Notes on replacing the batteries:
• Ensure that there Is no film loaded. Switch
off power before replacing the batteries.
• If the batteries are replaced with a film al¬
ready loaded, the camera enters the start¬
ing mode. It will assume the film has just
been loaded and will advance several
frames. The (/) will appear on the LCD
panel.
• If the batteries are replaced at the end of
the film roll, the camera may not detect the
film, and the frame counter indication may
not appear on the LCD panel. Follow the
procedure for rewinding the film In mid-roll
to rewind the film, and remove the film.
• The batteries are used by both the camera
body and the date function on the DATE
model to keep constant track of time. After
the batteries are replaced, correct the time
and date, (see page 39.)
• When the camera is in a carrying bag, en¬
sure the main switch is off: otherwise, bat¬
tery power may be wasted if the shutter
release button is accidentally pushed.
