CAMERA CARE

  1. Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not get it wet or drop it. Also, do not expose to sand.
  2. Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or other similar electronic products. Ihese straps are usually too weak to hold your camera securely. For safety, use only straps designed for cameras.
  3. When using a tripod, check the strength of the tripod and then mount the camera by turning the tripod instead of the camera body. When  mounting the camera to a tripod, be sure not to turn the tripod screw excessively, apply unreasonable force, etc. Also, do not carry the camera while it is mounted to the tripod. Personal injury or camera damage may result.
  4. If you are not using your camera for along interval, unload the batteries and keep it where it will be safe from heat, dust, and moisture.
  5. Remove soil and dust from the lens, viewfinder window, etc. with an air blower and by wiping lightly with a piece of soft cloth.
  6. Donot use solvent such as thinner and alcohol to remove soil.
  7. Keep the film chamber and camera interior clean to avoid damaging films.
  8. In hot weather, do not leave your camera in a closed car or on the beach, and do not leave it in moist places for many hours.
  9. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene adversely affects your camera and films. Avoid keeping your camera or films in a chest.
  10. Your camera is computer-controlled so it seldom, if ever, will it work incorrectly. If you should experience incorrect operation, remove the batteries and then reload it.

  3. If the film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low, place it in the normal temperature for a while before starting to take pictures.
  4. Be sure to use the film before it expires.
