Nikon F65D Optional Accessories, Battery Pack MB-17, Remote Control Unit ML-L3, Lenses, Filters

Optional Accessories

A variety of optional accessories, including power source and Speedlight is available for the F65/F65D.

Battery Pack MB-17

•With Battery Pack MB-17, four 1.5V AA-type alkaline-manganese, lithium, NiCd or Ni-MH batteries can be used to power the F65/F65D. When AA-type lithium

batteries are used, the usable number of film rolls increases and stable performance is maintained at low temperatures. (Film advance speed in g Sports Continuous mode remains the same [as that of batteries installed only in the camera body] with the MB-17.)

Remote Control Unit ML-L3

•Remote control releases the camera’s shutter from a distance. As with self-timer operation, the remote control can also be used when you want to be in the photograph. You can also use the remote control instead of a cable release to reduce camera shake.

Eyepiece correction lenses

•Eyepiece correction lenses enable near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust the eyepiece dioptre to suit their vision, and can be attached easily by inserting onto the viewfinder eyepiece. Nine optional eyepiece correction lenses provide viewfinder dioptre settings of –5, –4, –3, –2, 0, +0.5, +1, +2 and +3m–1(combined dioptre with setting on camera body). We recommend that you actually look through the viewfinder with various correction lenses attached before making a purchase, since viewfinder dioptre differs from one person to another. Use the optional eyepiece correction lens when you need eyepiece correction over –1.5 to +0.8m–1that can be adjusted using the F65/F65D’s dioptre adjustment lever.

The rubber eyecup cannot be used together with the eyepiece correction lenses.

Lenses

•A wide variety of AF lenses — 14mm to 600mm wideangle, telephoto, zoom, Micro or DC (Defocus image Control) — is available for the F65/F65D.

Filters

•Nikon filters can be divided into three types: screw-in, drop-in and rear- interchange. With the F65/F65D, the filter factor need not be considered except for the R60 filter. Compensate exposure +1 EV when using the R60.

Note that when special filters available from manufacturers other than Nikon are used, autofocus or the electronic rangefinder may not operate properly.

•Use circular-polarising filter C-PL instead of polarising filter Polar. The linear polarising filter cannot be used with the F65/F65D.

•Use NC filter when using the filter to protect the lens.

•Moiré may occur when shooting a subject against bright light or if a bright light source is in the frame. In this case, remove the filter before shooting.

Speedlight SB-28/SB-27

•Speedlight SB-28/SB-27 normally uses four AA-type alkaline-manganese batteries with a guide number of 36 (SB-28) and 30 (SB-27) (manual flash, 35mm zoom-head position, ISO 100, m, 20°C). Optional external power source SD-7 and SD-8A or Power Bracket SK-6 (SB-28 only) can also be used.

•Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash, which enables natural-looking overall exposures and a better balance between ambient light and the fill-flash is compatible with the SB-28/SB-27. Also, the AF-Assist Illuminator enables autofocus operation in a dark environment.

•Automatic power zoom continuously changes the zoom-head position according to the lens' focal length. Also, a variety of flashes, including Slow Sync, Rear- Curtain Sync, non-TTL Auto Flash or manual flash is compatible with the SB-28/ SB-27. With the SB-28, Repeating Flash is also available.

Wireless Slave Flash Controller SU-4

•TTL multi-flash, where a Speedlight to which Wireless Slave Flash Controller SU-4 is attached is fired simultaneously with the built-in Speedlight or optional Speedlight attached to the F65/F65D, can also be used. Both Diffuser SG-1 and SG-2 can be used.

Soft case (CF-61)

•Camera case CF-61 is available for this camera. The camera body fits inside the case with AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D IF or smaller lens attached.

Neckstraps/Handstrap AH-4	MISCELLANEOUS
• Braid-type AN-4B (black) and AN-4Y (yellow), wide braid-type

AN-6Y (yellow) and AN-6W (burgundy) neckstraps are available.

• Handstrap AH-4 helps you hold the camera firmly and easily, and shoot in quick- motion.
