Fitting the mercury batterY:
To actuate the light meter, insert the mercury
battery (1.3V) correctly into the battery compartment at the bottom of the camera.
1. Fit a coin into the slot on the cover of
the battery compartment and turn the
cover counter-clockwise for removal.
2. Put in the battery, as illustrated, so that
the (*) end of the battery faces outwards,
and screw in the cover firmly.
When the battery runs out, its performance
fails sharply and the light meter ceases to
function. Take care to replace the battery
after about one year of use.
When you forget to insert the battery, the
shutter does not work even if you press the
shutter button under adequate light.
Recommendable battery replacements including National M-1D, Toshiba TH-MC,
Mallory RM625, Eveready E625, General No.
625, etc.

Holding the camera properly:
The camera must be held firmly in order to
take good pictures. Shaking leads to unsharp
pictures. Practice until you become fully accustomed to the "feel" of the camera. Squeeze
the release button with the ball, not with the
tip of your finger. You may hold the camera
either vertically or horizontallyas your composition requires.
