Col. Funk Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Morning all, I've had my super-8 camera for about a year now, and i've just had to replace the batteries for the light meter for the first time. The problem is that they use px-625 batteries that (because they contain mercury) are no longer sold. Has anyone else experienced this problem (I imagine so)? What did you do? I'm in a little bit of a pickle, and I really don't want to have to stop shooting super 8 or buy another camera (i'm using a Braun Nizo camera at the mo', although I don't know what model it is). Any help would be appreciated, Gracias The Colonel.
Matt Wells Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Try asking this same question here: www.filmshooting.com and click on the forum. I know that this question has been asked and answered before there on a number of occasions. Matt
Col. Funk Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 Thanks, it seems like the hearing-aid battery is the best way to go (rather than replacing the wein batteries every couple of months). Has anyone done it? I', a little concerned in that my camera takes 2 batteries and i'm worried about the extra 0..5 volts pushing the light-meter too far and ruining all my shots. Gracias The Colonel.
Dan Salzmann Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Great reason to learn to use an external light meter which is far better anyway.
