The F-401/N4004 in the USA is a entry level 35mm auto focus SLR camera manufactured by Nikon in 1987. This camera followed the introduction of Autofocus in the F501/N2020 a few years before, with improved AF sensor and a new body style. The camera was the 1st Nikon SLR to have a built in flash, and had the battery compartment in the grip. The control layout is also different form the previous cameras, with both speed (front dial) and f-stop control on the body (rear dial)
In 1989, another revision with an improve focusing module AM200 was available called F-401S or N4004S in USA was introduced. And in 1991 another revision became available called F-401X or N5005 in the USA. This revision has extended shutter speeds for up to 30 seconds of exposure but still tops out at 1/2000 of a sec. The cameras are powered by 4x AA batteries.
The F-401 stayed as the entry level camera for several years, with the F-601 as intermediate, the F-801 as advanced amateur and the F4 as the professional SLRs by 1989.
