Loading The Battery; Battery Checking; Attachment And Removal Of Film Backs - Zenza Bronica ETRS User Manual

1. Loading the Battery

The electronically controlled shutter will not work without loading the battery.
The shutter will be mechanically controlled when the battery is not loaded or when it is
loaded with its polarity marks reserved. It will then be released at 1/500 sec., regardless of
the setting on the shutter speed dial.
Your camera is supplied with an alkaline battery. For longer performance we recommend a
silver oxide battery (Eveready No. 544, UCAR No. 544 or Duracell No. PX-28.)

3. Attachment and Removal of Film Back
The film back is a film chamber that can be attached or detached freely, thus permitting free
exchange of film types even during shooting sessions.
The camera main body and film back are fully coupled, upon connection. Therefore, always
turn the film-winding crank completely one time, upon attaching the film back. If winding is
not possible, all preparations for taking pictures have been completed. But, if winding is
possible, rotating the film winding crank until it stops will automatically take care of the
incomplete action, whether un-cocked shutter or film not advanced. Thus, it's always possi-
ble to choose the film type most suited for the shot, even midway in the roll.
A. Depress the battery chamber button with your finger and at the
same time, move the battery chamber cover in the arrow-indicated
direction. The cover will come off easily.
B. Coincide the plus (+) and minus (-) marks on the battery with similar
polarity indications in the battery chamber. Then, push the negative
end of the battery first and follow with the positive end. Insert the
BATTERY end of the battery chamber cover, which also has a mark
coinciding to that on the body. Then move the cover in the other
direction (opposite to the arrow indication) until it locks in place.
If a red colored LED lights up in the left-rear corner (of the waist-level
finder) when the battery check button is pressed, the battery is loaded
properly and there is sufficient power for electronic operations.
* If the LED does not light up, (1) the battery is not loaded properly or
(2) it is completely drained.
