Since with the inception of Nippon Kogaku until the current Nikon Corporation - they were probably hundreds of camera models as well as million of Nikkor optics being sold thus far. It is very hard to satisfy everyone intention when each surfer coming to this Pictorial History Website (first created since 1997). Over the last few years, I have constructed quite a number of sites featuring a selective Nikon camera models (Nikon F(based on Mike Liu's previous effort, the Nikon F2 series, F3 Series, Nikon F4, NIkon F5, the digital SLR series as well as the midrange models such as Nikon FM series, FA, FE series, Nikkormat/Nikomat and the compact EM/FG/FG20 etc..). Each of these featured model has their respective Message Board to support specific owner of each camera types. However, there are a number of very good Nikon SLRs (as well as the film and/or Digital compacts wer quite exciting too. But due to various reasons, I cannot featured them one by one. This Message Board was created just for that purpose - to provide a gateway for those that were not being featured. You may use it for whatever you think suitable - questions & answers (Q&A) or just make good use of it to share experience among one another. The use of this section of the photography SITE is not confined soly for this purpose, you may also make use of it for other photographic matters. Some of the remarks presented within the pictorial history site was entirely personal and I do not wish to influence any decision prior to any potential purchases or disposal of your equipment.

Hi Jennifer: No, there is no manual shutter speed control in the Nikon EM. The best you can do to control your shutter speed is to adjust the lens aperture until you see the desired speed indicated in the viewfinder. Every interchangeable-lens Nikon that I can think of EXCEPT for the EM does have a manual speed control capability.

I have just started an introductory photography class using a borrowed Nikon EM from 1979. Does this model not have a manual shutter speed control?

My Nikon FG has an electric drain, batteries go dead. Local repair shop states "requires board - parts no longer available - remove batteries when not in use". Any ideas?

Jens, I have also just picked up a 'dead' Nikon FG, with exactly the same symptoms as you are describing. Mirror was stuck in the 'up' position, advance lever could not be moved, batteries were dead.

I installed new batteries, moved the shutter speed dial to M90 and fired the shutter..... The mirror came down and from that point on the camera functions as it should.

Hi Jens:

I can't guarantee that it will be fine with a new battery - sometimes long storage can make things sticky inside - but the FG will not operate without a battery, except at the "M90" and "B" shutter speed dial positions. It's certainly worth getting a new battery and giving it a try.

Hello,

I found a family Nikon FG lying around that hasn't been used for years. The batteries are ofcourse dead to the world and I was wondering if the camera will not mecanically function without battery power. I cannot get the camera to release and the film advance lever seems to be locked or stuck, so I can't move it at all. I am hoping it's simply lack of battery and not a more serious problem. Any ideas?

Many thanks, Jens
