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.
