3. If the shutter will not release
4. In cold weather
5. Before an important shooting assignment
• Wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper contact.
• The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted,
exposed to high temperatures, or disposed of in fire. Be sure to observe all pre-

tery power drops below a certain level, film advance and rewinding stop operating
