Battery Check Zone
Battery Check
Look into the viewfinder while pressing the battery check button. If the meter needle points within the battery check zone, the voltage is sufficient. If the needle points below the check zone, voltage is not sufficient and the mercury battery must be replaced. Be sure to replace two batteries of the same brand at the same time.
•Press the battery check button firmly. The meter needle may drop to the underexposure mark once and then pop back up to the battery check zone.
•When the batteries are exhausted, the camera sets an improper exposure or the shutter button is automatically locked. Make sure to check the batteries before photographing.
