on
Nikon
's
many
years
of
experience
in
the
development
and
advance
of
SLR
autofocus
technology.
The
Nikon
F3AF,
the
first
Nikon
autofocus
SLR,
has
been
highly
appreciated
by
professional
photographers
because
it
ushered
in
the
age
of
state-of-
the-art
autofocus
technology.
The
F3AF
was
followed
by
the
Nikon
N2020
featuring
dual
autofocus
-
Single
-
Servo
and
Continuous
.
Now
there
's
the
Nikon
N4004
with
Decision
Master
System
which
features
the
AM200,
Nikon
's
innovative
autofocus
sensor
that
takes
SLR
autofocus
photography
to
new
heights
in
sensitivity
and
accuracy.

detection
accuracy
in

AM200
with
200
CCDs
-
the
world's
larg-
est
number
(in
AF
SLR):
The
N4004
has
more
CCDs
than
any
other
AF
SLR.
This
as-
sures
that
focusing
is
more
accurate
and
even
minute
patterns
are
detected
.
Slanted
configuration
of
CCDs:
Assures
fast
intersection
of
curves,
horizontals
and
verti-
cals
,
resulting
in
increased
ability
to
focus
even
minute
patterns.

virtually
any

,
with
few
exceptions
(scenes
with

Improved
focusing
stability:
The
N4004
au-
tofocus
motor
surely
and
precisely
stops
at
the
exact
pOint
of

soon
as
the

picks
the

Nikon
succeeded
in
developing
new
