I'm a newbie dummie but I put the right batteries in the NIKON F10 and
when I hit the shutter release no lighted up exposure metering
appeared in the NIKON TTL. Do I need to have film in the camera before
the exposure metering takes effect. They call the FM10 a manual camera
and it mainly is but it has all the unecessary *** on it the Pentax
K-1000 didn't have. You can properly expose manually usuing right film
speed and aperture and shutter speed without exposure metering.

I've never seen and FM10, but the standard for Nikon cameras is to
turn on the meter by moving the wind lever out a little bit.

It's called a manual camera because the shutter uses mechanical
timing (hence the "M" in the name), which means except for the
meter it will function without batteries.

A similar camera with an electronicly timed shutter and
"f stop" priority autoexposure was sold as the FE10, and
with other features and an OM lens mount as the OM-30.

It doesn't appear to have exposure metering; I did what I was supposed
to. I took good pictures
with my K-1000 without exposure metering; it was trial and error.
Purchased a Nikon E-series
50mm lense; apparently a litttle shorter in focal length a starter.
Better than the ZOOM I hope.
The NIKON F10 has a self timer 10 seconds which is great if it works
because my shutter
release nozzle won't depress. Also, it has a tiny rewind film button
on the bottom yet a rewind film
crank on the top! I think I will use the latter. Will take me a while
to get the hang of it and
start remembering what I learned in photography class.
