Nikon F5 Video 2: Batteries, Load Film, Modes, Settings, Take a Photo, and Double Exposures

Рет қаралды 12,556

Күн бұрын

The Nikon F5 was, I think this would be hard to argue against, the most-advanced 35mm film camera ever made in terms of sheer capabilities and system expandability. The F5 represented the most-aspirational and design-unleashed thinking of Nikon's engineers and the result was a classic that also served as the foundation for the Nikon digital SLRs that followed. This video series covers the Nikon F5's features, functions, and uses and covers how to use all the different items on the camera.

In 1996 I was using a Pentax k1000, I always wanted a top of the line film camera. I have many DSLRs, needlessly SLRs have become foreign to me. A week ago I ordered a F5 and just got it today in the mail. I turned it on and drew a blank on how to use it.... long story short, your video series on the F5 is a God send. Thank you for making it, Just like re learning to ride a bike!

You've no idea how useful this series of vids is. Just got an f5 (couldn't pass the chance) and even being accustomed to full manual use of dslr and mirroless it's still a handful of a camera. Thanks for your efforts.

The F5 provides much more capability than nearly any photographer can ever hope to need! Pair it with the MF-28 data back and it does even more! At one time in my life before I jumped to digital I had two F5s, and fed it Kodachrome. Nikon makes some of the best in camera meters. The matrix metering is far better than anything else. I shot my last roll of Kodachrome 25 in my F5AE. These are a bargain for today’s film shooters. And always remember that film is inherently the best archive for photos! Will anyone know what a TIF or a JPEG is in 100 years! But a slide you can look through for a century! Nice thorough summary to help get newer photographers on the right track! Loved my F5s. Only have one now. If we have a zombie apocalypse, this is the camera to use to document it. It is bombproof.

Looks like when I hold the L button in any mode and either spin the shutter or aperture dials, the corresponding setting will lock. Also I had the same issue you did with the dial skipping, I just poured a very tiny amount of isopropyl alcohol (70%) into the dial, spun it a bunch, blew out the remaining alcohol with a rocket blower, and the dials now work good as new. Thanks for making these videos 👍

Thanks! The isopropyl alcohol worked for me, the dials are working as they should again. Of course I did this after I bought another F5 😉

great video as usual, question when you change the focus point can you see the focus point get darker, the outline; I bought one recently and I cannot see the focus points get darker.when they are selected. Thanks

@DavidHancock Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure. I don't recall the focus points getting darker when I used this.

@gman922 Жыл бұрын

the book shows they are suppose to go darker with the standard EC-B focus screen. It has electrical contacts. Page 38 of the manual not definite....I cleaned the contacts on my EC-B focus screen and I do believe the focus points appear to get darker. Thank you.

Interesting. I don't think that was the screen that I had, so yeah, I would not be the best person to ask about that.

@VolodymyrBOBER Жыл бұрын

thank for these videos David. regarding the lock button, it locks as follows: in A mode it locks aperture (to avoid unintentional change by rotating the sub-dial) in S mode it locks shutter speed (to avoid unintentional change by rotating the main-dial) in M mode it locks either one or both of the aperture/shutter speed in P mode it locks nothing of aperture/shutter speed on top of that the L button can lock the focus area selection Could it be that when you tried the lock button the P mode was selected?

Hey Dave, no matter what mode I put my camera in, no numbers ever display by f/aperture, just two dashed lines. Do you know what may be causing this and how to troubleshoot?

@DavidHancock Жыл бұрын

That should mean that the lens is not communicating aperture to the camera. So either the auto-aperture switch is not engaged or the lens or camera contacts are dirty. If you have a second lens to try it with and it still is an issue, then the issue is with the camera. If the second lens works, the issue is with your first lens. If you clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol and there's still an issue, there may be an electronics fault.

Correction to af on, custom setting four not five set to 1 turns off focus from the shutter button and allows back button focus. Hitting back button focus acquires and when released, locks that focus.
