X-

(LCD) shows the shutter speed. These
displays indicate that the batteries have
been properly installed and their power
is

does not appear but the
LCD
does, check
battery installation

the finder's batteries with a fresh set.

the red

both
of
the focus indicators
(two red LED arrows) will light up.
