Loading the Batteries
This camera will not work without batter
ies.
Use two new size-AA 1.5V batteries of the
same brand. We recommend using alkaline
(LR6) batteries. Carbon-zinc batteries can
also be used, but their life is shorter.
DO NOT use Ni-Cd batteries.
1. Wipe the battery terminals with a clean,
dry cloth to ensure proper contact.
2. Push down on the battery chamber cover
® and slide it in the direction of the arrow to
open the cover.
3. Load the batteries, making sure to place
them in the correct © 0 order indicated on
the diagram inside the battery chamber.
4. Push the cover shut.

' Replace the batteries if, after checking
them, the viewfinder lamp does not blink,
' Battery power is reduced in very low tem
peratures (0°C or 32° F), making regular
photography difficult. If you plan to take pic
tures in cold conditions, keep the camera
warm until just before you shoot. It is a
good idea to carry spare batteries; keep
them warm also until they are needed.
Don't throw away batteries that have
become temporarily unusable because of
cold weather. Once they have been re
stored to room temperature, you may be
able to use them again.
’ If you don't expect to use the camera for
about three weeks or longer, remove the
batteries so that they don't leak and corrode
the camera's electrical contacts.

Setting the Film Speed
A
For correct exposure, set the film speed
ring @ according to the ISO number Indicat
ed on the film’s cartridge and box. Turn the
ring until the correct number is aligned with
the white film speed index.
ISO 100““»‘!»>200'2f'»'®;<»400 -1000
Figures in parentheses are intermediate film speeds |
[
represented by dots on the film speed ring, ]
-10-
Reset the film speed ring each time you load film with
a different ISO rating
Because there are no click-stops between ISO 400
and 1000 on the camera, film with an ISO rating be
tween these two numbers, for example ISO 640,
cannot be used
