Introduction |
ItWith these cameras pushing almost 40 years it is not unlikely that you might behave to change a battery. Before assuming that the rangefinder or flash is broken its good to check if the camera just needs a new battery, but before jumping to conclusions, check the battery. There should be a “battery check” button on the top of the camera. Hold down the “battery check” button while looking through the viewfinder window. If the needle points to the battery check zone, then the battery is good to use. However, if the needle is pointing away from the battery check zone, then the battery needs replacement. | | Be careful that you use the appropriate type of battery. The Canon A35F uses one PX-625 type (1.35V) mercury battery and one alkaline manganese penlight (size AA) battery for the flash, so make sure you have one in your possession before you jump into the guide. These batteries can be found on Amazon or EbayeBay, and are pretty cheap. Prices can range from $3-$5, U.S. dollars depending on the amountnumber of batteries you are planning to buy. This guide only requires one PX-625 mercury battery, but it is never a bad idea to have some extra batteries. |
