Hello fellow APUG members.
This is the first time I am asking for technical help here and I am quite desperate at the moment.
I was out taking pictures of the cityscape at night with my F5 on which the batteries went too low to fire the shutter (17 degrees C, relatively fresh Duracell Plus batteries), so I took out my trusty F4 with the MB-21 battery pack installed with good Duracell Pro batteries. The finder did light up but the bottom display only showed two horizontal bars. On the first image, the shutter fired and locked with the film being exposed, mirror up and lens stopped down. Fresh, warm batteries did not help when I found my way home.
EDIT: The camera was set in "Time" mode :confused:
