READY-LIGHT

FINDER ILLUMINATOR

The camera’s Photomic finder has a ready-light built in

for use with Nikon Speedlight Units. This unique feature

provides for greater ease of operation during flash photo

graphy, as the photographer need not remove his eye

from the eyepiece to check if the Speedlight unit is ready

for the next exposure; this built-in lamp lets the photo

grapher know the condition of the flash (either “ready”

when on, or “not ready” when off) at all times even

while viewing. (For additional information, see the in

struction manual supplied with the Speedlight.)

When shooting under low-light levels, the finder’s shut

ter speed and aperture indicators (located just below the

viewfinder image) often are difficult to read. To solve

this problem, the Photomic finder is fitted with a finder

illuminator. To operate, slide the illuminator switch at

the top of the finder toward the rear of the camera; with

this action, the shutter speed and aperture settings will

glow red.
