The

use of the

MO-12

motor drive unit with the FM2 enables

automatic film advance when the unit's trigger button

is

pressed.

In

addition to single-frame shooting, continuous firing at the

maximum rate of 3.2 frames per second

is

possible (i.e

.,

when

the shutter speed set

is

between 1/125 and 1/4000 sec.).

The

motor drive unit proves very convenient when shooting fast-

moving subjects since the photographer does not have to wind

film manually or take his eye off the viewfinder.

The

MO-12

can

be

mounted onto the FM2 by simply inserting

and tightening its built-

in

screw into the tripod socket @ at the

base of the camera

body.

Note that lightly pressing the

MO-12

's

trigger activates the FM2's exposure meter.
