1. Getting Started 1-1 Loading Batteries
5.Battery Checking
Battery status, the proper battery positioning of the loaded
batteries, and the remaining battery power, must be checked
prior to operation of the camera.
Turn on the main switch and press lightly on the shutter speed
dial. An LCD indicator lights up on the left side of the
viewfinder field to indicate the operational status of the cam
era. As long as a "dead battery" mark does not appear on the
LCD, the battery is properly loaded and the battery power is
sufficient for shooting.
* When "dead battery" mark starts to blink on the LCD, replace
the batteries with a new set. Low battery capacity may cause
the camera to malfunction.
* If the LCD does not light up or switches off shortly after
depressing the shutter release button, the batteries must be
replaced with new ones.
* Do not use different brands or old and new batteries
together. Such improper use of batteries will shorten battery
life and may cause battery leakage or even explosion.
1. Getting Started 1-2 Attaching and detaching the lens
1-2-1 Attaching the Lens
1. Rotate the rear lens cap of the lens counter-clockwise about
70º, and lift it off when it comes to a mechanical stop.
2. Align the lens mounting index on the lens barrel with its
counterpart on the camera body. Place the lens into the lens
mount on the camera body, and then rotate the lens barrel
clockwise until it clicks to a stop. Make sure the lens is locked
in position before using.
Note: Do not touch the electronic contacts, the rangefinder coupling
roller, or the light shielding curtain located around and behind the
camera mount section. Contact with these may cause damage
and/or leave stains on vital systems, leading to malfunctioning of the
camera.
1-2-2 Detaching the Lens
1. Depressing the lens lock release button, rotate the lens barrel
counter-clockwise, until it comes to a mechanical stop.
2. Pull out the lens barrel from the mount of the camera.
