Subject to change without notice:

- Fast and precise eye controlled 45-point Area AF system using a 32-bit micro computer and high precision cross-type sensors ensuring off-centre and fast moving subjects are captured clearly and sharply.
- High speed film transport - up to 7 fps with PB-E2 and NP-E2 rechargeable battery pack.
Advanced 21-zone exposure metering offering six different metering modes.
- Professional levels of reliability and performance - dust and moisture protection and 100,000 cycle rotary magnetic shutter (or 2777 rolls of 36 exposure film).
- Eye controlled AF and Multi-spot metering that offers total control over composition and exposure without needing to recompose or take your eye from the viewfinder.
- Depth of field preview to reveals how much of the picture is in focus prior to exposure.
- Six metering modes for complete control - 21-zone Evaluative, 8.5% Partial, 2.4% Centre Spot, 2.4% Focus Point Spot, Multi-spot and Centre-weighted Average.
