The easiest way is to open the back, next time you change film, and remove the battery that is in the back itself. Another way is to push the mode(?) button until it displays a line of dashes.
Len --- Hi Shel/Listers, Good (core) advice - and thanks to everyone who responded to my question. When (in a 'former' life;) I sold specialty audio (the 'low' end of the 'high' - not 'Hind' - end), I stressed the almost alchemical nature of blending separate components to achieve a "Gestalt' result, where the (sonic) result of the pieces exceeded the (discrete) sum of the system 'parts'...I understand the same philosophy holds true in photography (and elsewhere). I have not, as yet, learned how to develop B&W film - however, I look forward to doing so, hopefully soon after my graduate work is complete (in six weeks)... A 'mundane' question if I may, for those who might know - how does one disable the 'Databack' function on the ZX-5n? I can find nothing in the manual about doing so - and can anyone recommend a good 'Guide' text for this camera (apart from the 'manual' resource)?
