ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY TUTORIAL: BATTERY CHANGE

Basic steps: How to insert a battery into a Yashica FX-3 (Super 2000), Contax 139 Quartz, Yashica FR-I In my first video about the Yashica FX-3 we didn’t open the battery hilt with a silver as it is ostensible to be, it was a rsther than spontanous video, we longed for to take some cinema with it, so prior to we extrinsic the 35mm movie cartridge we put my video camera to movie it. In this new video we goal that you can see it better! Sometimes a video can be clearer than an oparting direction booklet, and many times there one cannot even find one for these old, but but excellent analog SLR cameras. The Yashica FX-3 and the Contax 139 Quartz (along with the Yashica models FX-1, FX-2, FX-7 and FX-D Quartz and others) need 2 x 1,55V silver-oxide (SR44) or 2 x 1,5V containing alkali (LR44) batteries. The Yashica FR-I (along with the FR and the FR-II and the Contax RTS & RTS II) requires a 6V silver-oxide 544 or PX28 battery.
