Motor Drive MD·12 The use of the MO-12 motor drive unit with the FM2 enables automatic film advance when the unit's trigger button is pressed. In addition to single -frame shooting, continuous firing at the maximum rate of 3.2 frames per second is possible (i.e., when the shutter speed set is between 1/125 and 1/4000 sec.). The motor drive unit proves very convenient when shooting fastmoving subjects since the photographer does not have to wind film manually or take his eye off the viewfinder. The MO-12 can be mounted onto the FM2 by simply inserting and tightening its built-in screw into the tripod socket @ at the base of the camera body. Note that lightly pressing the MO-12's trigger activates the FM2's exposure meter. 39
