F3 Settings???????
I know I need to get a manual, but. When you load film in an F# does
the camera automatically set film speed? When using the Sb-16 does it automatically set it self up? Sync speed etc.... What happens in the view finder? Is there a ready light? Thanks |

There is a manual and lots of information at: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf3ver2/f3manual/index.htm There are some PDF copies of parts of the manual, if you want to print them out. Unfortunately, due to a complaint from NikonUSA distributor, the Photography in Malaysia site had to take down the PDF manual version (maybe we should do a write-in complaint to NikonUSA) . . . . Anyway, here is a link to information about the F3 on Web Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20040102230825/www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/manuals/F3/ This will have to do until NikonUSA pulls their head out of their collective ass on a product they no longer sell. I think Nikon Europe still have a PDF manual for download: http://24.237.160.4/files/photography/Nikon/Manuals/F3Book/ Full Manual, large file size. When using the Sb-16 does it automatically set it self up? Okay, same web site also has information on the SB-16 Speedlight: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf3ver2/flash/sb16ab/manual/index.htm Sync speed etc.... What happens in the view finder? Is there a ready light? Thanks The ready light is at the top of the circle for the viewfinder. Actually, the newer Nikon Speedlights for Autofocus cameras will work through an adapter, and might actually offer more choices, and less weight, than an SB-16. However, if you already have an SB-16, then you have a large and powerful flash unit. Ciao! Gordon Moat A G Studio http://www.allgstudio.com/gallery.html Updated! |
