I can't say with any certainty what the function of the button is, but there are two functions that were common on cameras of this class from this era:
- Battery check - it would likely light one of the meter light or one on the outside (white rectangle next to the eyepiece?).
- Back light compensation - would cause the metering system to increase the exposure by ~1.5-2 stops.

Thanks for your replies. I put in a stronger battery and tried the battery check button and it worked.

Looks like Honeywell was in the business of rebadging cameras in the mid 70's I assume. Picked this Honeywell Visitronic 915 camera up a few years ago after reading an article that supposedly there were only 10 in existence.
Don't know about the exact # but it appears to be an exceeding rare rebadged Zeiss-Ikon 312 down to the Carl Zeiss 40/2.8 Tessar.
Brand new in original box and I doubt it was ever used.
