OPERATION OF CAMERA CONTROLS-continued

Film-Advance Lever

The film-advance lever simultaneously advances the film,

cocks the shutter and operates the frame counter. It also

doubles as the Nikon FE’s meter on/off switch and

shutter button lock.

To advance the film, stroke the lever with your right

thumb as far as it will go. The film will be advanced a

full frame. The lever automatically returns to its 30°

stand-off position when released upon the completion of

film advance.

The film-advance lever switches the meter on when

moved to its stand-off position; it switches the meter off

when moved back flush with the camera body. With the

lever set flush against the camera body, it serves also as a

lock to prevent accidental tripping when the shutter is

cocked. In this position (when the meter is off), the

meter needle in the viewfinder rests below “B” on the

shutter-speed scale.

Frame Counter

Each time the film is advanced one frame by a full

stroke of the film-advance lever, the frame counter

operates to show how many frames have been exposed.

It is automatically reset to S (start), two frames before

0, when the camera back is opened to remove an ex

posed film cartridge and/or to load a new roll of film.

The fram’e counter has indications for up to a maximum

of 36 frames, with all odd numbers calibrated in dots

and all even numbers in figures. The figures are in white,

except for 1 2, 20 and 36 which appear in red to indicate

the maximum number of exposures available, respective

ly, with standard film cartridges.
