Indications and battery status
Battery indications and corresponding battery power status are as follows:
• Battery life depends on the battery brand and temperatures. Low battery power
indication Mappears or blinks relatively soon at low temperatures. However,
battery power may recover and the indication returns to when the˜ Nor
temperature returns to normal.
Indications when the camera power is off
When the power switch is turned off (with batteries
installed), only the frame counter is displayed in the top
LCD panel.
For setting language and date, see pages 34 and 35.
• Set language ( 34) for rear LCD panel displays. In addition to English, German,x
Spanish, French, Chinese (simplified) and Japanese are available.
• Set date and time ( 35) for recording/imprinting shooting data ( 112/126) orx x
Interval Timer photography (x140).
20
3. Mounting a Lens
Nikon recommends using a G- or D-type CPU lens to take full
advantage of the features the camera offers.
1Turn the power switch off.
• Turn the power switch off before mounting or
detaching lenses.
2Mount the lens to the camera body.
• Position lens in the camera’s bayonet mount so
that the mounting indexes on the lens and
camera body are aligned, then twist the lens
counterclockwise until it locks into place.
• Be sure not to touch the lens release button.
3Lock aperture at the minimum setting.
• With a CPU Nikkor lens other than G-type, set
the lens to its minimum aperture (smallest
f/stop) and lock. When a CPU Nikkor lens other
than G-type is not set to its smallest aperture
setting and the power switch is turned on, ƒEE
will blink in the top LCD panel and viewfinder
and the shutter cannot be released.
• G-type Nikkor lenses have no aperture ring.
Unlike other CPU Nikkor lenses, aperture does
not need to be set to minimum.
• Turn the power switch off, push and hold the lens
release button , then turn the lens clockwise Å Í.

•Detaching the lens
21
Basic Operation
Attaching/detaching the lens
• Make sure to turn the power switch off before attaching/detaching the lens.
• Avoid direct sunlight when attaching/detaching the lens.
When camera is left unattended without a lens
If you leave the camera unattended without a lens attached, be sure to attach the
supplied body cap ( 4), or optional body cap BF-1A. (BF-1 body cap cannot bex
used.)
For details on lens compatibility, see page 38.
Non-CPU Nikkor lens
With a non-CPU Nikkor lens attached, the aperture indication shows the number of
EV steps from the maximum aperture (e.g. ∂2: two steps from the maximum
aperture). However, by specifying the focal length and maximum aperture using
”specifying lens data“ (x144), functions available with a CPU lens, such as
aperture indication or Color Matrix Metering, can be used. Non-AI lenses cannot be
attached without modification; see page 41 before attaching a non-AI lens.

4. Loading Film and Setting Film Advance Mode
1
Turn the power switch on and lift the film
rewind knob. The camera back will pop
open.
2Insert film and pull film leader out as far as
the red index mark.
• Film cartridge can be loaded smoothly if
inserted from the top.
• Make sure to insert the film cartridge all the
way in.
• Make sure to align the film leader to the red
index mark; if the film leader is not properly
aligned to the index mark (short of or beyond
the mark), film may not load properly.
• Hold the film cartridge down to ensure that the
film is properly positioned with no slack.
3Press the film rewind knob down to its
original position and gently close camera
back until it locks. Film automatically
advances to the first frame.
• When 1 appears on the top LCD panel, the film
has advanced to the first frame.
• If Err and E blink in the top LCD panel and
viewfinder, and “FILM LOAD ERROR” is
displayed in the rear LCD panel, the film is not
properly installed. Open the camera back again
and reload film.
4Set the film advance mode selector to S
(single-frame shooting) while pressing the
film advance mode selector lock release.
23
Basic Operation
Loading/removing film
• When loading film for the first time, remove the shutter
curtain’s protective cover .
• Shutter curtains are very thin. Do not touch the shutter
curtains with your finger or the film leader.
• Avoid direct sunlight when changing film.
Film slack
Do not turn the film rewind crank to reduce film slack, because the tip of the film
may come off and film will not advance properly. It could also damage the shutter
curtain.
DX-coded film
When the camera’s film speed is set to s and
DX-coded film is loaded, film speed will be set
automatically (ISO 25-5000). When a non-DX-
coded film is loaded with the camera film
speed set to blinks in the top LCDs, Err
panel and viewfinder and “DX ERR” is
displayed in the rear LCD panel, and the shutter
locks. In this case, set film speed manually (x44).
You can check the number of available exposures on the film roll through
the film cartridge confirmation window.

