Good to know

Without a battery, the camera still fires mechanically at 1/100 s on the 100X setting and on B, but the meter won’t work. [1]

The camera takes two 1.5 V button cells. [1]

When loading film, the manual recommends using the 100X setting so that long automatic exposures don’t slow down the film advance. [1]
