Good to know

Without a battery, all shutter speeds and B still work mechanically, but the light meter and the LED display do not. [6]

When you’re not using the camera, lock the shutter release so the meter isn’t accidentally left switched on. [1]

With lenses that lack the matching Fujica aperture coupling, the camera meters at working aperture (stop-down metering). [1]
