The Nikon FG is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) film camera manufactured by Nikon and introduced in 1982. It was the first Nikon camera to offer a programmed auto-exposure (P) mode, making it an accessible yet powerful tool for photographers of various skill levels. The FG is part of Nikon's compact series, alongside the EM and FG-20, and features an electronically controlled focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1/1000 to 1 second. It supports Aperture-Priority, Programmed Auto, and Manual exposure modes. The camera is compatible with the vast array of Nikon F-mount lenses, particularly those with AI (Aperture Indexing) functionality. Its robust build, combining an aluminum alloy chassis with a lightweight design, makes it a favored choice for film photography enthusiasts and collectors.
