The camera's Photomic finder has a ready-light built in for use with N ikon 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 th is 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.
