Good to know

Without a battery, you can’t take any pictures. [2]

Automatic film speed detection only supports ISO 100 and ISO 400. [1]

The manual calls for replacing the O-ring and the back cover seal after two years at the latest, or every year if the camera is often used in sand, dust or underwater. [2]
