Simple Camera Care
Camera Care 1. Do not open the film door until you have used up the film; otherwise, the rest of the film is exposed and turns white and the film can no longer be used. 2. Your camera is a fragile object. Do not expose it to water, sand or gritty materials and do not drop. 3. Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or other similar electronic products. These straps are usually too weak to hold your camera securely. For safety, only use straps designed for your camera, and use only as specifically intended and instructed. 4. Do not use solvent such as thinner or alcohol to remove dirt. 5. Do not leave your camera in direct sun, or hot places such as a car. Do not leave it in damp places for long periods. 6. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene may affect your camera and prints. Be careful to keep your camera and prints in a safe, dry place. 7. Note that the temperature range within which your camera can be used is +5 °C to +40 °C. 8. Take great care to ensure that printed materials do not violate copyright, image rights, privacy or other personal rights and do not offend public decency. Actions that violate the rights of others, are contrary to public decency or constitute a nuisance may be punishable by law or otherwise legally actionable.
Handling the LCD Monitor As the LCD monitor can be easily scratched or damaged by sharp or solid objects, we recommend you attach a protective sheet (commercially available) onto the monitor.

“INSTAX mini” Film and Print Care See FUJIFILM Instant Film “INSTAX mini” for film use instructions. Follow all instructions for safe and proper use. 1. Keep the film in a cool place.
