A. Depress the battery chamber button with your finger and, at the
same time, move the battery chamber cover in the arrow-indicated
direction. The cover will come off easily.
* When loading the battery, be sure to leave the battery removal rib-
bon extending out, for convenience in removing the battery the next
time.
B. Coincide the plus (+) and minus (-) marks on the battery with simi-
lar polarity indications in the battery chamber. Then, push in the neg-
ative end of the battery first and follow with the positive end.
C. Insert the BATTERY end of the battery chamber cover which also
has a mark coinciding to that on the body. Then move the cover in
the other direction (opposite to the arrow indication) until it locks in
place.
If a red-colored battery check LED lights up in the left-rear corner (of
the screen area) when the battery check button is pressed, the bat-
tery is loaded properly and there is sufficient power for electronic
operations.
* If the LED does not light up, (1) the battery is not loaded properly or
(2) it is completely drained.
The electronically-controlled speeds of the shutter will not work without loading the bat-
tery. One alkaline-manganese or one silver-oxide battery of 6 volts should be used.
The shutter will be mechanically controlled when the battery is not loaded, exhausted or
when it is loaded with its polarity marks reversed. It will then be released at 1/500 sec,
regardless of the setting on the shutter speed dial. Time exposure is an additional mechani-
cal speed, accessible by a lever (A/T) on the lens.
* The batteries noted may be obtained at any photographic equipment or electrical appli-
ance shop.
