Nikon F-801 - Features

Features

Despite being designated in the number range usually reserved for amateur cameras (indicated by the F- or N prefix), the F-801 was built to a high standard and incorporated a number of 'professional' features:

  • A Depth of Field preview button allows temporary stopping down to the shooting aperture to check DOF.
  • A Multiple Exposure facility allows up to nine shots within one frame.
  • A unique 'two shot' self-timer. This allowed a second shot to be taken by the self-timer a couple of seconds after the first, giving a more 'relaxed' and unposed picture.
  • Fully programmed automatic exposure, Aperture priority, Shutter priority and fully manual exposure control.
  • 30-second to 1/8000-second shutter speed range with bulb mode.
  • Film-speed setting from DX code or by manual override (ISO 6 to 6400).
  • 1/250-sec. flash synchronisation.
  • Evaluative 2D Matrix and 75% Centre-Weighted Average metering modes.
  • Compatibility with the Nikon Multi-Control Back MF-21, allowing freeze-focus, data imprinting, and automatic exposure bracketing.

Famous quotes containing the word features:

    “The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
