The Nikon N2000 was considered a revolutionary camera when introduced in 1985.
The Nikon N2000 35 mm camera was introduced in 1985 in Japan, and was well-known for being the first single lens reflex (SLR) camera with a built-in film winder that didn't have an advance lever. The automatic winder delivers a speed of 2.5 frames per second (FPS). The camera requires four AAA batteries to operate.
Flash and Film Velocity
The N2000 has a typical flash mount that is on top of the viewfinder, meaning that a flash can be fastened to the camera. However, the camera does not possess a fitted popup flash. The Nikon N2000 has an option to set the film by velocity from ISO 12 to ISO 3,200. The DX characteristic has a film velocity from ISO 25 to ISO 4,000. The DX designation means that the camera has a digital body sensor that is less than 35 mm.
Exposure Modes
The Nikon N2000 camera has four exposure modes. Two are auto-programmed, which means that aperture and speed are mechanically set. The other two exposure modes are aperture priority and manual. Aperture describes the lens diaphragm opening within a photogenic lens. The size of the hole controls the quantity of light that passes through and onto the film. Since the Nikon N2000 camera is an SLR camera, the size of the opening can be altered. This makes it a point-and-shoot camera without the auto-focus feature that is an industry standard as of 2010. In addition to these four modes, there is an exposure remembrance lock knob.
Shutter
The selector knob can lock the shutter button and has an uninterrupted alternative, as well as the solitary shot. The shutter velocities are one second to 1/2,000 of a second. It also was the first camera to contain DX film decoding.
Polycarbonates
The Nikon N2000 uses polycarbonates in the camera building process. At the time of its development, this move marked the beginning of a new era for Nikon as the company switched from metal-clad cameras to lighter weight polycarbonate-based materials.
