Synopses & Reviews
"Photography for the people" is how the ads read for the NikonF5-the perfect blend of toughness, simple use, and the latest technology. Problem is, F5 has far more features than most owners know what to do with. Chris Weston's years of F5 mastery demystifies the camera's features, translating its technical jargon into terms most photographers already know. Detailed descriptions of functions and features are accompanied by a chart that describes and defines each part. The basic functions of focusing and exposure, including autoexposure, get a complete, photo-filled chapter. So do each of the F5's flashes and lenses, as well as all available accessories. Best of all: you-are-there depictions of outdoor weather challenges and indoor shooting sessions with unpredictable people.

In simple, understandable language, it explains how to make the most of the cross-ranged, 5-area autofocus sensor; color matrix metering; high speed film advance with up to 8 frames per second; the custom settings; and more. Every element and procedure appears in close-up images, whether it's an in-depth look at the viewfinder and command dials or instructions for installing batteries and removing a lens.
