Loading
the
Battery
This camera will not function without
battery power.
A
6V
silver oxide battery
is
loaded into the battery chamber after opening
the battery chamber cover. It can
be
opened
more easily by using the viewfinder cover that
is
inserted into the accessory shoe.
Be careful to load the battery correctly
with the
"+"
side up as indicated in the
diagram. Load the
banery by inserting first
the
"-"
contact in the battery chamber.
The battery can be unloaded in a similar way
by pulling
it
out from the top. The battery
can
be
loaded and unloaded more easily
when the lens
is
dismounted. The battery
should
last
for approximately one year under
normal use. Refer to page
77
about the
details of the banery when the camera
is
used
in extremelv cold conditions.
