The battery in the M6 just runs the meter and that meter is fully manual. You have to light up those 2 Led's yourself by turning the fstops or shutter speed dials. Other cameras are auto in the sense that in effect those 2 led's are already lit up for you. The battery also might run the shutter, hot a swiss clock like mechanical mechanism. Not a radiolilke or computerlike circuit board. And they have to leave room for the micro-ramp for the micro-squirrels to run the micro-motor. Mark Rabiner
