Good to know
Without a battery, every shutter speed including B works, and so does the manual film advance, but the light meter and the viewfinder display do not. [4]
The battery powers only the light meter and the viewfinder display; everything else on the camera works without power. [4]
The TTL selective-area metering reads the central 12 percent of the frame. [1]
