Good to know

Without a battery, you can still shoot at every shutter speed; only the light meter stops working. [1]

Metering is done stopped down, by pressing the metering button. [1]

For electronic flash, set the shutter speed dial to the flash symbol; the manual gives this as about 1/125 s. [1]
