Batteries

Alright, now for a potentially appalling doubt,

Can I change the batteries on my ME Super halfway through my film roll?

The camera is in eerily pristine condition, accurate light meter readings and all, so I started shooting right away. After noticing that the LED indicators for OVER and UNDER have a slight flicker, I have now read it could help using new batteries.

Thank you.

There is no memory to lose. All the settings are through switch positions.

So you can change the batteries at any time. You can even shoot with the mechanical shutter without batteries at 125th second.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I figured this was most likely the case.
