Care and Storage of the Camera

No matter how exceptional the camera

may be, it will not give you all it can unless it

is taken care of properly. Please make sure to

keep the camera clean all the time. Acquire

a blower brush, cleaning liquid, cleaning

paper, silicone cloth, etc.

Care of the Camera

Dust on the lens or the viewfinder should

first be blown off with a blower brush and

then wiped lightly with cleaning paper im­

pregnated with cleaning liquid. After the

camera has been used on a beach or near the

sea, clean it well because salt can affect its

mechanisms. A blower brush should also be
used to clean the mirror box inside the camera

body. If it should require wiping, by all
means, please take the camera to a Canon

authorized distributor.

The film compartment has to be cleaned

with a blower because it easily collects film
dust. If the dust contains sand, the film is
easily scratched. When cleaning the rail

surface or the pressure plate, please use
cleaning paper and cleaning liquid. Be careful
