Good to know

Without a battery, the shutter won’t fire and the motorized film advance won’t work. [1]

The camera sets the film speed from the DX code; film without a DX code is treated as ISO 100. [1]

If rewinding stops because the battery has run flat, put in a fresh battery and let the rewind finish before you open the camera back. [1]
