 FM 10 - Total Manual Control
If you want total manual control, the FM10 is a great choice. Select shutter speed and aperture. Use manual film advance and rewind manually. The Center-weighted light meter guides you towards a great exposure, but you have options to do it on your own. You focus manually and preview depth-of-field to see the image quality and sharpness. It's 100% your choice – a great way to learn and build confidence.
The FM10 is packaged in an outfit with a 35-70mm f/3.5-4.8 Zoom Nikkor, Eveready case, strap and batteries. It's a great first 35mm camera for the enthusiast who wants to begin with basics without cutting corners. For the Nikon enthusiast, the FM10 is a great additional camera – light, compact and it accepts AF Nikkor and AI-S Nikkor lenses for manual focusing operation; it fits perfectly into any photographer's Nikon system. And, there's nothing like SLR viewing and interchangeable Nikkor lenses to stimulate creativity.
 

35-70mm f/3.5-4.8 Zoom Nikkor
From its traditional wide angle to portrait telephoto range, this Zoom Nikkor provides a flexible and creative range for general photography.

Shutter speeds up to 1/2000 second
Shoot action stopping sharp pictures at up to 1/2000 sec., or achieve creative light patterns at slow speeds like 1 second. The wide shutter range will handle most picture-taking situations and works great with a wide range of ISO film speeds.

Bulb setting
For very long exposures, the B setting lets you capture beautiful night scenes, cityscapes with vibrant lighting, and long time exposures for creative exciting photography. A tripod is required for best results.

Depth-of-field preview
Using through-the-lens SLR viewing, and being able to see the range of sharpness is an exciting way for the new photographer to see what's happening. It spurs their vision and helps them make better pictures.

Double exposures
Double exposures can be lots of fun, and with creative thought and careful preparation, great pictures can result.

Daylight, night-time and indoors
Flash photography is easy and direct with the FM10. Its built-in ISO hot shoe will accept just about any Nikon Speedlight for manual flash operation or non-TTL auto.

Nikkor lenses
The FM10 is supplied with the 35-70 Zoom Nikkor, and there's a compatible, light and compact 70-210 lens available too. As your Nikon system grows, there are so many more AF Nikkor and AI-S Nikkor lenses to choose from – all perfectly compatible with the FM10's manual focusing operation.

Center-weighted meter
Time proven and very accurate, this light meter will guide the photographer towards excellent exposures. With the built-in +0- LED display, creative adjustments are just a turn-of-a-dial away.

Manual advance and rewind
Comfortable handling, lightweight, compact and very convenient, the Nikon FM10 will deliver, roll after roll.
