Specifications

Do not throw the battery into a fire or hit it strongly, as there is danger of it exploding.

Therefore, make it a rule to use a new battery and/or keep replacement batteries on hand

for shooting outdoors in such freezing weather. Furthermore, keep the battery (and cam-

era) under cover, next to the body, and load just before beginning the session.

The shutter cannot be cocked when film is not loaded in the film back. The use of the multi-

ple exposure lever will, however, permit you to cock the shutter, in such instances. This fea-

ture is, of course, very convenient for familiarizing yourself with the camera and for testing

the shutter in flash photography. (See Section 21: Multiple Exposures)

The focusing screen is detached, for exchanging with other types. Do not place trimming

masks or tapes on the bottom surface of the screen, as this will lead to inaccurate focusing.

A red LED will flash in the lower left corner of the focusing screen and signal closing of the

shutter, when taking pictures. Wait for this signal, especially at slow shutter speeds, before

turning the film winding crank. The LED will light up in the lower right area when the AE-II

Finder E, Prism Finder E and Rotary View-finder E are used.

Use cable release and self-timer accessories with the cable release socket of the main body.

The voltage will drop when the camera is used for long shooting sessions in freezing weath-

er. Always insert a new battery or keep a spare on hand, for such occasions. Furthermore,

keep such batteries in an inside pocket. Or, use the optional Remote Camera Battery Pack E,

which has been developed for obtaining optimum battery performance in freezing weather.

Battery power is not consumed when time exposures are made or when the ETRSi is used

with the mechanically-controlled 1/500 sec. setting.

Due to the mask used in auto-printing, the finished print will be slightly smaller than the

negative frame (in the case of the service-size prints).Therefore, take this into account when

framing the picture.

Restrict cleaning of the reflex mirror to blowing or brushing with the blower brush or a soft

camel hair brush. Don't touch the surface with your fingers or a cloth.

25. Facts About the Battery (con’t)

The batteries which can be used in the Zenza Bronica ETRSi are the alkaline battery or the

silver oxide battery. Both batteries have very good cold weather resistance. However, there

is a tendency for performance to drop when the temperature falls below 0° C (32° F).

Clean the contacts of the battery chamber and the battery with a soft cloth. Don't use

sandpaper or emery cloth.
