Nikon launched the EM in 1979 as the first in a series of 3 low budget compact bodies.
Compared to contemporary Nikon cameras, the EM contained a high level of plastic, although it's based on a pretty solid metal structure. Something which is no longer the case for a lot of high end gear.
The EM was an automatic camera with aperture control.
To allow for a higher degree of control, an exposure compensation button was added (front upper right), whereby a 2 steps slower shutter speed was selected to accomodate for the right exposure of backlit subjects.
Two mechanical speeds were available in case the battery failed: 1/90 sec and Bulb (long exposures).
