Good to know

Without a battery, the shutter fires at about 1/250 s; the automatic exposure and the indicators don’t work. [1]

Plugging a flash cable into the sync socket automatically sets the camera to 1/30 s. [1]

A screw-in filter also covers the CdS metering cell, so there’s no need to apply an extra filter factor correction. [1]
