Hi,
And thanks for the reply. Actually I got the manual directly to my
mailbox, thanks Greg!
Do those alkaline cells make same kind of exposure error like in OM-1?
Or is there an internal voltage regulator in the camera, I doubt...
Maybe the second best choice after re-calibration is 1.4V zinc-air
battery like 675?
Regards,
Pekka
