I've confirmed that the batteries can be inserted, the shutter fires, and the light meter operates, but I'm not sure how accurate they are. When looking through the viewfinder, there's a black streak running vertically. I don't know if it's mold or dirt, or if it can be cleaned, as I'm a novice. I will ship the camera with the batteries inserted.
