3 Checking the Batteries
If the voltage is insufficient the camera will not wOrk properly. You
should not fail to check the batteries from time to time.
• Turn the switch dial to "R", push the battery check button and read the
needle in the check window.
• When the needle points to the blue zone, there is enough voltage and you
can use any technique. Single frame shooting, slow-motion and shooting at
24 fps are properly performed when the meter needle is in the blue zone;
in the white zone, the voltage is enough only to run the film at 18 fps.
When the needle is in the red zone, the voltage is not enough and you
should change the batteries.
• Even when the camera works with the needle in the red zone, the voltage
is not enough to operate the exposure system properly, so be sure to
change them.

Changing the Batteries
• Choose four high-quality penlight batteries (Size AA) of the same
brand and change them all at the same time.
• When the camera is not in use, keep the switch dial at "OFF" to prevent
the camera from undesired operation.
• When the camera is going to be kept unused for a long time, be sure to
remove the batteries and keep them in a dry place.

Eyepiece Adjustment
• Look into the viewfinder while directing the camera to a bright
subject. Rotate the eyepiece adjustment ring till you can see the lines of
the prism screen clearly in the center of the viewfinder.
• Without adjusting the eyepiece to your individual eyesight, you cannot
focus correctly.
• Adjustable range is from -3 to +2 diopters.
