Located at the top of the anatomical
grip,
the large
shutter
release
button on
the Nikonos-V
provides
con-
venient
operation either above or below
the water.
When
gently
depressed
halfway, this button activates
the exposure
meter. After
you
remove
your
finger
from
the button, the
meter
stays
for approximately
16sec.
and then automatically turns
itself
off
to con-
serve battery
power.
Because the shutter
release
button activates the
viewf inder LEDs when the
shutter
speed/mode
index is
opposite any setting
except
M90
(1/90sec.),
B
(Bulb),
or
R
(Rewind),
the
shutter
release
button can be used as
a
battery
check. At
M90
(1/90sec.),
B
(Bulb),
and R
(Rewind),
and until
the frame counter reaches
"1,"
the viewfinder
LEDs
do
not
appear.

that
the
shutter
release
button should be depressed

not rapidly,
