OK, I got my new 'ebay' IS-3 in the mail.  I think I know why I got it
cheap.  Doesn't seem to actually work.  Course, I don't have a book, so I'm
lost.

I put in a new set of Varta batteries (why in the heck did they use these
weird, expensive batteries? -- rechargeable AAs make more sense).

I set the date (that seems to work).

I turned it on and the zoom worked, briefly.  Zoomed in and out and stuck
out.

When I open the back and close it, the auto load seems to make noises.

I haven't tried film in it yet.

Am I doing something obvious wrong?

Tom
