Good to know

Without a battery, all shutter speeds and B still work, but the light meter does not. [1]

For electronic flash, the flash symbol setting, at roughly 1/40 s, is the one to use. [1]

To take a meter reading, hold down the metering button and align the needle in the viewfinder by adjusting the shutter speed or aperture. [1]
