Troubleshooting

Notes on Batteries

• Use four AA-type alkaline-manganese or lithium batteries

Two 3V lithium batteries (CR123A or DL123A) can be used with optional 3V
Lithium Battery Holder MS-13. With Multi-Power High Speed Battery Pack
MB-15, six 1.5V alkaline-manganese or lithium batteries, or Ni-MH battery MN-15
can be used to power the F100.
• Change the batteries well before the end of their life and prepare spare batteries

before important photographic occasions.

• Turn the camera power off when changing batteries

Turn the camera power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries with
+ and – ends positioned correctly.
• Stains on the battery poles may cause lack of contact. Wipe the batteries well

with a dry cloth before installing.

• Use fresh batteries at low temperatures

Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not
function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low
temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately.
• Film advance speed lowers and number of usable film roll becomes less at low

temperatures. However, battery power may recover when the temperature
returns to normal.

• Do not throw batteries into a fire or short circuit batteries

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not short, disassemble, heat or charge
batteries.

WARNING

Do not leave

Keep batteries out of children’s
reach.

If someone accidentally swallows batteries,
call a doctor immediately.
