Good to know

Without a battery, you can still shoot manually at every shutter speed, including B, but there’s no light metering and no shutter priority. [1]

In automatic mode, the camera locks the shutter release when there isn’t enough light. [1]

Electronic flash syncs at all shutter speeds up to 1/500 s. [1]
