Description:
- The FE was introduced in 1978
- it is an electronically controlled aperture-priority automatic and manual exposure camera.
- It has interchangeable focusing screens.
- It has two needles in the finder: one is the setting of the camera's shutter speed knob, and one is the exposure suggested by the light meter. This allows easy use in manual exposure setting: just match the needles. In the A setting then only the one needle indicates the shutter speed set by the camera.
- Marked shutter speeds go from 8 seconds to 1/1,000.
- ISO setting from 12 to 3200.
- flash sync is 1/125
- Cool stuff: there is a mechanical speed of 1/90 that allows the camera to work without batteries.
