The Nikon FG is a 35mm SLR, made by Nippon Kōgaku from 1982. It has programmed, aperture priority and manual exposure modes, and exists in black or silver finish. It replaced the Nikon EM as the company's compact offering, at the bottom of its SLR range, and it was in turn replaced by the Nikon FG20. The Nikon FG is probably the smallest full featured 35 mm SLR ever manufactured by Nikon. Unlike the Nikon FG20 it features TTL/OTF flash capability. The viewfinder shows times from 1 sec. to 1/1000 of a second on the right side, which are indicated by red LEDs. The aperture is not shown in the viewfinder.
