situations, always dry the camera thoroughly (and slowly) at room
temperature and, then, store in a cool, dry location. Remember
that failure 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 impor­
tant shooting assignment, test your camera (including changing
batteries, if necessary) for proper operation.
• Observe normal battery handling procedures for maximum per­
formance at all times. Be sure to: Clean batteries periodically
(wiping with a rough cloth will remove residues that might other­
wise impede performance); install batteries properly, checking for
proper polarity; remove batteries when not using the equipment
for an extended period; 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 performance, refer to the original manu­
facturer.
