A. Depress the battery chamber button with your finger and, at the
same time, move the battery chamber cover in the arrow-indicated
direction. The cover will come off easily.
B. Coincide the plus (+) and minus (-) marks on the battery with simi-
lar polarity indications in the battery chamber. Then, push in the bat-
tery. Insert the battery chamber cover in, the BATTERY end first, and
then move the cover in the other direction (opposite to the arrow
indication) until it locks.
* The shutter will be mechanically-controlled (at 1/500 sec.) when the
battery is loaded with polarity marks reversed.
A red-colored battery check LED lights up outside the focusing screen
area, (central front of finder), when the battery check button is
pressed. This means the battery is loaded properly and there is suffi-
cient power for operations.
* If the LED does not light up; (1) the battery is not loaded properly or,
(2) the battery is completely drained and should be exchanged.
1. Loading the Battery
The electronically controlled shutter will not work without loading the battery. The shutter
will be mechanically controlled when the battery is not loaded and will be released at 1/500
sec., regardless of the setting on the shutter speed dial.
Use one 6 volt silver oxide battery or alkaline-manganese battery.
* The battery may be obtained at any photographic equipment or electrical appliance shop.

3.Attachment and Removal of Film Backs
The film back is a film chamber that can be attached or detached freely. This permits a free
exchange of film types even during shooting sessions.
The main camera body and film back are fully coupled, upon connection. Therefore, always
turn the film winding crank completely one time, upon attaching the film back.
