Nippon Kogaku’s philosophy that a camera must always work when called upon resulted in the FE’s backup ability to operate without batteries – albeit in a limited fashion: completely manual mechanical control with limited shutter speeds (1/90 second, marked M90, or Bulb) and without the light meter. (A little-known feature of the FE is that when the battery is removed, the "Auto" setting produces a shutter speed of approximately 1/1000 sec. This is documented in the factory repair manual.)
nicee. anyway, the M90 on the speed dial is the only shutter speed it would work at(along with B) when there's no battery in it. so 1/90th of a second if there's no power.

I'm sorry, I couldn't finish watching your video because of the constant movement of the camera, started getting dizzy.
