testing a land camera after throwing in the battery

note at the end i flicked it over to the light, so i can get the shutter to go ahead and close again:)

point being--if the battery works, then the camera will adjust shutter speed time to accommodate for the light. otherwise, you'll always get a single click .

1) set camera to 75
2) shoot inside somewhere. you'll get one click until enough light's passed through to expose the shot...i don't know the maximum time and it probably varies per camera. moving the cam to a spot with a buncha light while you keep the shutter pressed will close it back up though (if the battery's good).

if it's not working: make sure you've cleaned the contacts *well*, also make sure you're using the correct battery!
