Details

The Nikon F-401 AF was Nikon's first SLR camera with a built-in TTL flash and was introduced internationally in 1987 as an affordable entry-level camera for novice photographers to Nikon's Autofocus Camera System. As the AF sensor an AF AM200 module was used in which Nikon stopped the "Image Master Control" software to control AE and AF functions. The following automatic functions are therefore available on the F-401: Programmed Auto Exposure (A / S), Auto Exposure with Shutter Priority (S), Auto Exposure with Aperture Priority (A). In addition to these automatic settings, the exposure can also be set manually. The built-in TTL flash also has many automatic functions, too many to mention here. The camera uses 4 AA penlight batteries. The viewfinder shows information about focusing, under- or overexposure and flash ready. The F-401 does not have exposure compensation and the ability to manually set the film sensitivity. (DX code only). The main drawback of the F-401 AF is the slow autofocus focus.
