You can also set it to fire only when your subject moves into focus. Yes, the 90 can fire two frames a second or four, if you wish. If you put the AF into tracking mode and rapidly fire several frames, you cannot miss getting a razor-sharp frame.
It actually takes into account the speed of the subject and anticipates where the subject will be when the shutter opens. Use the camera and leave the meter at home.Īutofocus will track subjects moving toward or away from you.
If you like to spot-meter a scene and decide on the exposure itself, the 90 will spot-meter in any mode. Except in very difficult circumstances, the matrix metering is dead-on. When I get negatives back from the lab, I hold them up to see if they are evenly dense. All the dedicated flash guns for the 90, including the low-cost SB-23, will emit a beam of almost infrared light so the camera can focus in the dark or near dark. The 90 synchronizes with flash all the way up to 1/250, which gives you a lot of choices in even Manual mode. You can also slow-sync the flash when you want to retain background details indoors and you can use rear-curtain flash to give natural-looking blurs when you drag the shutter. The results look natural, which is quite a trick. The 90 is especially effective a providing fill-flash in outdoor light. You can put an inexpensive SB-23 gun on it, put the camera in Program mode, and flash away in the confidence of getting superb results. I am most impressed by the 90's flash capacities. With Nikon's AF "D" lenses, you can exploit the 90 to its fullest. You don't lose matrix metering by doing this, and you don't lose all the functions of autofocus. If you have a backlog of Nikon MF lenses, you can use them on the 90 in Aperture-priority and Manual modes. The base steadies the camera and also gives you a vertical-release button. It cost over a thousand dollars in the 1990s now you can get a hardly used example for around fifty dollars! If you like a hefty camera, you can add a special base to the 90. You can add more features by adding a special back but that would complicate unnecessarily an easy to use machine.
It has fast autofocus, matrix metering, rapid motor drive, and top-level flash capabilities. You can get more bells and whistles on an F100 or F5 or F6 but all you really need is on the 90. The Nikon N90S/F90X is as advanced as any film camera needs to be.
