A. Red Lamp: When it glows it indicates that: – The dark slide has not been withdrawn. – The camera battery is good. When the dark slide is withdrawn the light will go out. – If then the monitor lamp blinks, accompanied by the electronic warning sound, it shows that the battery is weak and should be replaced. Orange Lamp: When it glows it indicates that: – The cocking lever has not been advanced – The roll film holder has not been advanced (does not apply when in multi exposure “M” mode.) GreenLamp: When it glows it indicates that a Metz flash unit in conjunction with the SCA 396 when attached to the camera has fully charged. NOTE: The SCA 396 functions as a recycle indicator only. TTL flash metering is not responsible with the RZ.
