Nikon 1666 Instruction Manual - Page 2

Getting Started Thank you for purchasing this Nikon FM3A camera. Please read this instruction manual carefully for complete details on getting the most from your Nikon FM3A. Your new Nikon FM3A features a Manual Exposure mode for total control of exposure, as well as a semi-automatic Aperture-Priority Exposure mode. Aperture Priority mode lets you adjust the aperture for the desired depth of field while the shutter speed is automatically adjusted accordingly. The FM3A incorporates a special hybrid shutter mechanism that offers the advantages of a mechanical focal plane shutter for use during manual operation, as well as an electronically controlled focal plane shutter for use during Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure operation. Even when the FM3A's battery power is fully exhausted, all shutter speeds remain functional in Manual Exposure mode. The FM3A features a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 sec., a flash sync speed of 1/250, multiple exposure control, interchangeable focusing screens, and the ability to use the MD-12 Motor Drive for high speed sequence photography. The Nikon FM3A's flash system offers TTL control in both Manual Exposure mode and Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure mode, and includes a flash compensation button that provides a natural looking flash result. We hope you enjoy using your new Nikon FM3A camera, and would like to thank you for choosing Nikon.
