The F50 features autofocus, [[Through-the-lens|TTL]] light metering and various "programs" (ranging from manual operation to a highly-automated [[Point and shoot camera|point and shoot]] mode). A variant known as the '''F50D / N50D''', which added a date/time-imprinting facility and also panoramic mode. The F50 body was made from polycarbonate and metal, and available in both "champagne silver" and black. It is similar to Nikon's other consumer film SLRs from its era, giving the usual P/S/A/M modes. Notable omissions include depth-of-field preview and any form of remote shutter release

The F50, sold as the N50 in the United States, was an entry-level 35mm film Single-lens reflex camera which was introduced by Nikon in 1994. It was aimed at the lower-end of the amateur autofocus SLR market.

The F50 features autofocus, Through-the-lens light metering and various "programs" (ranging from manual operation to a highly-automated point and shoot mode). A variant known as the F50D / N50D, which added a date/time-imprinting facility and also panoramic mode. The F50 body was made from polycarbonate and metal, and available in both "champagne silver" and black. It is similar to Nikon's other consumer film SLRs from its era, giving the usual P/S/A/M modes. Notable omissions include depth-of-field preview and any form of remote shutter release

The F50 was replaced by the similarly-priced F60/N60 in 1998.
