FOREWORD
Although supplied as an accessory for the Nikon FM
and FE compact cameras, the MD-12 was, in fact,
a major feature in their design concept. Consequently,
the only significant difference between operating
these cameras with the motor drive attached, as oppo-
sed to without it, is that their operation is made
considerably easier. So, rather than regarding your
MD-12 Motor Drive Unit as a special accessory for
use only on rare occasions, you should consider itas
the normal complement to your Nikon compact
camera. For, in fact, the two together represent a
major advance in camera-handling technique.
To obtain the best results from your MD-12 Motor
Drive, read the instructions in th is manual carefully
before use. Keep this booklet handy for quick re-
ference until you have fully mastered operation. A
few minutes preparation will help you avoid costly
mistakes.
