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.

9. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene adversely affects your camera and films. Avoid keeping your camera or films in a chest.
