The shutter speed dial from my old Nikon FE. In the Auto position the camera is in aperture priority mode. It is up to the photographer to select apertures the cameras set the shutter speed for what it thinks will be correct exposure.In manual mode the speeds which can be chosen are from 1/1000th sec to 1/2 second (The White Numbers). The orange numbers are slow speeds from 1 second to 8 seconds. M90 is a mechanical speed (No electronic shutter) and B is bulb for exposures longer than 8 seconds. In most digital SLRs the speeds are displayed on an LCD and inside the viewfinder on the information bar.
This image from inside the camera's viewfinder display shows:
From left: Metering option of matrix, 60 which represents 1/60th second shutter speed, f2.8 the set aperture.
The scale from + to - with zero in the centre shows slight over-exposure.
The number in brackets is the frames remaining.

Intrigued how you managed to produce such a crisp image of the camera's viewfinder display!
