Technical data

At room temperature and measurements of 10s
per exposure, a new set of batteries should last
for approximately 65 36-exposure films, or 2340
exposures.
Automatic battery check
If the decimal display LEDs or the light balance
flash when exposure metering is activated, the
batteries should be replaced. If the batteries do
not have sufficient power for the electronically
controlled functions of the camera (exposure me-
tering and the electronic shutter speeds), "
bbcc
”
lights up or the displays disappear altogether.
In these cases, you can continue to use the
camera with the two mechanical shutter speeds
of 1/60s and 1/125s available and exposure
metering based on estimation or using an external
hand exposure meter.
Note: The electrical circuit can be broken by
oxidation of the battery surfaces; this will also
cause the LEDs to go out. In this case, remove the
batteries and clean them with a clean cloth. If
necessary, also clean the contacts inside the cam-
era.
Important!
• New and used batteries, or batteries of dif-
ferent types or from different manufacturers,
should not be used together.
• The battery contacts must be kept clean.
• Batteries should not be incinerated, recharged,
opened, dismantled or heated.
• Used batteries should be removed as soon as
possible and should not be disposed of in
normal waste, as they contain substances
harmful to the environment.
• To ensure that they are properly recycled, you
should take the batteries to a dealer or recyc-
ling point.
• Batteries should be stored in a cool dry place.
