Good to know

Without a battery, you can still shoot manually, but the light meter won’t work. [2]

The lens can only be unlocked, turned to the left and pushed in once you’ve advanced the film and cocked the shutter. [2]

When the camera isn’t in use, it’s best to keep it somewhere dark to spare the light meter battery. [2]
