Good to know

Without a battery, the shutter fires at 1/500 s, and neither the light meter nor the automatic shutter speed control works. [2]

Setting the exposure ring to the flash mark gives you a fixed shutter speed of 1/30 s. [1]

The accessory shoe has no electrical flash contact, so flash units are connected with a sync cable. [2]
