The operational speed, battery duration and frame rate of the F90X remain identical either with or without the MB-10.Īlong with the MF-26 data back, allowing user to change camera's configuration on demand and without using a PC, it creates a powerful set for film photography. The grip is simply a convenience and handling feature. Plain N90 and F90 models will receive and mount the MB10, but the vertical shutter controls will not work as they lack the necessary internal electrical contacts in the battery chamber.Īs the MB-10 operates from exactly the same 4 "AA" cells as the camera body alone, there is no increase in continuous shooting speed or AF speed as in some cameras such as the F4 / F4S. The MB-10 will fully work only on the F90x and N90s models. The MB-10 added a vertical-grip shutter release and provides a larger grip area which is especially useful when a large lens is attached to the body. The optional MB-10 battery grip which takes 4 AA batteries and which fits on to the base of the camera was also introduced. Nikon N90, F90, N90s and F90x had some accessories that improve the use of this cameras The end result is a hard semi-gloss finish the same as the camera's top plate. The white printed "Vari Program" icons will remain unaffected also. This procedure will remove the rubberised top coating without affecting the surface finish of the underlying plastic or the clear film viewing window. The rubberised coating can however be removed (Once the door has been unclipped and safely removed from the camera body) by rubbing gently with a microfibre towel or similar soaked in plenty of Isopropyl Alcohol. This did not affect the functionality of the back but was a nuisance to users. The rubber around the grip and other parts were not affected. However, many F90 and F90x bodies had problems with the rubberized back, where the rubberized coating would start peeling or turn into a sticky mess.
It was also the first Nikon SLR to interoperate with the first generation of Nikkor lenses featuring internal focusing motor.ĭespite not being intended for the professional market, the Nikon F90 and its upgrade, the F90x, were built to a high standard and were (and are still) used by many professionals. The Nikon F90's autofocus system was driven by a small 'peanut' motor in the camera body that drove the lens via a mechanical link, unlike Canon's autofocus system, which used motors built into each lens. The Nikon F4, the professional model available at the time of the F90's release, had very slow autofocus compared to Canon's autofocus SLRs. It was thus seen by many as a 'stop-gap' measure to prevent the mass migration of many Nikon-using professional photographers to Canon, as Nikon's next fully professional camera, the F5, was some time away from release. At the time of its release it was noted for its fast autofocus speed compared to previous Nikon models, which had lagged behind competitor Canon's. The Nikon F90 (known as the N90 in the United States) is a 35mm SLR camera manufactured between 19 and replaced the earlier Nikon F-801 (N8008 in the U.S.).

Also, the shutter is released without pressing the transmission button when the subject crosses the point between the transmitter and the receiver which manually focuses in advance using the auto trigger function.This article needs additional citations for verification. Since two channels can be selected for signal transmission using the above-mentioned functions, two ML-3 units can be used in the same location, at the same time. The ML-3 also offers a delay mode that releases the shutter release approximately three seconds after you press the transmission button. Changeover from single to continuous shutter release can be accomplished directly from the transmitter and, when set, continuous release is activated by pressing the transmission button. For example, lightly pressing the transmission button turns on the camera’s exposure meter and starts autofocus detection. The ML-3 is designed so the transmission button operates the same way as the shutter release button on the camera. Its maximum effective range is 8m (26.2 ft.). The Nikon ML-3 combines a transmitter and receiver for the remote control of D3Series, D2-Series, D1-Series, D700, D300, D200, D100 + MB-D100, F6, F5, F100, F90X/N90s or F90Series/N90 camera by infrared ray.
