To insert the batteries: Turn the battery compartment cover counterclockwise with a coin and remove the cover. Place the batteries in the chamber with polarity markings as shown. Replace the cover, by turning it clockwise until it screws firmly in place. Battery Check: After inserting the batteries, make a quick check to see that the batteries are inserted properly and that the camera's electrical systems are functioning. To check batteries: Press the shutter button partway and observe the viewfinder LED shutter speed display. One of the shutter speed LEDs between "1000" and "1" will glow continuously if the voltage supply for the camera's exposure system is adequate. Low Battery Warning: When batteries become too weak for the exposure system to operate, the viewfinder shutter LEDs will begin to flicker.* Although the camera will continue to make accurate exposures until the display goes out completely, both batteries should be replaced promptly at this point to ensure uninterrupted operation. • 8
