GENERAL INFORMATION
Please read the section about “Care/Storage” for more information
about what to do in case of problems.
CAMERA/LENS
• Make a note of the serial numbers of your camera and lenses, as
this information will be extremely important in case of loss.
• Depending on model, you will find the serial number of your cam-
era on the flash shoe or engraved in the underside of the camera.
• Make sure to always have a lens or the camera bayonet cover
attached to prevent dust or other foreign bodies penetrating the
camera.
• That is why you should always replace lenses quickly and in a
dust-free environment.
• Never store the camera bayonet cover or the lens back cover in a
pants pocket, as they will attract lint and dust, which could then
be accidentally introduced into the camera.
BATTERY
• Always remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an
extended period of time.
• Dispose of damaged batteries in accordance with the relevant
regulations at an approved collection point for proper recycling.
• Oxidation of the battery exterior can interrupt the power circuit
and cause the LEDs to turn off. The batteries must in this case be
removed and cleaned with a clean cloth. It may also be necessary
to clean the contacts inside the camera.
FILM
• Ensure that the ISO value of the film is set correctly on the ISO
setting dial.
• Have your exposed film developed directly.
