stu dall Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I have recently bought the above camera with 4 lenses. I have downloaded the manual, and have had a reasonable look through it. My question is that there is absolutely no information in the viewfinder at all, as regards the battery level etc. I have put a brand new battery in, and double checked that it's the right way round. I'm hoping there's a simple explanation, but I just can't see the answer. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmuir Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 The battery Icon in the viewfinder/focussing screen only blinks when the battery is LOW. If the red light stays on it means the darkslide is inserted and the battery is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btmuir Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Did you not download the manual off www.butkus.org? all the info is there, the pdf doesn't allow copy & paste so I cant insert the info here easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil ted Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Are you talking about the pentaprisim or or the waist level viewfinder. The waist level finder has no info unless you forgot the dark slide or a dead battery. I'm sure if your saying the camera is not working. If it is working just carry a spare battery and enjoy the simplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmuir Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Forgot to mention you need to depress the shutter button halfway to get the idiot lights to activate. There is also a safety collar around the shutter button, make sure it is lined up with the white dot. All this info is in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
