READY-LIGHT FINDER ILLUMINATOR
The camera’s Photomic finder has a ready-light built in I for
use with Nikon Speedlight Units. This unique feature pro-
vides for greater ease of operation during flash photo|graphy,
as the photographer need not remove his eye from the eye-
piece to check if the Speedlight unit is ready for the next
exposure; this built-in lamp lets the photographer 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 instruction manual supplied with the
Speedlight.)
When shooting under low-light levels, the finder’s shutter
speed indicator (located just below the viewfinder image) is
often 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 setting will glow
red.
