This camera originally used RM-640 mercury batteries which are no longer available.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Minolta Hi-Matic F is a lightweight and very compact 35mm rangefinder from the 1970s. It's nearly as easy to use as a point-and-shoot but, in our experience, will give you a higher percentage of good photos (a rangefinder can't be 'fooled' like a point-and-shoot's autofocus).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Minolta 20 flash (guide no 20 meter\/32 feet at ISO 100) is the perfect size for this camera. It includes a case with attaches to the Hi-Matic F's strap. The camera's flash mode is very clever and easy to use: when the flash is attached, the aperture is automatically adjusted based on the distance of the subject (see the manual linked below for more info).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Hi-Matic F requires two 357 silver oxide batteries (optional) and the Minolta 20 flash requires two AA batteries (not included). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera and flash were film-tested and gave sharp, correctly exposed photos.
