Optional Accessories
A variety of optional accessories, including power source and Speedlight
is available for the F65/F65D.
Battery Pack MB-17
• With Battery Pack MB-17, four 1.5V AA-type alkaline-manganese, lithium, NiCd
or Ni-MH batteries can be used to power the F65/F65D. When AA-type lithium
batteries are used, the usable number of film rolls increases and stable
performance is maintained at low temperatures. (Film advance speed in
g
Sports Continuous mode remains the same [as that of batteries installed only in
the camera body] with the MB-17.)
Remote Control Unit ML-L3
• Remote control releases the camera’s shutter from a distance. As with self-timer
operation, the remote control can also be used when you want to be in the
photograph. You can also use the remote control instead of a cable release to
reduce camera shake.
Eyepiece correction lenses
• Eyepiece correction lenses enable near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust
the eyepiece dioptre to suit their vision, and can be attached easily by inserting
onto the viewfinder eyepiece. Nine optional eyepiece correction lenses provide
viewfinder dioptre settings of –5, –4, –3, –2, 0, +0.5, +1, +2 and +3m
–1
(combined
dioptre with setting on camera body). We recommend that you actually look
through the viewfinder with various correction lenses attached before making a
purchase, since viewfinder dioptre differs from one person to another. Use the
optional eyepiece correction lens when you need eyepiece correction over –1.5 to
+0.8m
–1
that can be adjusted using the F65/F65D’s dioptre adjustment lever.
The rubber eyecup cannot be used together with the eyepiece correction lenses.
Lenses
• A wide variety of AF lenses — 14mm to 600mm wideangle, telephoto, zoom,
Micro or DC (Defocus image Control) — is available for the F65/F65D.
Filters
• Nikon filters can be divided into three types: screw-in, drop-in and rear-
interchange. With the F65/F65D, the filter factor need not be considered except
for the R60 filter. Compensate ex1 EV when using the R60.
Note that when special filters available from manufacturers other than Nikon are
used, autofocus or the electronic rangefinder may not operate properly.
• Use circular-polarising filter C-PL instead of polarising filter Polar. The linear
polarising filter cannot be used with the F65/F65D.
• Use NC filter when using the filter to protect the lens.
• Moiré may occur when shooting a subject against bright light or if a bright light
source is in the frame. In this case, remove the filter before shooting.
Speedlight SB-28/SB-27
• Speedlight SB-28/SB-27 normally uses four AA-type alkaline-manganese
batteries with a guide number of 36 (SB-28) and 30 (SB-27) (manual flash, 35mm
zoom-head position, ISO 100, m, 20°C). Optional external power source SD-7
and SD-8A or Power Bracket SK-6 (SB-28 only) can also be used.
• Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash, which enables natural-looking overall exposures and a
better balance between ambient light and the fill-flash is compatible with the
SB-28/SB-27. Also, the AF-Assist Illuminator enables autofocus operation in a
dark environment.
• Automatic power zoom continuously changes the zoom-head position according
to the lens' focal length. Also, a variety of flashes, including Slow Sync, Rear-
Curtain Sync, non-TTL Auto Flash or manual flash is compatible with the SB-28/
SB-27. With the SB-28, Repeating Flash is also available.
Wireless Slave Flash Controller SU-4
• TTL multi-flash, where a Speedlight to which Wireless Slave Flash Controller SU-4
is attached is fired simultaneously with the built-in Speedlight or optional
Speedlight attached to the F65/F65D, can also be used. Both Diffuser SG-1 and
SG-2 can be used.
Soft case (CF-61)
• Camera case CF-61 is available for this camera. The camera body fits inside the
case with AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D IF or smaller lens attached.
Neckstraps/Handstrap AH-4
• Braid-type AN-4B (black) and AN-4Y (yellow), wide braid-type
AN-6Y (yellow) and AN-6W (burgundy) neckstraps are available.
• Handstrap AH-4 helps you hold the camera firmly and easily, and shoot in quick-
motion.
