Good to know

Without a battery, every mechanical shutter speed including B works, but the light meter does not. [1]

After mounting a coupled lens, turn the aperture ring first to the smallest aperture and then to the widest, so the meter can register the lens’s maximum aperture. [1]

To switch the meter off, push the film advance lever all the way in against the body. [1]
