Unlike the Nikon F5 the Nikon F6 supports matrix metering in "A" and "M" mode with Nikon Ai and AiS manual focus lenses and therefore works with almost any Nikon F-mount lens manufactured since 1977. Therefore it is compatible with the latest generation of Nikon flashes, including the Nikon SB-900. This is the only Nikon 35 mm film camera which features the iTTL OTF flash system. One especially nice feature is the replacement of the removable covers for the PC-sync and 10-pin connectors (which were easily lost) with permanently fixed rubber covers.

Unlike all previous F-series models, it does not feature an interchangeable viewfinder system. The camera body was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed all Nikon F bodies since the Nikon F3. ![]() ![]() Due to the overwhelming use of digital technology by professional photographers, it is probably the last 35 mm film F-series camera. The Nikon F6 replaced the Nikon F5 as the professional grade film SLR in 2004.
