Nikon FE2 35mm SLR Camera Body W/ Titanium Shutter.

Description

The FE2 was intended by Nikon as a quality alternative to the more cheaply built 35 mm amateur SLRs by other manufacturers of the day. It can be described as Nippon Kogaku's Nikon FM2 mechanical (springs, gears, levers) camera with precision electronic controls grafted on.
Type of camera: Electronically controlled 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) focal plane shutter camera
Usable film: Any cartridge-type 35mm film

Focusing screen: Interchangeable matte/Fresnel focusing screen with central split-image rangefinder spot and microprism collar (Nikon Type K2) as standard; two other types of screens available optionally (Type B2 and E2)
Viewfinder display: Shutter speed scale, ADR aperture f-number in use, exposure compensation mark, meter needle (black), shutter speed/exposure mode indication needle (green), outside-exposure-range warning mark.
Reflex mirror: Automatic instant-return mirror
Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing (AI): Provided
Exposure metering: Through-the-lens (TTL) center-weighted full aperture exposure measuring system using a pair of SPD’s (silicon photodiode)
Metering range: EV1 to EV18 (f/1.4 at lsec. to f/8 at 1/4000sec. with 50mm f/1.4 lens at ASA/ISO 100)
Photo diode: Three SPD’s for metering, TTL automatic flash output control
Film speed range: ASA/ISO 12 to 4000
Exposure compensation: Via dial provided; -2EV to +2EY in one-third increments
Exposure memory lock: Via self-timer lever
Film-advance lever: Single stroke; 30° stand-off angle and 135° winding angle
Automatic film wind: MD11/MD-12 Motor Drive
Frame counter: Additive type; automatically resets “S”, three frames before “1”, when camera back is opened;on auto mode, shutter speed is automatically set to 1/250sec. until frame “1” is reached during blank exposures.
Film rewind: Via film rewind crank rotated after rewind button is depressed
Self-timer: Mechanical type; approx. l0 sec. exposure delay; setting “cancellable”
Aperture coupling: Instant resets maximum aperture, depth-of-field preview button provided
Multiple exposure: Via lever
Flash sync: On Auto: 1/250sec. On Manual: Sync with electronic fla 1/250sec. or lower, or a only when shutter speed between 1/500sec. and 1/4000 sec., sync with flashbulb at 1/30 or lower
Accessory shoe: Standard ISO type; hot shoe, ready-light, monitor and TTL control contacts provided
Ready-light: LED visible inside viewfinder; lights up when SB-16B, SB-15 or SB-E Speedlight Unit is fully charged; blinks to warn that the distance between subject and SB-16B or SB-15 Speedlight reaches the working limitation of SB-16B or SB-15 on TTL mode
Camera back: Interchangeable with MF-l6 or MF-12 Data Back; pops open when the film rewind knob is pulled up as camera back is pushed counterclockwise; hinged type; memo holder provided
Power source: Three types are usable;3V lithium hattery (1 x CR-1/3N type); 2x 1.55Y silver-oxide battery (S-76 or SR44 type); 2x 1.5V alkaline-manganese battery (LR-44 type)
Exposure meter switch: Depressing shutter release button halfway turns on; meter stays on for 16sec. after finger is lifted off button, then automatically turns off when MD-12 attached, depressing the MD-12’s trigger button halfway turns off approx. 66 seconds later
Battery consumption: In storage: Approx. 4 ohm A; Metering: Approx. 5mA; Shutter releasing: Approx. 14mA; Exposure compensation LED lighting: approx. lmA
Battery check: By observing the meter needle movement; shutter locked at battery exhaustion; unlocked by shutter dial M250/B setting
