The Nikon FG has everything today's photographer needs- programmed automation, aperture- priority automation and full metered manual exposure control.
In its programmed mode, the Nikon FG automatically and instantaneously sets the ideal combination of lens aperture and shutter speed. The FG also provides automatic aperture priority exposure control, choosing a stepless, electronically-timed shutter speed to correspond to the available light and selected lens opening. On manual, the photographer is in full control, setting the quartz-timed shutter speed and aperture. For added camera control during automatic operation, the Nikon FG offers a +2 stop auto-exposure override control in addition to an exposure compensation dial with up to ±2 EV in 1/2-stop increments.
To alert the photographer to possible picture taking errors the FG incorporates Nikon's SONICM alarm system with an audible "BEEP:' The sound may be cancelled if desired.
The electronic sophistication of the Nikon FG is highlighted by TTL flash automation with the new Nikon Speedlight SB-15. When the SB-15 is attached to the hot shoe and switched on, the FG's shutter speed is automatically adjusted to the proper X-sync speed (1/90 sec.) from either automatic mode or manually set shutter speed of 1/125 sec. or faster. If the manual shutter speed is 1/6D sec. or slower, the camera will continue to operate at the set speed. When the flash is charged, an LED flash ready-light glows in the viewfinder. If there is insufficient flash output for a proper exposure or if something is incorrectly set, the "thunderbolt" ready light symbol blinks as a warning.
For fast action photography the Nikon FG accepts the 2-speed MD-14 Motor Drive as well as the MD-E Motor Drive. The FG's back cover can be interchanged with the MF-15 Data Back. Plus, virtually all Nikon system accessories can be used with the Nikon FG.
To ensure that the Nikon FG will perform reliably even after extensive use, it is computer tested and retested. The FG is built on a durable die-cast metal chassis and incorporates a metal shutter, too, as do all Nikon cameras. As a final touch, a detachable handgrip has been added for secure, comfortable handling.
