Theres 2 batterys in the camera, one for the date back a CR20** and the main battery, if you take the main one out the roll number is reset to zero and a few other custom settings, I would think that the exposure data would be lost as well.
While we on MZS's anyone know why it displays a small "s" when I have my K50 f2 on it?
