expand your vision Nikon system accessories extend your range AF Nikkor lenses The range of Nikkor lenses is extensive: Zoom, Micro, Defocus Control, Perspective Control, Super Wide and Telephoto Nikkor lenses; and AF-S Nikkors with Silent Wave Motors for ultra-quiet, precise operation. Nikon's VR Nikkor lens incorporates a Vibration Reduction System to minimize the image blur which results from camera shake. Each lens provides consistently sharp results in autofocus and manual shooting. D-type and G-type AF Nikkor lenses These lenses enhance your control of exposure by sending subject-to-camera Distance Information to the F75. All compatible with the F75 built-in Speedlight 28mm to 200mm non-zoom CPU Nikkor lenses and AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED lenses can be used without vignetting. With the following lenses, vignetting occurs at the edges of the frame, resulting in underexposure. These lenses are thereby limited in terms of usable focal length and/or shooting distance. AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF: 35mm or longer focal length; and at 35mm, 1.5m (4.9 ft.) or longer shooting distance; at 50mm, 1m (3.3 ft.) or longer shooting distance.

System Accessories For more flash power, add a Nikon SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight. The dedicated MB-18 Battery Pack is equipped with vertical shutter release button and accepts four R6/AA-size batteries. The CF-63 Camera Case can hold an F75 plus AF 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G or smaller lens. And Nikon Film Scanners scan at superior resolution to deliver exceptionally sharp digital images. With the SB-600 tilting flash head, flash light is reflected off a wall to create soft, natural lighting. 300mm or longer telephoto lenses give you power to capture a distant subject up close. With the F75, you can capture a fast-moving subject even in an off-center composition. You can also use Slow Sync Flash technique to shoot a moving subject for dramatic effect. Ultra-wideangle lenses, like the Nikkor 20mm lens, bring greater frame coverage and depth to your pictures. You can intentionally under- or overexpose your pictures to emphasize the mood of the scene. The F75 offers optimum exposure, even for subjects in complex lighting.
