C. Next, thread the neck strap through the plastic ring cover (and the
U-shaped ring) and pull it out, as illustrated.
D. After adjusting the length of the neck strap, pass the leading end
of the strap through the buckle, as illustrated, which will fix it securely.
* There should be no slack in the strap between the buckle and the
plastic ring cover, or in "A" section, which means that both straps
must be of the same length at this point.

The battery supplies power for the various electronic control mechanisms incorporated in
the Zenza Bronica GS-1. When used incorrectly, there is a possibility of the wrong exposure
being set to the camera and/or the camera not operating.
Be sure to use and store the battery correctly for obtaining optimum performance from it at
all times.
* Take the battery out of the battery chamber when storing the camera.
* Leaving the battery in the camera for a long time, without using it, can lead to leakage
problems and result in poor contact. Discard a battery with leakage or corrosion and thor-
oughly clean out the battery chamber before inserting a new battery.
* Clean the contacts of the battery chamber and battery with a soft cloth. Don't use sand-
paper or emery cloth.
* Don't throw the battery into a fire, or hit it strongly, as there is danger of explosion.
* Either a silver oxide battery (No. 544/PX28/4G13) or an alkaline manganese battery
(A544/4LR44) is used with the Zenza Bronica GS-1. Both have very good cold weather resist-
ance. However, there is a tendency for performance to drop when the temperature falls
below 0º C (32º F). Therefore, make it a rule to use a new battery and/or keep replacement
batteries on hand for shooting outdoors in freezing weather. Keep the battery (and camera)
under cover, next to the body, and load just before beginning the session and/or, preferably,
use the optional Remote Camera Battery Pack E.
