XG-M one of the later film era cameras. Bright viewfinder. Even takes a motor wind.

Needs electronic cable release.

Forgot what batteries it takes. No manual shutter speeds, I believe.

The XG M did have metered shutter speeds.

Took the very common ,then, S76/ LR 44 batteries (x2)

the meter in the viewfinder is actually a shutter speed indicator. so in manual mode the little LEDs that make up the meter will indicate what shutter speed you should set for correct exposure. I think it works this way because they intended the camera to mostly be used in aperture priority mode. It might be the only XG model that allows fully manual shooting. very different from the srt-101 which has a more traditional needle indicator and is completely mechanical.
