perature and, then, store in a cool, dry location. Remember that fail­
ure to dry out the camera may result in the growth of fungus on lens
surfaces—a condition that will render your camera useless.
• Should your camera be accidently dropped on the floor or in water,
take it to your dealer immediately for servicing. Thorough servicing
can be guaranteed only at an authorized dealer.
• Always store the camera in an ever-ready case or compartment case
when not in use. And be sure that the lens cap is attached to the lens.
Do not leave film in the camera for a long period of time, and never
store the camera with the shutter or self-timer cocked.
• Never lubricate any part of the camera. Lubrication should be left
to an authorized service center. Prior to a holiday trip or important
shooting assignment, test your camera (including changing batteries,
if necessary) for proper operation.
• Observe normal battery handling procedures for maximum perform­
ance at all times. Be sure to: Clean batteries periodically (wiping with
a rough cloth will remove residues that might otherwise impede per­
formance); install batteries properly, checking for proper polarity;
remove batteries when not using the equipment for an extended peri­
od; change weak batteries promptly to prevent leakage within the
camera; store unused batteries properly (in a cool, dry location) to
maximize service life; dispose of batteries properly (do not burn); and
keep out of the reach of children. For details regarding battery per­
formance, refer to the original manufacturer.
