Learn how to hold your camera
Grasp the camera handgrip with your
right hand.
Use your left hand to cradle the camera
with the elbow propped against your
body for support,

BEFORE SHOOTING
This
section
shows
you
how
to
prepare
the
camera
for
shooting, e.g., how to mount a lens, install the battery and load
film.
This section is
for
both SIMPLE and ADVANCED modes.
MOUNTING
LENS
1
Remove the camera body cap
and the front and rear lens
caps.
2
Position the lens in the
camera's bayonet mount so
the mounting indices on the lens
and the camera body are aligned.
Twist the lens counterclockwise
until it locks into place.

the LCD panel and E
~ ~
blinks inside viewfi
nd
er.
For using a non-CPU lens,
see page 58.
Usable Lenses
When mounting
lens-
Use CPU lenses (AF Nikkor lenses and AF-S/AF-I/
AI-P lenses). Other Nikon and Nikkor lenses (non-
CPU lenses) can be mounted, but you have
to
use
an external exposure meter, and the only usable
exposure mode is Manual. (See page
58)
.
AF-SIAF-IIAI-P lenses are for manual focus only.
Avoid direct sunlight.
Make sure
the
camera's power is off.
Do
not
touch the lens release button.
7
3
Turn the lens aperture ring to its minimum aperture (the largest
f-
number, marked in orange,
on
AF Nikkor lenses). Then lock the lens
aperture at its minimum setting (see lens instruction manual).
To
re
move
While pressing the lens release
button, turn the lens clockwise.
8
If lens aperture
is
not set
at
its minimum setting
When the camera is powered on with a lens not set at its minimum aperture
setting,
Err
and
~
blink in the LCD panel and
E,.,.

With the
F501F50D,
all aperture setting operations are performed with the
camera's set/adjust buttons. Do not move the lens aperture ring once it
is
set
to
its
smallest aperture (largest f-number).
INSTALLING
BATTERY
1
Make sure the camera's power
is
off, then slide the lock
release on the battery chamber
cover
to
open the chamber.
...
2
Insert a 6V lithium pack with
"+"
and "-" ends positioned
as
shown on the inside
of
the cover.
Close the cover by pushing until it
clicks.
- Use 6V lithium battery pack (2CR5 or DL245 type).
-See
page 62 for "NOTES ON BATTERIES".
J
3
Switch the power ON. Check
the LCD panel
to
see
if
the
frame counter shows "E" or the
frame number appears and
no
battery mark
(~
or = ) appears.
If
~
blinks: Battery
is
nearing
exhaustion. Have a fresh one
ready.
If
Err
and = blink: Battery
is
almost
ex
hausted. Switch power OFF and
replace battery with fresh one.
If
no
indication appears on the
LCD panel: Battery
is
completely
exhausted or improperly installed.
Change the battery.

LOADING
FILM
000000000
1
Slide the camera back lock
release to open the camera
back.
2 Insert film cartridge.
3
Pull the film leader out to the
red index mark.
To
avoid fogging film (especially high-ISO film),
do
not load/unload film
in
direct sunlight.
Usable film speed range for OX-coded film
is
ISO
25
to 5000.
10
Opening/closing the camera back resets the
frame counter to
"E".
4
Make sure the film
is
properly positioned with no slack and the film
perforations engage the sprocket
s.
(See illustration.)
5
Gently close the camera back
until the lock release snaps
close
d.
Film automatically advances to
frame
#l.
If
the frame counter still shows E
(i.e., if the film does not advance
to frame
#1
), with or without
blinking
Err
and
e, the film is
incorrectly positioned. Reload
film.
• You can confinn the film speed
of
installed OX-
coded film. See page 35.
With a non-OX-coded film, film speed must be set
manually. See page 35.
11
SETTING
CAMERA
TO
AUTO
FOCUS
MODE
Autofocus should be used for most picture-taking
situations, including moving subjects. In general, it is
best to leave the focus switch set
to
AF.
For situations where autofocus is not possible,
see page 44.
For manual focusing, see page
45
.
12
Regarding
the
FSO/FSOo's autofocus
feature
Your F501F50o
is
factory-set
to
Single Servo AF
operation. This means that once your subject
is
in
focus, focus remains locked
as
long
as
the
shutter release button
is
lightly pressed. You can
recompose the picture, and the subject will
remain
in
focus, provided you maintain the same
subject-to-camera distance. (See page
41
for
details.)
If
the subject moves, take your finger
off the shutter release button, then lightly press it
again to restart autofocus operation .
• In the ADV ANCED mode,
in
addition
to
Single Servo AF, you can choose Continuous
Servo AF which keeps autofocus operation
going continuously
as
long
as
you keep lightly
pressing the shutter release button. (For detai l
s,
see page 34.) Use Continuous Servo AF for
sports and other action photography.

