displayed, you may have to rewind the film manually
(see section 15) when you reach the end of roll.
3. When the batteries are almost exhausted, the interval winding starts
to conserve the batteries remaining life by winding for 2 sec. and
shutting off for 0.5 sec. in sequence. The (blank battery icon) symbol will
blink in LCD Display Panel. (Fig. 18) If the battery outline ~ is flashing do
not use flash until batteries are replaced. (Fig. 19)
4. When the batteries are virtually dead, the c symbol will appear in the
LCD Display Panel. Replace with new batteries. (Fig. 20)
* If the c symbol lights for about one minute, then disappears, the battery
is only capable of retaining camera memory. However, do not remove
old batteries until you are ready to replace them with fresh ones.
The memory of the photography mode will be retained for about 30 minutes without batteries. If you
replace with new batteries within that 30 minutes, the display of the photography mode left in the camera
memory will again appear in LCD Display Panel.
