The Nikon F-601, otherwise known as the Nikon N6006, is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) film camera that was produced by Nikon starting in 1990.[1] The F601 featured an improved second-generation autofocus system, motor drive for automatic film advance, a built-in pop-up electronic flash, a top shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second, and a new "Matrix" evaluative multi-zone metering program.
The camera includes an integrated motor drive and is also available in a version with a date back, which could be set to print the date and time on the photo film as images were acquired. As a kit, the F601 shipped with a 35-to-70 mm autofocus Nikkor zoom lens. It is compatible with a wide range of Nikon F-mount lenses, including both autofocus and manual focus types. However, Nikon's older, non-AI modified lenses will not mount without modification. Doing so forcefully may damage the indexing pin on the body. Due to a firmware defect, G-type lenses without an aperture ring are compatible (in program and shutter priority modes) only if the aperture ring position sensor is manually actuated to its maximum position, therefore their use is not endorsed by Nikon.[2]
During the 1990s, the F-601 sat between the Nikon F-401 and Nikon F-801s in the company's consumer SLR range.
A version without autofocus or built-in flash was sold as the Nikon F-601M.
