Battery Loading
As this camera will not operate without batteries,
batteries must be loaded before checking its opera
tion. Six penlight batteries (size AA) loaded in the
grip are all that are needed for film drive, light
metering and recording. To load the batteries, insert
the edge of a coin into the slot on the bottom part
of the grip and rotate to "OPEN". The battery
compartment cover will come off. Load the bat
teries according to the diagram on the outside of the
grip. Make sure their poles are in the right direc
tions. Incorrect loading of the batteries can lead to
dangerous short-circuits. Replace the cover, making
sure it is in the right direction, and turn to the
"CLOSE" position. If the cover is facing the wrong
way, it cannot be locked. DO NOT force the lock
past the "OPEN" or "CLOSE" position. When
changing batteries, replace all at the same time with
6 new batteries, all of the same brand.
For shooting in cold places. Alkaline or Ni-Cd
batteries are highly recommended. When you shoot
in temperatures below 0°C, Ni-Cd batteries are espe
cially recommended. The External Power Pack,
which can be kept warm in your pocket, can also be
used.
