Like it's no big deal and you just carry right on until you have a break to install new batteries which of course we always have right there in your pocket for every type of battery required camera you use. ;-) Yeah right! ;-) - --- 1. "Carry right on" as long as you are able to shoot at one of the two available manual speeds. 2. And, not to try to remind the old dog of the rules he probably wrote, but come on, Ted, - new day of shooting - fresh batteries in the camera. Or, tape the damn batteries to the strap. B. D. Who NEVER makes stupid mistakes himself. ;-) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
