The EM was Nikon's entry into the inexpensive public SLR market. They have their limitations, and aren't built with the quality of more expensive Nikons. They have no manual overide of the "automatic" feature that makes them attractive to wide public use. However, you can have pretty good control by either setting F stops and letting the camera choose the shutter speed, or choosing a shutter speed by watching the meter and turning the F stop til you get what you want. Beyond that, you have to either trust the little backlight button, or lie to the camera by resetting the ASA dial. Still, they're small, light, and very handy. Mine gets mounted on my telescope, used with extension rings for close-ups, and used for just about anything I get picky about.  Marty |
