Pentax 645 - BASIC PREPARATION; INSERTING BATTERIES (GRIP 645)

BASIC PREPARATION
Use six AA batteries of the types mentioned below
in accordance with the instructions on the battery
case;
• Manganese batteries
• Alkaline batteries
• Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries (a charger needed)
(New batteries are packed at the time of
shipment, but because of inherent self-
discharging, performance gradually
deteriorates as time goes by. In such a
case, replace the packed batteries with
brand-new ones.)
