last for about a half year, and the silver
oxide batteries for about one year.

When the temperature is extremely low.

Q : I pressed the shutter release button with the

selector dial at the "OFF" position. Will the

photograph be properly exposed?

A : Even at the "OFF" position, the camera's

circuits will be activated for a proper ex-

posure. Recommended to develop the film

and see.

Q : When set at the "AUTO" position, the actual

shutter speed is much slower than the one

indicated in the viewfinder. Why does this

happen?

A : If film is not loaded or the film surface is

not properly positioned behind the shutter,

the speed will be slower than that indicated

in the viewfinder.

Q : What batteries should I use?
A : Use two 1.5V alkaline-manganese batteries

LR44 (A76) or two silver oxide batteries

SR44 (Eveready EPX-76 or equivalents).

Batteries of a different type (1.3V mercury

batteries) cannot be used, though they may

be of the same size.

Q : A shadow appears darkening the central area

of the viewfinder. Why does this happen?

A : This is quite usual when a lens with a maxi-

mum aperture smaller than F5 is mounted

on the camera, and the preview button is

pressed with the diaphragm closed down

beyond F5. There is nothing wrong with

the microprism.

Q : If I return the selector lever to the ON posi-

tion, while the self-timer in operation, what
will become of the shutter?

A : The shutter will be released. After the use of

the self-timer, make it a point to return the

selector lever to original position.

Q : While I was operating the Winder 2, the light

in the viewfinder went out... why?

A : The light goes out in 90 sec. even the selector

lever is ON, in order to save the batteries from

unnecessary consumption. Touch the ac-

tivator switch lightly, and the light is on

again.
