The exposure is automatic when using flash.

A year later in 1961, another unusual camera model was introduced. It doesn't bear with a "Nikon" name, but was designed by Nippon Kogaku and used the same F-mount and supplied with Nikkor lenses. It was called "Nikkorex". It was originally designed as an economical SLR, you can say it was a pre-Nikkormat. Meterless and some of the bodies was even supplied with a fixed lens. 1963, Nikon third zoom lens, the Zoom Nikkor auto 43mm- 86mm f/3.5 was introduced. This lens was supplied as standard to a US military model, the Nikon F KS-80A.
