| Shutter: | Electronically controlled vertical-travel, metal focal plane shutter
with titanium curtains |
| Shutter speeds: | Stepless speeds from 8 to 1/4000 sec. on A (Auto) mode; 16
speeds quartz-controlled from 8 to 1/4000 sec. on manual; mechanically
controlled, 1/250 sec. at M250 setting and long exposure at B
setting |
| Viewfinder: | Fixed eyelevel pentaprism type; 0.86X magnification with 50mm lens
set at infinity; 93 % frame coverage |
| Viewfinder display: | Shutter speed, aperture f-number (ADR), exposure compensa-
tion mark (a red led), meter needle, shutter speed needle (these two
needles are on the left side of the finder, the meter will stay on for
approx. 16 sec after depressing the shutter release half way) |
| Focusing screen: | K2 (standard), B2 and E2 available. |
| Self-timer: | Quartz-timed approx. 10 sec. delayed exposure;
setting "cancellable" (and just like said Douglas in a last post, this is
the "mirror lock-up" !) |
| Memory lock: | Exposition lock via the self-timer lever (push toward the body) |
| Multiple exposure: | provided via lever near the shutter knob
(the counter does not advance, you must pull the lever each time because
it return in "normal mode" after the shot, I saw some critics about this
lever saying that you must pull the lever while cranking the film advance
lever all the way but that is not true...it works like a charm) |
| Depth-of-field preview: | provided via lever |
| Flash synchro: | 1/250 sec. on A and M250, will fire at max
1/250 on manual with shutter speed from 1/500 to 1/4000 (with dedicated
flash), TTL control of flash exposure via one SPD (usable film speed in
that case is ASA/ISO 25 to 400),ready-light inside the viewfinder (this
red led is also blinking for insuficient flash output but that feature
does not work with my non-Nikon dedicated flash), sync terminal also
provided. |
| Exposure metering: | usual Nikon center-weighted 60/40 via 2 SPD. |
| Metering range: | EV 1 to EV 18 at ASA/ISO 100 with f/1.4 lens |
| Exposure compensation dial: | +/- 2 EV in one-third increments |
| Film speed range: | ASA/ISO 12 to 4000 |
| Film winding: | 135 deg. winding angle and 30 deg. standoff angle (when the lever
is close to the body, the shutter button is locked), optionnal MD-12
motor drive unit (I do not have this one) |
| Camera back: | removable (Data Back MF-16, I also do not have this one but it is
far from the one for the N90s !!) |

LR-44 alkaline-manganese (the 3V lithium last for ever) |

very rare) |
