Does A Film Camera Need Batteries. Yes all Instax cameras need batteries to run although the type of battery will depend on the model you choose. So if you stick in a pack of film and nothing happens chances are the battery in the pack is dead not the camera itself.

The fourth battery is a backup in case one battery fails or if someone forgot to charge a battery overnight. Hi guys Does anybody know what kind of battery used for Pentax ME Super. Dont know how you even could have a light meter in a camera without a battery dont know that you can do that mechanically inside a camera without a separate lightmeter that might be fully mechanical.

First you should be able to wind the camera no need to waste film press the shutter release and see the shutter snap open and close.

I have a couple cameras which are quite similar--the Yashica Electro 35 GSN and the Canon Canonet G-III 17. As you may or may not know vintage Polaroid cameras do not have batteries.
