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 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 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.
