Translate your passion for photography into images that you'll be proud of with the Nikon N80 35mm SLR. It's a camera that inspires confidence because it gives photographers features and technology built from decades of expertise in the professional arena--Razor-sharp autofocus, comprehensive exposure controls and even a built-in Speedlight. The N80 is the Nikon 35mm SLR you've been waiting for.
Field-Proven AF System
The ability to react instinctively is the key to capturing award-winning pictures. Thanks to the N80's 5-Area Autofocus system, you can select the focus mode that best suits the scene and your needs. It features a Multi-Cam 900 Sensor with five focus detection areas for wide coverage in both horizontal and vertical formats. Additional features include Focus Tracking with Lock-On to focus continuously on a moving subject, Vari-Brite Focus Area Display for at-a-glance focus confirmation, and built-in AF-Assist Illuminator so you're never completely in the dark.
Four Exposure Modes for Maximum Control
Programmed Auto Exposure mode (P) provides the quickest and simplest exposure control option because the N80 chooses both shutter speed and aperture. Plus a Flexible Program feature lets you shift the camera-set shutter speed and aperture combination set by the N80. The Shutter Priority Auto Exposure mode (S) is the best choice when you want to stop action in its tracks or intentionally blur movement for creative effect. You set the shutter speed from 30 full seconds to 1/4,000 sec. and the N80's microcomputer automatically selects the correct aperture. Set the N80 for Aperture Priority Auto Exposure (A) when you want to control depth of field. After selecting the aperture, the camera sets the precise shutter speed within its range of 30 to 1/4,000 sec. You can also opt to set the shutter speed and aperture yourself using the N80s Manual mode (M).
Built-in Speedlight Lets You Control the Light
The N80's powerful built-in Speedlight makes it easier for you to explore the creative use of flash photography. Its powerful flash provides wide illumination to cover the field with a 28mm lens. Moreover, this built-in flash offers many of the creative flash photography features and technologies that Nikon photographers have been enjoying with an accessory unit attached to some of our top-of-the-line SLR cameras.
AF Nikkor Lenses
Like all Nikon SLRs, the N80 features the Nikon F-lens mount, which gives photographers access to the cast lineup of Nikkor lenses, including many non-AF Nikkor lenses. When an AF Nikkor lens is attached, the N80 automatically determines which one it is and makes the necessary adjustments for optimal performance.
