Harsh environmental testing

To ensure the high level of durability you expect from a Nikon F series SLR, the F6 has been subjected to rigor- ous testing. Even the lubri- cants applied to gear parts are carefully tested to assure peak performance in extreme temperatures and high humidity. The F6’s astonishing reliability is a

function of Nikon’s “right material for the right place” approach. Our engineers consid- ered countless situations of potential camera use, then submitted the F6

to real-life testing to ensure exceptional dependability wherever and whenever you shoot.

Camera ergonomics

In our quest for new levels of ergonomic achievement,

we’ve left no part of the camera’s exterior ignored. The first time you handle the F6, you’re seduced by the strikingly comfortable, ergonomic design. Every curve, every undu- lation has been accomplished through advanced computer-aided design. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Nikon spent unprecedented amounts of time sculpting the contours of the grip, to ensure greater comfort and balance in the hand even during extended use. The button and dial design and layout are every bit as intelligent as they are attractive.

Unrivaled durability

Imagine, as a photographer, the places or conditions in which you are most concerned about the toughness of your photographic tools. Now look at the F6 — an aluminum- alloy die-cast chassis; magnesium-alloy front

up to 8 fps film advance.

It requires either eight AA-size batteries or the outstanding Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4a (also compatible with the D2 series). The MB-40 offers outstanding vertical shooting operation, as it incorporates a shutter release button, AF Start button, Multi-selector and Command Dials.
