<< The manual is dated 1082 and says quite clearly that the system
defaults to normal OTF exposure if the shutter is tripped with the selector
lever in the OFF position. However, the exposure will be limited to 1/30
sec to "save battery exhaustion". >>
I think that there is a difference between no batteries and "off" position.
Chris correctly described the "off" position functioning. With no batteries
or dead batteries, however, the mirror goes up but the shutter electromagnets
don't work.
