The F3 shutter is electronic.
If the batteries are removed or dead, there is a separate release button
coupled with the self timer lever that will release the shutter at the flash
sync speed (1/50th I think).
So you can still use it, but only at one shutter speed.

but the shutter would work when the battery gave out?
