I personally only recommend using "Duracell" Batteries which are by far the most reliable. Some Cameras have a separate Battery for the Auto Aperture, but some don't. You can check the Battery Compartment to figure it out. As Alessandro said, you really need to point between a bright light and dark to see the needle move. You can point to the sky, and use your hand to cover over the Lens to see if the Aperture moves. You can also point a Flashlight in the Lens to check for Aperture movement. Also, verify to make sure if there is an "off" position -- usually a lock position for the Switch. On my Sankyo, if the Switch is not "locked" in the "off" position, power continues to be supplied to the Auto Aperture even though the Camera Motor isn't on.
Can anyone tell me what the r and rl stand for? They are on one of the dials. Thanks
