Nikon EM? I am a beginner who has no idea what you are doing?
I have been trying to get my Nikon MS to work for a long time now, and I'm getting frustrated. It was my grandfather, not knowing the exact date, but probably around 1975. I know how to load the film and camera focus, but I have no idea what the film speed, shutter speed, aperture, and lighting for use. It has a scale on the left side of the lens, ranging from 1-1000. What are these numbers, and where they should be pointing the needle when I'm taking pictures outdoors with plenty of light without a flash? Also, when you press the shutter button lightly, it beeps. Does it beep means no focus, the lighting is wrong or what? Any help at all is appreciated.
You have a good little camera adjustable … it takes a certain amount of knowledge to use any camera photo Adjustable and MS is no different. Since you've never used one before, all these options to choose the correct exposure in many ways so it can frustrate someone who is not is accustomed to things like shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focusing screens, loading, unloading and rewind movies, etc. I suggest you can take a photography class at the local university or ask your local camera store and see if they have classes in the use of 35mm cameras. This should get you going. If possible, find a book in the library of basic photography. NOTE: The 1 ~ 1000 is a second-second .. 1/1000th shutter speed can be chosen. There is a meter light in the display and all you have to do is use it to find the correct exposure. If you buy a 100 ISO film, you can start taking pictures outdoors and check their exposure through the sunny 16 rule …. 1/ISO of the film in f/16 in bright sunshine. Link to some information about MS. You http://mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/emfgfg20/em/ can see that the area in the viewfinder that has the ~ January 1000 has a notch and a needle … When the needle is in the notch, the exposure is correct. If the shutter speed is too slow to take the hand, you will hear a beep
