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 dif-
ference between operating these cameras with the motor drive
attached, as opposed to without it, is that their operation is
made considerably easier. So, rather than regarding your
Motor Drive MD-12 unit as a special accessory for use only
on rare occasions, you should consider it as 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 Motor Drive MD-12,
read the instructions in this manual carefully before use. Keep
this booklet handy for quick reference until you have fully
mastered operation. A few minutes preparation will help you
avoid costly mistakes.
