The Optics

Nikon F-mount

Nikon’s legendary lens mount compatibility allows you to use any NIKKOR lens in the incredibly deep, varied line- up. Even with older non-CPU lenses, Color Matrix Metering can still be performed after programming the lens’ focal length and maximum aperture in the camera’s memory. The F6 can store this data for as many as ten non-CPU lenses at a time.

Nikon’s exclusive lens technologies

Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) delivers fabulous contrast and color rendition. Chromatic aberration is mini- mized by Extra-low Dispersion (ED) and new Super ED glass elements. Nikon’s own Close-Range Correction (CRC) offers superb quality throughout the zoom range. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) greatly enhances preci- sion and reduces noise in AF operation. And Vibration Reduction (VR) compensates for image blur caused by camera shake.
