Only at one speed, 1/60th. There's a separate mechanical shutter trip on the
exposure lock button.

For many users the battery dependency wasn't an issue, because when an MD4's
fitted the camera takes its power from the battery pack in the motor drive
(saving the internal camera battery).

"There are only two services that images can offer the afflicted. One is to
find the story that expresses the truth of their affliction. The second is
to find the words that can give resonance, through the crust of external
circumstances, to the cry that is always inaudible: "Why am I being hurt?"
