Shame on Nikon.) I own a Nikon FE2. I think it is misleading to say that the meter turns off the flash. The meter continues to function correctly at all times and can be used to manually set the aperature for the existing (non-flash) light of the scene. The only thing that changes when the 'flash ready' line is enabled: 1. The flash indicator light comes on in the viewfinder. 2. The "A" setting (formerly the "AUTO" setting in Nikon FE) becomes the same as flash sync speed, and any manual setting of the speed to over flash sync speed is treated as if flash sync speed were set. (On the FE2 thats 1/250sec.)
