Hi All

I've just noticed, after 6 months of ownership (!), that my camera is fitted with the LED that illuminates the frame numbers. However (yes, you guessed it) it does not have a battery. Does anyone know what type of battery is required? I'd really like to not have to point it at the sun to see the numbers or carry a torch...

Thanks.

Sounds a bit more hi-tech than my trusty Fotoman 617 which has a red window instead. Good luck with battery search.

Hey, many thanks for that (I was actually about to email Fotoman!).
