Thanks for all the help!!

Thank you for the explanation! I might try something like that. In the meantime do you know what aperture it would be at by default? Because if I know at least I could still go out and shoot under specific conditions that would be okay with that aperture. Thanks!

Thanks! So I'm turning the dial but in the viewfinder there is no indicator that shows you the aperture. Maybe it uses lights to show you the aperture and that's why it's not showing up without the battery. But thank you for your help!

Hey everyone, I recently bought a Nikon 8x Super Zoom from a thrift store as is. It didn't have any of the battery latches so I was able to rig the main one and the camera works! (Well at least the film advances) The battery compartment for the light meter I can't fix, so I thought it wasn't that big of a deal since I can just use a handheld meter, but after looking online for a while I can't figure out how to change the aperture manually. This might seem like a dumb question, but I see no knobs or buttons for it, or an aperture ring. I have no idea what aperture it is set at now. I never used a super 8 camera before so I am unfamiliar with the format. Thanks so much!
