Loading the Batteries

A single 6 volt silver oxide battery or alkaline-manganese battery is required for the electronic control lens shutter. The

electronically-controlled shutter system will not work without loading the battery. The shutter will be mechanically

controlled when the battery is not loaded and will be released at 1/500 sec., regardless of the setting on the shutter speed

dial.

Six 1.5 volt AA-size alkalinemanganese or NiCd batteries are required for the motor drive system.

However, the performance noted in the specifications will not be possible when manganese batteries are used because of

their electrical characteristics.

*The batteries noted may be obtained at any photographic equipment or electrical applianceshop.
