Foreword - Nikon F3 High-Eyepoint Instruction Manual

FOREWORD---------
Congratulations! You now own one of the most advanced
and easy-to-use cameras on the market today. With a
wealth of exciting features, the Nikon F3 High-Eyepoint
camera is designed to be as up-to-date as you are in your
approach to photography.
This model of the Nikon F3 features a special eye-level
finder which allows you to see the entire viewfinder
image, including all exposure information, with your
eye located up to 25mm (approx. one inch) away from
the eyepiece. That means if you wear glasses or shoot in
high-glare situations requiring the use of sunglasses,
you can still see everything comfortably without having
to press your glasses tightly against the eyepiece and
risk scratching the delicate lenses or damaging the
frames. And even if you don't wear glasses, the Nikon F3
High-Eyepoint camera is very useful when shooting
candids or sports because you can bring the camera
quickly up to your eye and focus without your eye being
directly behind the eyepiece.
Before actually taking pictures with the F3 High-Eyepoint
camera, you should familiarize yourself with its basic
operation as presented in the first section. For more
detailed explanations and special picture-taking situ-
ations, refer to the second section, "Controls in Detail.

A few minutes wisely invested now will payoff later in
years of rewarding photographic experiences.
