CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Lenses

• When removing dust on the lens

surface, use a soft oil-free brush.

• When removing stains or smudges

like fingerprints from the lens

surface, wipe the lenses very gently

with a soft clean cotton cloth or

quality oil-free lens tissue. Use a

small quantity of pure alcohol (not

denatured) to wipe stubborn

smudges. Do not use velvet cloth

or ordinary tissue, as it may scratch

the lens surface. Once the cloth has

been used for cleaning the body, it

should not be used again for the

lens surface.

Main body

• Clean the body surface with a soft,

clean cloth after blowing away dust

with a blower* lightly. Do not use

benzene, thinner, or other cleaners

containing organic solvents.

* A blower is rubber cleaning

equipment that blows air from a

nozzle.
