PRELIMINARY STEPS

A TT ACHING THE STRAP

LOADING THE B ATTERIES

Make sure you have the correct batteries for your camera and that they are fresh. Y our camera uses tw o alkaline batteries (Size AA/LR6) for reliable service. Do not try to use other types or sizes of batteries and do not mix an old battery with a new one. It is best to buy two batteries of the same brand at the same time.
To load batteries. . . Open the battery compartment cover b y pressing y our finger against the finger rest and slid­ing the cover in the direction of the arro w.
1 It is important to insert the batteries correctly. Follo w the instructions in the diagr am on
the insider of the battery cover. Pay particular attention to the position of the , and ­poles of the batteries. If the batteries are no inserted correctly, the camera will not operate.
2 Once the batteries are correctly inserted, close the battery compartment cover by snap-
ping it into place. When the cover is closed properly, it fits flush against the bottom of the camera. If y ou hav e trouble, chec k the placement of the batteries to make sure the y are properly seated in the battery compartment.
8
Do not apply excessive force when opening the battery cover.
Do not load film before insertng the battery into the camera.
Make sure that the new batteries are both the same brand and type.
Do not use Ni-Cd batteries.
Two alkaline batteries should be sufficient for approximately 360 exposures (based on our test
conditions). When trav eling, take e xtra batteries to provide power f or extr a exposures, particularly important
if you visit areas where fresh batteries may be difficult to obtain. Check the battery capacity symbol before using your camera. (→p.11)
At low temperatures, battery capacity is reduced. W arm the batteries, e.g. in your pock et, before
using them.
