Eyepiece shutter lever @

When it's impossible to keep your eye at the viewfinder (such as when utilizing the self-timer), you should use the eyepiece shutter. This shutter prevents stray light from entering the eyepiece and adversely affecting the auto- matic exposure meter reading . Just push the lever to the left to close the shutter. As a visual reminder that it's in use, the blind is painted red.

Accessory shoe @

Located at the base of the rewind knob, the accessory shoe allows direct mounting of the Nikon SB-12 Speed- 29 light. Three electrical contacts @ provide for synchro- nization of the flash unit, automatic through -the-lens flash output control, and ready-light indication in the camera's viewfinder (via an LED), plus auto switching to the pro-

per synchronization speed of 1/80 sec. Two flash coupling adapters are available allowing either IS0- or Nikon F2- type direct-mounting electronic flash units to be attached.
