Good to know

Without a battery, the mechanical shutter still works at every speed and on B, but there’s no metering. [4]

Between 1/60 s and 1/1000 s, you can also set the shutter speed dial to intermediate positions. [1]

Insert the batteries with the negative terminal facing the battery compartment cover. [1]
