dan, the f3 automatically locks down the shutter speed to 1/80 sec when the film back has opened. it does this during the first 2 frames and the shutter reacts normal as soon as the counter is at 0 and the shutter is cocked. (eg. shoot two blank shots when you have loaded the film and everithing is normal this is, by the way, described in the users manual google can help you there good luck, hugo2.

Hi, I have an F3 that I was given recently. I have just loaded a new film in to it and am unable to set the exposure setting to anything below 1/80. The speed of the film that I have loaded is Ilford FP4 125 ASA. Any help with what I might have done to lock these exposure settings down so much? Thanks, Dan.3.

Hiya, I just purchased a used SB-16B from my coworker foe $30 bucks, is it a good deal? I assume when the flash attach to the camera, the shutter speed will change to 80th of a sec, correct? but the thing is, am I suppose to set the aperture to either F5.6 or F8..The other question is, after I put on a L37C filter on my lens, all the pictures came out kinda green..was it because of the filter, or the Fuji film I put in the camera? Thankyou^^ Kirk C4. From : Walt McKinney (Waltavion@AOL.com)

Robert, KEH is showing 2 MN-2's for sale, both are listed in "Bargain" condition. "Bargain" condition indicates well used, but it's an indicator of cosmetic condition only. They are guaranteed to be functional. I think they are asking $19 each for them. Walt5. From : kirk chan (kirkchan50@hotmail.com)

Good evening. I am interested in finding a good source for reliable used Nikon MN-2 battery which is used in the F3 MD-4 motor drive. Thanks. Bob7. From : Harvey Bennett (hbb1121@aol.com)

When I read some of the problems pertaining to the Nikon F3HP I feel that some could be solved by the use of the correct batteries. I have several Nikon camera bodies but my favorite for my own personal use is the F3HP. I must admit that for my main source of income,photographing High School sports, AF cameras are a necessity. But back to the battery issue: these are a little hard to find, but try to get the VARTA V76PX. Again: two VARTA V76PX they work like a charm in the F3.

Hi Walt, Thanx for your information you given, I also purchase an AS4 and a Vivitar 2800 flash, does it mean I have to set the settings manually on the flash, and the LCD inside the viewfinder given me a reading of 80+(shutter speed), is that correct when I set the shutter spped dial to X ? Thankyou^^10.

Adds to Walt's excellent explanation: the main difference in operating the "B" & "T" is, once you depressed the shutter release button and the shutter will remain open for exposure AS LONG AS the button is kept pressing down. Once your finger is removed from the button, the shutter closes. So, if you want to operate "B" (Bulb) mode for extended exposure time or if your hand/finger is not stable enough to hold on to the button for too long (usually this mode is BEST used with a tripod), use a cable release that has a locking mechanism to lock. For "T" (Long-TIME) setting: Once you have pressed the shutter release button, the shutter will remain open UNTIL the shutter speed ring is being moved to another setting on the shutter speed dial (camera side). SO, it is very important when you decide to close the shutter for an exposure when moving the speed dial to another setting that you make sure camera is stable while you twist the dial to end exposure. Good news is, the "T" is entirely mechanical and doesn't drain any power from the camera/moto drive; the "B" will activate and consume some power approx. 30+ (?) sec and the power will be off but shutter remains open till you release your finger from the button. (Check leo's site in detail, I remember he stated the exact timing and HOW this works in the Nikon F3 somewhere in his site). NOte: if you have the MD-4 attaches and wish to perform ech of these task, the release button on the motor drive can only activate the release of exposure, even if you want to use that for whatever reason, ake sure it is on "S" (single) frame mode, if not the motor will advance to another frame immediately. This is precautionally measure because, in some cases, you may wnat to add some effect such as double exposure.. etc.. (Suggest you don't use and revert back to camera's release button).Maintainers for Nikon F3 Series SLR cameras Message Board:
