Operation Manual

The expected span of serviceability of a mercury battery cell will be over one year in normal use. With the

span of its serviceability getting to a close, its voltage will suddenly diminish. The degree to which the cells

have run down may be checked while pictures are taken, but it will also be possible to check it in the

following manner.

1. While the Lens Interchanging Button (23) is depressed, turn the lens counterclockwise and detach it

From the camera. (Refer to Page 54.) There is no need to dismount your lens, if it is not an automatic

aperture one with an EE mark.

2. Grip and lift up the place outside the Shutter Speed Dial (17) and set the film speed to ASA 100.

3. Turn the shutter speed dial and set it to 1/125 sec.

4. While looking into the viewfinder, depress the Battery Check Button (27) on the bottom of your

camera. The capacity of the battery cells will be adequate if the Meter Needle (45) is found to be

swinging under the Battery Check Mark (46). If the meter needle is no longer able to reach the mark,

replace the battery cells with new ones.
