Mercury Battery Loading
Before using your Canonet G-III

To open cover of the battery com-
partment, insert a fingernail in the
open slot, sliding the cover in the

slight pull outward, the cover will

Insert the battery on the tab in
the compartment.
• Be sure the mercury battery
is inserted only in the correct
direction.
• A 1.35V M20 (#625) mercury
battery should be used—equivalent
to the Mallory PX-625, or
Eveready EPX-625.
Press cover to close.
Replacing Battery
When replacing the mercury bat-
tery, open the cover of the
mercury battery compartment
and slowly pull out the tab being
careful not to let the battery
drop out.
• When the camera will not be
used for a long period, remove the
battery.
