Removing the Battery
The battery chamber's built-in ejector-type mechanism
makes for easier removal operation when removing/
replacing the battery. To remove the battery from the
camera, take off the lens and lock up the mirror as
mentioned previously. Then, while holding the camera
upside-down, release the battery chamber lid and push
it slightly toward the back of the mirror box until the
battery drops free of the chamber. After removing the
battery, install a fresh one as explained previously.
Checking the Battery
The EL2 is provided with a special circuit that enables
the photographer to check the battery power condition
without causing excessive battery drain which might
occur by having to turn the camera on. To check bat-
tery power, simply depress the power check button
and watch the power check lamp for indication of the
power level. If the check lamp glows, battery power is
sufficient. If the lamp fails to glow, battery positioning
should be checked;
then,
if the lamp still fails to glow,
replace the battery.
Note:
When checking battery power, hold the button depressed
only long enough for the check lamp to glow; prolonged de-
pressing only serves to drain battery power.
