Battery:
Uses one LR44 battery (included) for the light meter. The camera operates fully mechanically without the battery.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters, we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture, we recommend using an external light meter or taking our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
