Some SLRs offered removable pentaprisms with optional viewfinder capabilities, such as the waist-level finder, the interchangeable sports finders used on the Canon F1 and F1n ; the Nikon F, F2, F3, F4 and F5 ; and the Pentax LX.

Nippon Kōgaku ( now Nikon Corporation ), for example, used titanium foil shutters for several of their flagship SLR cameras, including the Nikon F, F2, and F3.

Common values for field of view crop in DSLRs include 1. 3x for some Canon ( APS-H ) sensors, 1. 5x for Sony APS-C sensors used by Nikon, Pentax and Konica Minolta and for Fujifilm sensors, 1. 6 ( APS-C ) for most Canon sensors, ~ 1. 7x for Sigma's Foveon sensors and 2x for Kodak and Panasonic 4 / 3 " sensors currently used by Olympus and Panasonic.

* A format used in Nikon camera pictures

APS was mainly used for point and shoot amateur cameras, although some SLR systems were also created: Canon EOS IX, Minolta Vectis, Nikon Pronea with Nikon IX lenses.

Nikon developed the IX series of lens that were lighter and had a smaller field of view ( similar to the Nikon DX format used since 2004 ).

This camera was the first SLR system that was adopted and used seriously by the general population of professional photographers, especially by those photographers covering the Vietnam War, and those news photographers utilizing motor-driven Nikon Fs with 250-exposure backs to record the various launches of the space capsules in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs, all in the 1960s.

Instead of the M42 screw mount used by Pentax and other camera manufacturers, Nikon had introduced the three-claw F-mount bayonet lens mount system, which is still current in a more modified form today.

Later research was to vindicate the Muscovite service-books as belonging to a different recension from that which was used by the Greeks at the time of Nikon, and the unrevised Muscovite books were actually older and more venerable than the Greek books, which had undergone several revisions over the centuries and ironically, were newer and contained innovations.

From 1968 on, he used 35mm Nikon cameras and lenses almost exclusively for their portability.

Nikon has opted to use CCDs sourced from Sony in most of their low and mid range cameras and used a CMOS sensor in the flagship D2Xs / D2x.

Additionally, Setzer tunes have been used in commercials, such as " The Man With The Magic Touch " appearing in commercials for Nikon cameras, and " There's A Rainbow ' Round My Shoulder " touting Massachusetts tourism.

In some instances, a high-purity UV grade of fused quartz has been used to make several of the individual uncoated lens elements of special purpose lenses including the Zeiss 105mm f / 4. 3 UV Sonnar, a lens formerly made for the Hasselblad camera, and the Nikon UV-Nikkor 105mm f / 4. 5 ( presently sold as the Nikon PF10545MF-UV ) lens.

It soon became obvious that Nikon had used this reform for the purpose of centralization of the church and strengthening of his own authority.

Microfiber cloths are used to clean photographic lenses as they absorb oily matter without being abrasive or leaving a residue, and are sold by major manufacturers such as Sinar, Nikon and Canon.

* 1 mount lenses for Nikon CX format currently used by Nikon 1 series.

Note: Prior to approximately 1976, most Nikon lenses had a suffix appended directly after the " Nikkor " name that was used to denote the number of optical elements in the lens design.

This lens is no longer manufactured by Nikon, and is used nowadays to produce interactive virtual-reality images such as QuickTime VR and IPIX.

Later, Nikon again pioneered the use of titanium for vertical shutters, using a special honeycomb pattern on the blades to reduce their weight and achieve world-record speeds in 1982 of 1 / 4000 second for non-sync shooting, and 1 / 250 with x-sync.

They ( and the Nikon FA ) all used the superficially similar ( but not identical ) rugged copper aluminium alloy chassis and high-quality Nikon vertical bearing-mounted metal shutter and ball-bearing mounted film advance, but with improved feature levels, minor external controls and cosmetic differences.

For the first time on a Nikon SLR, two of those battery packs also offered an additional vertical shutter release button and grip for using the camera vertically.

The viewfinder also introduced interchangeable focusing screens to the compact F-series: the standard Nikon Type K screen ( 3 mm split image rangefinder and 1 mm microprism collar focusing aids plus 12 mm etched circle indicating the area of the meter centerweighting ) could be replaced by Type B ( central 3 mm focusing spot plus 12 mm etched circle ) and Type E ( Type B plus a grid of 5 horizontal and 3 vertical lines ; called the " architectural screen ") screens.

The stripe first appeared in the Nikon F3 in 1980, and some variation of it has been a design feature of every Nikon autofocus camera since, but on the F-501 the stripe was horizontal rather than vertical for the first time.

After the introduction of the Nikon F, the more expensive rangefinder cameras ( those with focal plane shutters ) became less attractive.

The Nikon FM3A is an interchangeable lens, focal plane shutter, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex ( SLR ) camera.

From its start, Bronica introduced a number of medium format SLRs with focal plane shutter, which used Nikkor lenses from Nikon, until this line was discontinued with the introduction of the SQ.

In addition, with viewfinders with magnifications larger than 0. 8x ( e. g. some Leica cameras, the Epson RD-1 / s, Canon 7, Nikon S, and in particular the Voigtländer Bessa R3A and R3M with their 1: 1 magnification ), photographers can keep both eyes open and effectively see a floating viewfinder frame superimposed on their real world view.

' That tradition was carried all the way through their top line of Nikon cameras until the introduction of the Nikon D1 ( digital ) cameras decades later.

In Germany, for example, the well established Zeiss Ikon camera line saw the " Nikon " name as too similar to their own and Nikon was forced to avoid using " Nikon " in that area.

Because of the immediate appeal, companies like Konica, Canon and Nikon soon produced their own models.

* Low resolution -- it is not known whether the relatively low resolution of the D2H and D2Hs in comparison with other professional cameras of the day is a technological limitation of LBCAST, a business management or marketing decision, or whether it has other causes such as gradual ramping-up of manufacturing capability of a new technology by Nikon, who did not appear previously to have the capacity to have novel sensors manufactured to their specification.

The two photographic giants, Canon and Nikon did not introduce their own SLR cameras until 1959 with the Canonflex and the F-series respectively.

With the support from the Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, Patriarch Nikon began the process of correction of the Russian divine service books in accordance with their modern Greek counterparts and changed some of the rituals ( the two-finger sign of the cross was replaced by the one with three fingers, " hallelujah " was to be pronounced three times instead of two etc .).

Some members of the high-ranking clergy joined the Raskol movement due to their discontent over Nikon ’ s aspirations and the arbitrariness of his church reforms.

The Korean War saw a huge influx of journalists and photographers to the Far East, where they were impressed by lenses from companies such as Nikon and Canon for their Leica rangefinder camera lenses, and also by bodies by these and other companies to supplement and replace the Leica and Contax cameras they were using.

When Pentax and Nikon entered the autofocus segment, both used a similar passive array AF system as Minolta, but retained compatibility with their existing manual-focus K and F mounts respectively.

As of 2009, all of Nikon's Nikon DX format DSLR cameras are produced in Thailand, while their Nikon FX format ( full frame ) cameras ( D700, D3, D3S, D3X, D4 and D800 ) are built in Japan.

Nikon responded to this phenomenon with a revival of their classic FM / FE series design.

( Unlike most other lens makers, Nikon designates its macro lenses as " Micro " because of their original use in making microform.

The Nikon F6 is designed by Nikon and manufactured at their Sendai Plant.

This system can be traced back to the Nikkormat EL ( in the USA / Canada ; Nikomat EL, rest of the world ) of 1972 and continued until 2006 with the Nikon FM3A.
