FOREWORD

Although supplied

accessory for the Nikon

and

compact cameras, the

MD-11

was,

fact,

a major feature

their design concept. Consequently,

the onIy significant difference between operating

these cameras with the motor drive attached,

oppo-

d to without it,

that their operation

made

considerably easier. So, rather than regarding your

MD-11

Motor Drive Unit

a special accessory for

use

only on rare occasions, you should consider

the normal complement to your Nikon compact

camera. For,

fact, the two together represent a

major advance

camera-handling technique.

To obtain the best results from your

MD-11

Motor

Drive, read the instructions

this 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.

ATTACHING

THE

MOTOR

DRIVE

Mounting the MD-ll on your camera

simple; the

unit has been designed such that it can

attached

removed

any

regard

less

whether or not

the camera

loaded with film. Before attaching the

MD-ll,

make sure

that

its power switch

turned off.

Then, position the motor drive on the camera's

bottom

plate; its handgrip should be

the same end

the

camera

the film advance lever. Ensure

that

the raised

ring around the drive shaft

correctly seated inside the

locating collar, coaxial with the camera's film advance

coupling. Then, fasten the motor drive's attachment

screw, turning it clockwise by means

the thumb

wheels on either side. Simu Itaneous

use

both fore-

finger and thumb

will

speed up attachment.

Make

sure

there

no gap between the motor drive and the camera

body; then tighten the attachment screw firmly.

When

the M0-11

mou nted on the

FM,

the camera's

mode selector switch around the shutter release button

should

set to

"M"

lector being aligned with the line on the camera body.

switched on.

Then, turn the motor drive's power switch to "ON."

OPERATION

The camera/MO-11 combination operates

virtually

the same manner

the camera on its own. Please refer

to your camera's instruction manual for details.

When

the MO-11

attached,

leave

the film advance lever

flush with the camera body. The motor drive's power

switch

will

also serve to switch on the camera's meter.

With the motor drive attached

all

exposures should

made via the trigger button on the motor drive grip.

shooting. To set the motor

drive to either S or

depress the lock and turn the

selector to the requ ired setting.

Single-frame shooting: In this mode, depressing the

trigger

button

on the motor drive grip fires the shutter;

when the finger

lifted from the button, the motor

drive advances the film one frame and cocks the

shutter. You can lift your finger from the trigger

button even before the exposure

completed since the

electronic interlock prevents the film from advancing

until the shutter has completed its travel. The usable

shutter speed range when the M
