Inserting the battery

The camera takes a 3 V lithium battery e.g. CR 2/ DL CR 2. A NiCad battery should not be used.

Unlock the battery compartment cover (15)

›

and open it. Insert the battery with the poles the right way

›

round. Close the cover and secure it in place.

›

Always switch off the camera before chang-

›

ing the battery.

Make sure the old battery is disposed of properly!

Note:

If you are not using the camera for several weeks, take the battery out.

Important

The date shown in the display disappears 5

›

seconds after the battery has bee removed. You will therefore have to reset the date when you put in a new battery. Should the battery run out while the film is

›

rewinding, insert a new battery and continue the rewinding process by pressing on the rewind button (22). When the rewinding procedure has finished, the frame counter will show “E”.

Switch on the camera with the master switch (13) and check the battery symbol on the LCD monitor (21):

›

Low battery warning: battery should be re-

›

placed. When this symbol appears, there is enough power left for about one more film. If the battery symbol flashes, there is not

›

enough power left to operate the camera. Replace the battery.

The available battery capacity decreases at lower temperatures. In cold weather, it is advisable to keep a spare battery ready.
