BATTERY PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
Battery performance varies greatly, depending on its type
and age, as well as on operating conditions, including tem-
perature. Consequently, the number of rolls that can be ex-
posed with one set of batteries cannot be accurately pre-
dicted. As a guide, however, you can expect to be able to
expose more than a hundred 36-exposure rolls of film per
set of alkaline-manganese batteries.
Since batteries have poor low-temperature characteristics,
battery performance diminishes considerably as the tem-
perature decreases. This results in slower shooting speed and
reduced film transport capacity. Alkalinemanganese batter-
ies, in particular, suffer severely at temperatures below 0 C.
