Manual settings is also available at a even wider range, ISO6-6400!. The MF-21 add the following functions to the F-801: data imprinting (including shutter and aperture besides the usual date and time), freeze focus, automatic exposure bracketing up to 19 frames and long exposure! To enable the F-801 to communicate with the MF-21, a row of electronic contacts are placed under the shutter (see photo above).į-801 also offers automatic film speed setting for DX-coded film canisters from ISO25-5000. Beside the advanced features above, the F-801 also offers up to 9 shots/frame of multiple exposures, a 3.3 fps high speed motor-drive and a high eye-point viewfinder which later employed by the pro-level F4.į-801 also has an optional multi-functions data back MF-21 which is considered very high-tech at the time of its introduction. It is worth mentioned that the centre-weighted metering of F-801 is a 75/25 pattern instead of more common 60/40. For non-CPU lens, only centre-weighted metering is available.
When mounted with a CPU lens, F-801 offers both matrix and centre-weighted metering. Exposure controls includes triple modes (high-speed, normal, depth-of-field) programmed auto, shutter-priority, aperture-priority and full manual. Moreover, the F-801 also has a sync speed of 1/250 seconds which is considered to be fast even for today’s DSLRs. It is also Nikon’s first semi-pro AF body and the first SLR camera with a 1/8000 seconds shutter in the world. The Nikon F-801 (N8008 in North America) is Nikon’s third auto-focus SLR with in-body focus motor (F3AF uses in-lens focus motors).
