flash or start a long exposure unintentionally.

· The film is not loaded correctly if the rewind knob does not rotate when

advancing the film.

· The film advance lever does not move when the film is already advanced

or when the entire roll of film has been exposed. Do not forcefully turn it.

· Do not forcefully advance the film beyond the designated frames (num-

ber of shots specified for the film × 2). (Example: For 24-shot film, do not

advance it more than 48 frames.) Doing so can tear the film or cause it to

break partway through the roll.

Handling Precautions

Before Using Your Camera
· When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important photos (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of taken photos cannot be guaranteed if photo development, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

· Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the

4

camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

· Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to

protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.

· Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of

the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove it after tem-

peratures of the camera and surroundings are equalized.

· Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt. These could

cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.

· The camera is not water resistant, so it cannot be used in places where it will get wet,

such as in the rain.

· Do not leave the camera for long periods of time in direct sunlight with film left inside.

Doing so may expose the film.

· Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a tripod.

Cleaning Your Camera
· Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, and benzine. · Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use a spray blower for
cleaning as it may damage the lens. · Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high per-
formance.

Appendix

Storing Your Camera
· Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera. Store it in a dry and well-ventilated place.
· Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
· Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

Warranty Policy
All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve months from the date of your purchase. Service will be rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the camera does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is strictly lim-
4 ited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No refunds will be made on repairs
by non-authorized service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If there are no representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the camera to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the camera can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the camera is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the camera is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your camera for at least a year. Before sending your camera for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
· This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory rights. · The local warranty policies available from our distributors in some countries can
supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time of purchase, or contact our distributor in your country for more information and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.
