This
eBook is the definitive
N65 and F65 instruction guide.
This eBook
helps you master the use of the N65 (also covers the F65, N65QD and F65QD
models), with a full description of the camera features and lots of useful
tips and background information. This is the work that should have been
the manual! A must-read for any N65 user.
- Nikon
metering and autofocus modes explained in plain English! Wonder
what the matrix metering pattern looks like and how it 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
N65 explains these terms and accompanying techniques in the same
simple, no-nonsense language that made his Nikon
Field Guide a best seller.
- Learn
new tricks! Did you know that you can use the internal flash at
dedicated fill levels, even though the camera doesn't have built-in
flash exposure compensation? The book fully explains this and many,
many more tips that aren't even touched upon in the original Nikon manuals.
- Includes
laminated field reference cards and three useful spreadsheets! You'll
also receive Thom's laminated N65 reference card set, which includes
The Big Chart in a convenient postcard size and the detailed
N65 flash card, which includes fill flash info, guide numbers, shutter
speed settings, and important flash facts. But that's not everything!
You'll also get Excel workbooks for macro, flash, and lens calculators
(know how to calculate the GN of multiple flashes or the effective GN
when bouncing the flash off the ceiling? You will if buy this book!).

Published by byThom Press. This eBook is mailed
to you in CD-ROM form (Priority Mail in US, airmail outside the US), and
is in Adobe Acrobat 4.0 format (I'd love to provide a downloadable version,
but it's not practical at this time; besides, it's hard to email laminated
reference cards!). The eBook is cross referenced with full bookmarks
for the complete Table of Contents and live URLs for all Web references.
You may print a copy of the book for your own personal use, or add your
own comments and annotations.

Please note
that when I'm out teaching workshops, I have no way to check for orders
sent this way, so in some cases there can be a two-week delay. I'm teaching
fewer workshops in 2003, so this will
be less of a problem than usual, though.
