CAMERA BODY (Fig. 48)
The camera body contains the mechanical
and electrical componets for camera opera-
tion. The lower section (B) contains compart-
ments for the batteries, fuse, and motor. The
upper section (A) contains the mode selector,
focusing screen, mirror, and auxiliary shut-
ter. The camera body is equipped with fix-
tures for viewfinders, lenses, and film maga-
zines plus sockets for camera release and
battery rechargers.
BATTERIES (Figs. 49—50)
The camera is operated by a battery-powered
motor (C). Rechargeable DEAC 5/600 DKZ
batteries (nickel-cadmium accumulators) are
used. The battery compartment (B) holds two
batteries. Each battery is good for about
1,000 exposures.
Battery insertion
Use a coin in the slot to turn the battery com-
partment cover catch (27)—the slot should
then be vertical. The battery compartment
cover (26) then unlocks at the rear end and
can be removed.
Insert each battery with the '+' end first. The
battery compartment cannot be closed if a
battery has been inserted incorrectly.
The camera cannot be released, nor the
batteries charged until the battery compart-
ment cover has been closed.
Fuse
A 1.6 A medium slow-blow fuse (5 x 20 mm)
must be used in the fuse receptacle (D). AI-
ways have a spare fuse on hand. Spare fuses
can be stored in the three receptacles (E).
