Questions and answers

Q: What kind of batteries should I use?

A:Use two 3V lithium batteries (DL123A or CR123A). Do not mix new and old batteries at the same time. Change them both at the same time.

Q: How long will the battery last?

A:If you use 24-exposure rolls of film and expose half of all your pictures with flash, two new 3V lithium batteries (DL 123A/CR123A) will allow you to take 30 or more rolls of film. If you do not use flash and zoom so often, the batteries will last much longer.
