Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - 10:20 am:        Hi, I found a battery for the Canon (New)F-1 and the shutter speeds are working properly. Aperture Priority Auto Exposure is also working properly. But when I try to use manual metering (match needle) the needle never moves. What can be causing this? Could this happen if the battery is a bit low? Thanks, Ismael   Msiegel Tinkerer Username: Msiegel Post Number: 312 Registered: 03-2008 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

It should be changed when it's under F 5.6 according to the manual. Shutter is said to work accurately as long as there is enough power left to operate it. Info only from manual no personal experience involved. I hope we're talking the same camera. Manual at Butkus: http://www.butkus.org/chinon/canon/canon_f-1/canon_f-1.htm
