· While mounting and dismounting the lens, do not touch the lens glass and the inside of the camera.
· If you are changing the lens with film in the camera, take care to prevent light from entering the inside of the
camera.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Two 1.5 V alkaline batteries (LR44) or 1.55 V silver-oxide batteries (SR44) are needed to provide power for the
camera's exposure meter.
1. Remove the Battery Compartment Cover by turning it with a coin.4www.butkus.org
2 Insert the two batteries inside the battery holder with the plus ( + ) side facing up as shown, then replace the
holder in the compartment and tighten its cover.
< Battery Check >
Check the batteries with the LEDs in the viewfinder. If an LED (red or green) turns on when the Shutter
Release Button is pressed halfway in, the batteries are in good condition. If no LED turns on, they are exhausted
and must be replaced. Be sure to replace the two batteries at the same time.
Because the batteries are used to power only the exposure meter, the camera operates even if they are exhausted
or there are no batteries in it.

Battery Precautions>
· Silver-oxide batteries will last about one year, and alkaline batteries about six months. However, their service
life differs depending on their capacity at the time of purchase, the ambient temperature, and how often you take
pictures.
· Generally, the battery performance decreases temporarily at low temperatures (under about 0°C). When taking
pictures in cold weather, it is recommended to use new batteries and warm the camera before shooting. The
batteries affected by cold temperatures will function properly again if they return to normal temperature.
· Before installing the batteries, wipe both poles clean with a dry cloth because poor contact may result if they
are soiled.
· If you are carrying your camera on a long trip, bring spare batteries with you.
· Never put batteries into fire or try to disassemble them because it is dangerous.
