Nikon engineers
demonstrated what applied advanced ergonomics is all about
when producing the F4. Human engineering at work for easier,
faster, practical and logical handling.
When
the camera is gripped, the hand does not have to search
for controls like the Auto Exposure Lock or the Autofocus
Lock or even the DOF preview button and Mirror Lock. It
is all within natural reach. The same goes for the
shutter, exposure compensation and shooting mode. Plus,
the eye does not have to leave the viewfinder to change
any of the settings. |
