The Nikon EM is a beginner's level, interchangeable lens, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. It was manufactured by Nippon Kogaku K. K. (today Nikon Corporation) in Japan from 1979 to 1982
The EM offers a shutter speed range of 1 to 1/1000 second plus Bulb and flash X-sync of 1/90 second but has no full manual exposure mode capability.
It accepts nearly all lenses with the Nikon F bayonet mount and supports the automatic indexing (AI) feature introduced in 1977.
The contemporary Nikon-made AI lenses were the Nikkor AI-S, Nikkor AI and Nikon Series E types. The AF-S Nikkor, AF-I Nikkor, AF Nikkor D and AF Nikkor autofocus lenses are also AI types.
This camera comes with a Nikkor 50mm ?/1.8 lens that is manual-focus.
Button batteries power the camera for the integrated light meter.
A left side viewfinder needle pointer indicates the exposure on a shutter speed scale. The viewfinder has Nikon's standard split image rangefinder and microprism collar focusing aids. The camera is also fitted with a low-light exposure warning in the form of an audible 'beep'.
The EM has proved to be as reliable over the years as more expensive Nikons of the era.
