The Nikonos-V is
the
world's
only
3Smm
underwater
camera capable of going to a depth of SOm (160 feet)
and withstanding pressure of 6kg/cm' (8Slb/in')
without a
special
underwater housing.
Because
of its
ruggedness, you can use the
Nikonos
in
situations
where regular cameras would dare not go. Carry
it
to
the
beach,
use
it
on your boat, even take
it
mountain
climbing or go skiing.
The
Nikonos-V's
automatic aperture-priority and
manual exposure controls make picture-taking both
above and below water easier than ever.
For
extra
precision,
shutter
speeds are quartz-controlled
in
the
manual mode.
The Nikonos-V
also makes flash pho-
tography easier
than
ever. Combine
it
with the
SB-103
or SB-102 for both
underwater
and on-land photogra-
phy
and
enjoy
the benefits of
automatic
TTL
flash
exposure control.
Other Nikon
accessories allow
TTL
multiple flash photography.
Six interchangeable
lenses
from
super-wideang
le
to
medium
telephoto
are also
available:
the
UW-Nikkor
1Smm f/2.8N,
UW-Nikkor
20mm f/2.8,
UW-Nikkor
28mm f/3.S-all for underwater use only
;
the W-
Nikkor
3Smm f/2.S and Nikkor
80mm
f
/4,
for
both
underwater and on-land use; and the water-resistant
LW-Nikkor
28mm
f/2.8
,
for on-land use only.
The Nikonos-V
has a large, high-eyepoint viewfinder
that
lets
you see the entire field of view from up to
40mm away while wearing a diver
's
mask or goggles.

A
new
camera back
lock system
eliminates the possi-
bility of the camera back opening accidently. And a
large
shutter release button and film advance lever
allow you to operate the
Nikonos-V
in the
same
manner
as
a
regular
3Smm
camera.
Even
though this camera
is
very easy to use, you
should
still familiarize yourself with the
prepa
ratory
steps
and basic operations explained in
the first
two
sections
of this
manual.
For more detailed
informa-
tion, refer to
"CONTROLS
IN
DETAIL"
and
"
TIPS
ON
UNDERWATER
PHOTOGRAPHY."
A
few
minutes
wisely
invested
now will payoff later in years of
rewarding
photographic experiences.
