Battery Status Check
After opening the lens protector, battery status
can be checked by covering the metering cell
with the hand as illustrated, and partially
depressing the shutter release button. The
ORANGE indicator will glow continuously,
accompanied by a beeping sound when
normal voltage is available: the lamp may be
seen in the upper section of the viewfinder.
Battery status is also known by another
method: in a brightly lit place, partially depress
the shutter button without covering the
metering cell with the hand, and if the GREEN
lamp lights, there is no problem with the
batteries.
• Insert both batteries properly according to
the indicated + and - markings.
• When replacing batteries, by type, brand,
new or old they should not be mixed, as by
doing so, poor results may be the outcome.
• It is recommended that the batteries are
removed from the camera if it is not used for
a long time. Leaving batteries in the camera
may result in acid leakage and possible
damage to the camera mechanism.
