Good to know
No battery needed: the shooting functions and the selenium light meter work without one. [4]
You have to transfer the light meter readings to the shutter and lens by hand. [2]
Only change shutter speeds with the shutter cocked, and never turn the speed dial across the range between 1/30 s and 1 s. [2]
