Nikon f6 flickr
So the only thing I have to do with this body is to set the correct time again after I have recharged the Eneloops and put them back into the MB-40. Because it is really only needed for running the internal clock when no batteries are in the camera. The dead internal clock battery of the one body is a non-issue for me. rolls with one charge, depending on the needed power (AF use, long exposures etc.). They work perfectly, I can highly recommend them (I am using them also in my F90X, F100, F4 and F5 and in all my flashes). And in them Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable batteries. I use both my F6 with a MB-40 vertical grip (each camera has its own). The one with the dead internal clock battery, and one with a fine internal clock battery.īoth have exactly the same (low) power consumption. I also have the permanent direct comparison, because I am using two F6 parallel.
The power consumption is not higher compared to the situation before, when the internal clock battery was fine.
#NIKON F6 FLICKR SERIES#
From this they formed a partnership with Kodak creating a series of early DSLRs aimed again at the photo journalist market. Nikon were also at the forefront of the digital revolution, having modified an F4 to digital for Nasa in the early 90s.
One thing I'll do is remove the batteries overnight to see if the custom menu loses my custom settings (the clock time is certainly lost each time I remove the batteries, but to me, that's rather a minor inconvenience).īy Wednesday, I'll be able to test it at minus 10 degrees celsius, which is the type of temperature I bought it for (I thought the excellent exposure meter would be great for taking photos of snowy landscapes).Ĭlick to expand.I have one. The F line of film cameras continued into the new millennium, right up to the Nikon F6. Later, when I brought it out of the sealed bag, it was still a tad cool and at 2 bars, but ten minutes later, it went back up to the 3 bars. Then, when shooting outdoors (using a fit of AF), and about half way through the roll, the indicator went down to 2 bars, so I finished the roll (the camera re-wound just fine), and brought it indoors (sealed for a couple of hours to avoid condensation). The batteries are at 2.94v.Įarlier today, I left the camera outside for a couple of hours at 0 degrees celsius (actually warmer than when I'll need to be using it in the future). That would have been over about 1.5 days at the most, and also going through about 1.5 rolls of 24 exposures each.Īdded note: OK, now it's back up to 3 bars. Click to expand.It's currently down to 2 bars (ie "begun to decline" as per the manual).
