Nikon F4
The Nikon F4, introduced in 1988, marked Nikon's transition into the autofocus era while maintaining full compatibility with manual focus lenses. This professional 35mm SLR was the first Nikon to feature built-in autofocus, sophisticated matrix metering, and comprehensive exposure modes including program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and manual. The F4's weather-sealed magnesium alloy body housed advanced electronics while preserving the rugged reliability expected from professional Nikon cameras. Key features included a bright pentaprism viewfinder, extensive custom function controls, and compatibility with the MB-20/21 battery packs for extended shooting. The F4 successfully bridged the gap between mechanical and electronic camera design, offering professional photographers the benefits of autofocus technology without sacrificing the manual control and build quality that defined the F-series legacy.
