QD and Data Imprint versions The F80 is available in a standard version, and a QD version (F80D) that allows you to print the date or time, and a special QD version (F80S) that also imprints exposure data between frames.*
*The cameras film advance speed slows down when exposure data imprinting is selected.

< = > On-Demand Grid Lines displayed in viewfinder A new Nikon Advanced Focusing Screen Display allows the superimposition of OnDemand Grid Lines. These horizontal and vertical lines assist in determining compositional balance and are also helpful for shooting architectural photography or landscapes that includehorizons.

Infrared film cannot be used with this camera, because the F80 detects the film perforation with an infrared ray. The viewfinder will be dark without battery power but brightens after installation of fresh batteries. This is not a malfunction.
All specifications apply when fresh batteries are used at normal temperature (20C/68F). Specifications and designs are subject to change without any notice or obligation on the part of the manufacturer. December 2005 2000-2005 NIKON CORPORATION

Nikon N80/F80(s) Custom Settings Pocket Card
Since Nikon failed to provide one with the N80/F80s package, I created a pocket card layout with the cameras custom settings Please feel free to copy and distribute this design. I recommend that you print this on a high resolution inkjet or laser printer (a postscript printer will provide the best results), trim along the outside rectangle and laminate the card for field use. Happy shooting, BJ Nicholls bjnicholls@uswest.net