AVAILABLE
EXPOSURE
MODES
In the Advanced Operation Mode, you can select any
of
four exposure
modes-Programmed
Auto
(P),
Shutter-Priority Auto
(S)
, Aperture-
Priority Auto (A)and Manual
(M).
Programmed Auto Exposure
Mode
In
addition to the four Programs in SIMPLE
mode-
General-Purpose 0 , Landscape a,
Portrait!l
and
Close-Up
«'-four
more Programs are available
in
ADV ANCED mode: Sport
~
,
Silhouette~,
Night
Scene
m and Motion Effect
~.
The
FSOJFSOD
camera's microcomputer automatically
chooses the combination
of
shutter speed and aperture
for a correct exposure.
For features and sample pictures
of
each Program, see
pages
16
to
18.
14
Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure Mode
You manually set the shutter speed and the camera
sets the matching lens aperture. To freeze action, use a
high shutter speed; to create motion effects, choose a
low shutter speed. For more information on Shutter-
Priority Auto, see pages 26
to
29.
Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure
Mode
You manually set the aperture and the camera sets the
appropriate shutter speed. Smaller apertures make the
background and foreground sharper (recommended for
landscape pictures) while larger apertures tend to blur
the background (recommended for portraits).
For more information on Aperture-Priority Auto, see
pages 26 to 29.
Metering System
The Programmed, Aperture-Priority and Shutter-
Priority Auto Exposure modes employ either 3D
Matrix Metering or Advanced Matrix Metering,
depending
on
lens type
in
use.
Manual Exposure
Mode
You select both the shutter speed and aperture. This
mode lets you experiment with and produce different
creative effects (e.g., intentional blur, intentional
under- or overexposure). For more information on
Manual Exposure Mode, see pages 26 to 29.
In
Manual exposure mode, Centre-Weighted
metering
is
used. For details about this metering
system, see page 67.

Silhouette Program
Effective only when the back-
ground is bright and the subject is
in
shadow or comparatively dark.
The result is dramatic with a
wideangle lens-28mm or
wider-
although a telephoto can also be
used. Excellent for sunsets or
pictures
of
people against the sky.
Do not use flash.

Night Scene Program
Use this Program
in
the even

at night.
To
capture the beauty
of
a
night scene in available light, such
as illuminated monument, traffic
lights
or
neon signs, shoot without

is
rather slow, use a

Use this Program to express movement. Stationary subjects will come out
in
sharp images and moving subjects

camera
in
a panning motion.
The
subject will
come
out relatively sharp,
with the background becoming a blurred streak
of
colors and shades.

USING
AE-L
BUTTON
When your subject
is
off-centre or very small against
an extremely bright background, your subject may
come out too dark (underexposed)
in
the picture. Or,
with a background that is too dark, the subject may be
washed out (overexposed).
In
such situations,
to
correctly expose your subject
in
the auto exposure
mode, use the AE-L (Auto Exposure Lock) button.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The thunderbolt symbol
(~)
inside viewfinder will blink if you need
flash
to
take
a picture,
for
example, in dim light. You can then
activate the F50/F50D'S built-in flash and use it. But remember that
you can also use flash
in
bright light to fill
in
shadows with extra light.
This feature, which works with the F50/F50D'S built-in flash or any
dedicated Nikon Speed light,
is
called Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash. It
operates
in
all
the Programmed exposure modes, as well as
in
the
Shutter-Priority
or
Aperture-Priority
Auto
exposure
modes,
automatically assuring a correct and well-balanced exposure of both
the main subject and the background.
In
the Manual exposure mode,
Centre-Weighted Fill-Flash, which uses Centre-Weighted metering to
expose the background, applies.
This section
is
for both SIMPLE and ADVANCED modes.
