Nikon F4S

Máy rất đẹp, hơn mô tả, cho người sưu tầm...và chụp.

Styling and Industrial Design: Giugiaro.

AF: One zone. Continuous and single modes. Dedicated, very easy to use and feel AF Lock button.

Power: AA cells. F4: 4 cells. F4s: 6 cells. F4e: 8 cells. I use alkalines. Throw-away lithium wasnt invented back when the F4s was hot, so Nikon has never researched compatibility, which is why Nikon cant recommend them. Many people use throw-away lithium AAs in both F4 (4 cells) and F4s (6 cells) and they work great.

Weight: F4 and MB-20 small grip: 42.370 oz. (1,201.2 g), measured with 4 alkaline AA cells with strap lugs, but no strap, no lens and no body cap.

Introduction: Nikon introduced the F4 at a world press conference on September 8th, 1988. It addressed rumors about the F4 at its April 12th, 1988 press conference, at which it said that, yes, the F4 was coming later in 1988 and that the F3 would continue to be manufactured, but said nothing more at the April 1988 press conference. As a weird coincidence, also at the April conference Nikon announced that it would introduce its first still video camera for photojournalists later in 1988, and did so at the September conference. Still video is what we called electronic imaging back then, which of course grew into the digital photography we all know today.

Available new: Production stopped in 1997, and they were available new through summer 2000.

Date Codes: The first F4 started at serial number 2,100,000 in September 1988. Nikon made about 5,000 a month. My serial number starts off as 2,268, which puts it at about June or July 1991.