Characteristic
Focus is obtained at your selected focus area out
of 11 possible choices.
You designate the primary sensor (the first to
detect the subject), then if the detected subject
moves, Dynamic AF automatically shifts to the
next sensor that detects the subject, following it
by shifting among a progression of sensors as
the subject moves.
A group of neighboring focus areas at the
center, top, bottom, left and right areas of the
frame can be selected. Group Dynamic AF Mode
automatically maintains a focus on the subject
located closest to one of the focus areas within a
group.
Automatically selects one of 11 focus areas in
which the closest subject is located. If the subject
moves from the selected focus area, the camera
will automatically focus on the subject using data
from the other focus areas.
For details regarding focus mode, focus area and AF Area mode, see
pages 48-61.

Shooting situations
Camera controls shutter speed and aperture
automatically, while allowing you to make other
settings, such as Flexible Program ( 64) orx
exposure compensation (x74).
You set your desired shutter speed, and the camera
selects the correct aperture. Allows you to “freeze”
the motion of a moving subject using a fast shutter
speed or blur the subject using a slower speed.
You set the desired aperture, and the camera
selects the correct shutter speed. This lets you
determine the depth of the in-focus area (x164),
so you can choose whether near or distant subjects
are in sharp focus, or whether foreground or
background should be blurred.
Shutter speed and aperture are set manually. Long
Time Exposure (Bulb) can also be selected.
Characteristics of exposure modes
Metering Systems
Since brightness and film sensitivity determine the proper combination of shutter
speed and aperture for correct exposure, measuring subject brightness is very
important.
The F6 provides three metering systems. With Matrix Metering (x62), brightness
data is detected using the 1,005-pixel Matrix sensor. With Center-Weighted Metering
(x63), brightness is detected in the central area of the viewfinder. With Spot
Metering (x63), sensitivity is concentrated in one of the 11 available focus areas.
Exposure
Light from the subject passes through the lens and exposes the film. Shutter speed
and aperture control how much light reaches the film. The correct combination of
shutter speed and aperture results in a correct exposure—a result provided by the
F6’s four exposure modes: Programmed Auto, Shutter-Priority Auto, Aperture-Priority
Auto and Manual.
28
7. Holding the Camera and Focusing
Lightly pressing the shutter release button automatically focuses the
camera on the subject.
1Hold the camera properly.
• Keep your elbow propped against your body
for support.
• Stand with one foot a half step forward
keeping your upper body as still as possible.
• Use your right hand to grasp the camera
handgrip and your left hand to cradle the lens.
2Compose your shot.
• Center the focus brackets on your subject and
lightly press the shutter release button.
• Lightly pressing the shutter release button
automatically focuses the camera on the
subject (focus brackets flicker momentarily) and
when the subject is in focus, / appears in the
viewfinder.
29
Basic Operation
Camera shake
Camera shake is likely to occur when the camera is not held steadily and/or when
using a slow shutter speed. In general, you should set the shutter speed faster than
‘1/focal length of your lens sec. (Example: when using a 50mm lens, set the shutter
speed faster than 1/50 sec.) Use of a tripod or VR lens is recommended for shooting
at slower shutter speeds.
Composing frame
The F6’s viewfinder frame shows approximately 100% of the image actually exposed
on the film frame. Please be aware that most processing labs partially crop the edges
of film.
Focus indications
• Focus indicators appear or blink as follows:
/ appears: Subject is in focus.
< appears: Camera is focused on an area between the camera and the
subject.
> appears: Camera is focused on an area behind the subject.
? blinks: Unable to focus using autofocus.
Diopter adjustment (x81) enables you to see more clearly through the
viewfinder.
To take a picture of a subject outside the focus area use focus lock
(x58).
In situations where autofocus may not work as expected, x60.
Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40
Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40 (optional, x166) features a shutter release button
for shooting in vertical position.
CSM a4: Autofocus detection can be set to start by pressing the AF start
button (rather than lightly pressing the shutter release button) (x95).

