Questions and Service

When storing your camera for extended periods:
• Always attach the protective caps.
• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from dust and chem-

icals such as naphthalene or moth balls. For long periods of dis-
use, place the camera in an airtight container with a silica-gel dry-
ing agent.

• Periodically release the camera’s shutter to keep it operating prop-

erly.

• Before using after prolonged storage, check the camera’s opera-

tion to make sure it is functioning properly.

Storage

Cleaning

• If the camera or lens barrel is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, clean,

dry cloth. If the camera or lens comes in contact with sand, gently
blow away loose particles - wiping may scratch the surface.

• To clean the lens surface, first brush away any dust or sand then,

gently wipe the lens in a circular motion, starting from the center
with a cloth or tissue designed for optics. Use lens cleaning fluid if
necessary.

• Never place lens fluid directly on the lens.
• Never touch the interior of the camera, especially the shutter and

mirror, doing so may impair their alignment and movement.

• Dust on the mirror will not affect the exposure but may affect the

focus. Use a blower brush to remove dust from or around the mir-
ror.

• Never use compressed air to clean the camera’s interior, it may

damage delicate internal mechanisms.

• Never use organic solvents to clean the camera.
• Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.
