Motor Drive MD·12

The use of the MO-12 motor drive unit with the FM2 enables automatic film advance when the unit'strigger button is pressed. In addition to single -frame shooting, continuous firing at the maximum rate of 3.2 frames per second is possible (i.e., when the shutter speed set is between 1/125 and 1/4000 sec.). The motor drive unit proves very convenient when shooting fast- moving subjects since the photographer does not have to wind film manually or take his eye off the viewfinder.

The MO-12 can be mounted onto the FM2 by simply inserting and tightening its built-in screw into the tripod socket @ at the base of the camera body. Note that lightly pressing the MO-12's trigger activates the FM2's exposure meter.
