Notes on replacing the batteries:
• Make sure there is no film loaded. Switch off power
by setting the main switch to (O) before replacing
the batteries.
• If the batteries are replaced with film already loaded,
the camera enters the starting mode. It will assume
the film has been just loaded and will advance several
frames.
• Batteries power both the camera's main unit and the
data-imprinting section. After replacement, confirm
that the data on the LCD panel is correct.
