Facts
about
the
Battery
Bronica
SQ-B works
well
at
a
low
temperature.
However,
there is
a
tendency
for
performance
to drop
when the
temperature
falls
below
0"C
(32"F).
therefore,
make
it
a
rule
to use new
batteries
and/or
keeo
replacement
batteries
on hand
for
shooting
outdoors
in
freezing
weather.
Keep
the
batteries
(and
camera)
under
cover, next
to the
body,
and load
just
before
beginning
the
session
and/or,
preferably,
use the
optional
Remote
Camera Battery
Pack
Ei.
oThe
shutter
cannot
be cocked
when film
is not
loaded
in
the film
back. The
use of the
muttiple
exposure lever
will, however,
permit
you
to
cock
the shutter,
in
such
instances.
This
feature
is,
of
course,
very
convenient
for
familiarizing yourself
with
the
camera
and for
testing
the
shutter
in flash
photography.
(See "22.
Multiple
Exposures"on
page
25.)
o
Battery
power
is not
consumed
when
time
exposures
are made.
oThe
battery
voltage
will
drop
when
the
camera
is
used for
long
shooting
sessions
in freezing
weather.
Insert
new
batteries
or
keep
a
spare
on hand,
for
such
occasions.
Furthermore,
keep
such
batteries in
an inside
pocket.
oThe
focusing
screen
is
detach-
able, for
exchanging
with
other
types.
Do
not
place
trimming
masks
or tapes
on the
bottom
surface
of the
screen,
as this
will
lead
to inaccurate
focusing.
o
A
red
LED will
f lash
above the
focusing
screen
area
and
signal
closing
of the
shutter when
taking
the
picture.
Wait for
this
signal,
especially
at slow
shutter
speeds,
before rotating
the film
winding
crank.
o
lt
should
be remembered
when
compose
pictures,
that
the final
print
may not
be
a square
format
when
printed,
but
will be
cropped
on
both
sides
or at the
top
and
bottom.
oThe
optional
Remote
Camera
Battery
Pack
Eishould
be
used with
the
SQ-B. The
optional
Remote
Camera Battery
Pack
SQ-i
cannot
be used.
o
Time
(T)
exposure
is
not obtain-
able with
the
standard
Zenzanon-
PS/B
80mm lens
(supplied
in
the
SQ-B kit)
but time
exposures
are
feasible
when
other Zenzanon-PS
lenses
are attached.
oAlthough
the
battery
will not
be
drained
by depressing
the
shutter
release
button
half way,
it
is
recommended
that
the
shutter
release
button
be locked
to
orevent
accidental
release
of the shutter.
o
The various
accessory
film
backs
can
be attached
but the film
speed
dial will
not
operate.
