MANUAL SHUTTER OPERATION The silver oxide battery in your KM is used only for powering the exposure meter; the shutter mechanism is a totally manual operation. Therefore, your camera can still be operated even if the battery is worn out. (A good sign of a worn-out battery is that the black meter needle does not move when you remove the lens cap.) If the battery is worn out and the exposure meter is no longer functioning, you must determine the correct combination of shutter speed and aperture size yourself, from your own experience. Also, packed in with most types of 35mm film is a data sheet of suggestions for determining the correct exposure in a variety of situations. \ •23

MANUAL
SHUTTER
OPERATION
The
silver
oxide
battery
in
your
KM
is
used
only
for
powering
the
exposure
meter;
the
shutter
mechanism
is
a
totally
manual
operation.
Therefore,
your
camera
can
still
be
operated
even
if
the
battery
is
worn
out.
(A
good
sign
of
a
worn-out
battery
is
that
the
black
meter
needle
does
not
move
when
you
remove
the
lens
cap.)
If
the
battery
is
worn
out
and
the
exposure
meter
is
no
longer
functioning,
you
must
determine
the
correct
combination
of
shutter
speed
and
aperture
size
yourself,
from
your
own
experience.
Also,
packed
in
with
most
types
of
35mm
film
is
a
data
sheet
of
sugges-
tions
for
determining
the
correct
exposure
in
a
variety
of
situations.
