- Nikon
metering and autofocus modes explained in plain English! Wonder
how the color CCD-based metering pattern works? Can't figure out
Dynamic autofocus, Release Priority, Focus Priority, Closest Focus
Priority, and a host of other terms used to describe features
of the focusing system? Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the
Nikon F5 explains these terms and accompanying techniques
in the same simple, no-nonsense language that made his Nikon
Field Guide a best seller.
Bonus: did you know that the F5 has a secret autofocus setting
that works wonders in low light? You'll need Photo Secretary to
unlock this function, but it's there, and this eBook describes
how.
- F5
Accessories, software, options, and even revisions are described.
Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon F5 manages to
not only fully describe every feature of the F5 in clear, easy-to-understand
language, but gives you information about all the F5 accessories,
points to third-party products such as the ninth-battery adapter,
completely covers Photo Secretary, and even briefly describes
the four modest changes Nikon has made to the camera along the
way.
Bonus: this eBook contains full (and clear) instructions on how
to use the MF-28 data back. And this book is the only place you'll
actually find clear, complete descriptions of the custom settings
supported by Photo Secretary.
- Includes
useful Depth of Field spreadsheet! On the disc is Thom's Excel
spreadsheet, which allows you to calculate depth of field and
hyperfocal distance for any Nikon lens used with the F5.
Bonus: You'll also get Excel workbooks for macro and flash (know
how to calculate the GN of multiple flashes or the effective GN
when bouncing? You will if buy this eBook!).
Did
you know?
- The
F5 is the only current Nikon body in which you can control the
lower limit for shutter speeds with flash?
- Photo
Secretary for the F5 works just fine on Windows XP (but you need
a traditional 9-pin serial port)?
- That
you can use pre-AI lenses on the F5 (after a Nikon service center
modification)?
- You
can download shooting data from the camera (requires Photo Secretary)?
You
will know all those things and much, much more once you read this
eBook!

"Demystifies
the complexities of Nikon's greatest pro camera. The explanation

--Dr. Steven J. Schiff
"A
very comprehensive and useful tool for F5 shooters." --
