Nikon F    1959 - 1974
SHUTTER SPEED SETTING
All 13 click stop shutter speed settings are on a single selector dial, which can be set before or after the shutter is wound.
Speed are:  B, T, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000.
Numbers on the speed selector dial represent the actual shutter speed. For example: 125 is 1/125
The shutter speed setting desired is made by aligning the speed with the black dot on the camera.
The dial turns a full 360 degree in either direction and can be set from the fastest to the slowest speed without obstruction.
Figure on the left, show shutter speed is setting to 1/60.
  PRE SELECTING LENS APERTURE
Interchangeable NIKKOR Auto lenses are designed so that the diaphragm automatically closes down to the pre selected aperture when the shutter button is depressed. The diaphragm automatically reopens to full aperture immediately after the shutter has been fired. Consequently, the finder image is seen bright and clear at all times except for the instant the shutter is released. To preset the aperture, turn the aperture ring on the lens barrel until the desired f number is opposite the black indicator dot on the milled ring .
The diaphragm can be preset for intermediate openings between markings and will still function automatically without disturbing the setting.

A button DOF (depth-of-field preview control) is provided on the front of the camera to permit closing down the diaphragm manually to the pre selected aperture. When this button is released, the diaphragm automatically opens to full aperture.
