Power Source for Light Metering
Into the bottom part of the camera body, insert one 1.3 V H-D type mercury
battery, equivalent to the US Mallory PX 625 or the Eveready EPX 625.
Do not use
higher voltage (over 1.4 V) mercury batteries, such as Mallory RM
625 or Eveready E 625 E, since they will cause the meter to read too high causing
under-exposure reading.
This is the camera's power source for exposure metering. The battery chamber can
be opened by unscrewing it with a coin. Be sure to place the battery with the (+)
and the (-) poles in the correct position. A new battery will work for about a year.
