The Nikon F50, known as the N50 in the United States, is an entry-level 35mm film SLR camera introduced by Nikon in 1994. It features autofocus, Through-the-lens light metering, and various program modes ranging from manual operation to a highly-automated point-and-shoot mode. The F50 body is constructed from polycarbonate and metal, and was available in both "champagne silver" and black. A variant, the F50D/N50D, included a date/time-imprinting facility and a panoramic mode. The camera utilizes a Nikon F mount and an electronically controlled vertical-travel focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1/2000 to 30 seconds. It supports ISO 25 to 5000 for DX coded film and ISO 6 to 6400 for non-DX coded films in Advanced mode. The F50 was replaced by the F60/N60 in 1998.