8. Confirming Indications in Viewfinder and Releasing the Shutter
Confirm that / (in-focus indicator) appears in the viewfinder, then
slowly, fully depress the shutter release button.
1Confirm indications in the viewfinder while
lightly pressing the shutter release button.
• Shutter speed and aperture are shown in 1/3
EV steps.
• If any warning indications appear in the LCD
panel or viewfinder, see page 65.
2Confirm that focus indicator appears and/
slowly depress the shutter release button.
• After the shutter is released, the film
automatically advances to the next frame and
the next shot can be taken.
31
Basic Operation
For self-timer operation, x82.
For remote control operation, x171.
Focus Tracking
When the focus mode selector is set to Single Servo AF (S) (x48) or Continuous
Servo AF (C) (x48) and the shutter release button is lightly pressed or the AF Start
button ( 49) is continuously pressed, the camera will automatically switch to Focusx
Tracking when a moving subject is detected. Focus Tracking enables the camera to
analyze the speed of the moving subject based on the focus detection data. It also
obtains the correct focus by anticipating the subject’s position—then driving the lens
to that position—at the exact moment of exposure.
• In Single Servo AF, Focus Tracking is activated with a subject that has been moving
in advance to the focus detection, and focus is locked when the subject stops
moving and appears in the viewfinder./
• In Continuous Servo AF, the camera continues to track a subject (even a subject
that began moving during focus detection) and focus is not locked.
Imprinting/recording shooting data
With the F6, date, shutter speed, aperture and lens focal length can be imprinted in
the frame, between the frames or before the first frame on the film roll. (The data
that can be imprinted differs with the position on the film.) The shooting data is also
recorded in the camera‘s built-in memory. For details on data imprinting, see page
126. For details on recording data, see page 112.
CSM b1: Shutter speed and aperture can be changed to display settings in
steps of 1/2 or one EV (x97).

variety of shooting situations.
To select film advance mode, rotate the film
advance mode selector while pressing the film
advance mode selector lock release.
• The following film advance modes are available:
S: Single-frame shooting
Fully depressing the shutter release button takes one picture and automatically
advances the film by one frame.
CL: Continuous low-speed shooting
Shots are taken continuously at approx. 2 fps (approx. 4 fps with Multi Power
Battery Pack MB-40) as long as you keep the shutter release button fully
depressed.
CH: Continuous high-speed shooting
Shots are taken continuously at approx. 5.5 fps (approx. 8 fps with Multi
Power Battery Pack MB-40) as long as you keep the shutter release button fully
depressed.
Cs: Continuous silent-low-speed shooting
Shots are taken continuously at approx. 1 fps (approx. 2 fps with Multi Power
Battery Pack MB-40) as long as you keep the shutter release button fully
depressed. In this mode, film rewind also slows and produces minimal rewind
noise.
V: Self-timer
Use the self-timer when you want to be in the photograph ( 82)x.
M-UP: Mirror up
In a situation such as when you want to minimize camera shake, use mirror up
photography. Press shutter release button once to raise the mirror, and press
again to take photograph ( 84)x.
* Film advance speed is tested using the camera settings of focus mode C, exposure
mode ¢, shutter speed 1/250 sec. or faster, at normal temperature of 20°C (68°F),
with fresh 3V lithium batteries, for the first to 36th frames of a film.
When batteries are exhausted ( appears in the top LCD panel) in S, CMHor
self-timer mode, film advance speed slows down since film advance automatically
switches to start after the camera’s mirror retracts. (Normally, film advance begins
immediately when the mirror starts to retract.) In this case, battery replacement is
recommended.

2 sec. before the shutter is released.
• Self-timer shooting cannot be performed when the
camera’s shutter cannot be released (i.e. when
subject cannot be brought into focus with autofocus
in Single Servo AF).
• To cancel the self-timer, set the film advance mode
selector to a position other than V.
• When buLb is selected in Manual exposure mode,
shutter speed is controlled to approx. 1/10 sec.
Close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter
To ensure correct exposure in exposure modes other than
manual, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter after
focusing. This will prevent light entering via the
viewfinder from interfering with the autoexposure
operation.
