TextThe Nikkormat EL was the first Nikon camera to feature automatic exposure. As with earlier Nikons, exposures could be determined manually or with the built-in CDS match-needle light meter. However, setting the shutter speed dial to "A" turned the camera into an aperture-preferred auto-exposure camera; the user selects the lens opening and the camera selects the appropriate shutter speed.
