FOREWORD
Congratulations! You now own the fastest SLR camera on the
market today. With a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 sec.,
you can halt the most fleeting action literally in its tracks.
Complemented by a flash synchronization speed of 1/250 sec.,
the fastest in 35 mm SLR photography, the FE2 makes it easy
to fill in the shadows in strong daylight. These speeds are
made possible by Nikon’s advanced camera technology,
employing lightweight honeycomb-etched, vertical-traveling,
titanium shutter curtains.
In addition to aperture-priority automatic exposure from
1/4000 sec. to 8 sec., the FE2 offers full manual exposure
control with accuracy ensured by digital quartz timing. The
camera also has a battery power-saving feature: a light touch
of the lockable shutter release button activates the meter,
which then automatically switches off 16 seconds later.
Other exciting features include three bright interchangeable
focusing screens, automatic TTL flash photography with a
Nikon dedicated flash unit, plus rapid film advance up to 3.2
frames per second with a motor drive.
To obtain the best results, keep this instruction manual handy
until you’ve become thoroughly familiar with the FE2’s oper
ation. A few minutes wisely invested now will pay off later in
many years of rewarding photographic experiences.
