Precautions on Batteries
The Mamiya ZE-X has a built-in circuit that automatically gives a warning when battery power is running low.
In this case, the data display in the viewfinder flashes at the rate of 8 times per second when the shutter release
button is lightly pressed.
· The batteries should be replaced as quickly as possible, although several exposures can still be made. When
the batteries go completely dead, the viewfinder display will not light at all and the shutter will not be released.
· Batteries normally last for one year or more, but it is advisable to replace them once a year at least. Those who
take large numbers of photographs should replace the batteries more frequently. Always be on the lookout for
the flashing display warning.
· Batteries should always be removed when the camera is not be used for an extended time. Keep them in a
cool, dry place. Leaving batteries in the camera for long periods may result in leakage which could damage the
internal mechanisms.
· Always keep batteries out of the reach of children and never throw used batteries into a fire or expose to
excessive heat.
· When going on trips be sure to carry spare batteries to ensure that the camera will function. Also, as batteries
tend to temporarily malfunction at temperatures below freezing, when photographing in extremely cold
