Good to know

Without a battery, the shutter only fires at 1/500 s, and you lose both the light meter and the electronically timed speeds. [2]

With the camera set to flash, the shutter speed is fixed at 1/30 s. [1]

When using filters, you need to compensate for the filter factor by setting a correspondingly lower ASA value. [1]
