  • Battery: One 6-volt 2CR5 lithium battery; One 3-volt CR2025 lithium battery for Quartz Data Back model
  • Battery Performance (approximately):
    • Flash Use 0%  20°C (68°F) = 45 rolls; -20°C (-4°F) = 15 rolls
    • Flash Use 50% 20°C (68°F) = 20 rolls; -20°C (-4°F) = 10 rolls
    • Flash Use 100% 20°C (68°F) = 13 rolls; -20°C (-4°F) = 5 rolls
  • Based on the following test conditions: 24 exposure roll of film; fresh battery; AF 35-70mm /3.5-4.5 lens; autofocus from infinity to minimum focus distance and back 3 times; shutter-release button held partway down for 10 seconds before shutter release. Battery performance with a 36 exposure roll is reduced by approximately 1/3; If more operations are performed during use, battery performance will be slightly lower. To maximize battery performance, slide the main switch to LOCK when you are not using the camera.
