1l;) J I Precautionson Batteries HandlingCautions The Mamiya ZM has a built-in circuit that automatically gives a warning when battery power is running low. In this case, the LED corresponding to the correct shutter speed flashes and a warning buzzer sounds at the rate of 2 times per second when the shutter release button is lightly pressed. The batteries should be replaced as quickly as possible, although several exposures can still be made.
