General Hints and Precautions
1 Attach the lens cap to protect the lens
whenever you are not shooting.
2 Keep the camera clean. For the glass sur­
faces of the camera, obtain a blower brush
and cleaning fluid and tissue made specially
for camera lenses. First blow off dust with
the blower brush. Then moisten the tissue
with a couple of drops of lens-cleaning fluid
and gently wipe the surface from center to
edges in a circular motion. For non-glass sur­
faces, brush off dust with a blower brush.
Then wipe off smudges with a silicone cloth
or chamois leather. Never use such cloths on
the glass surfaces. The film compartment
also requires gentle cleaning with a blower
brush from time to time to remove film dust
which may scratch the film.
3 The best thing you can do for your camera
is to use it regularly. If you must store it for
quite a while, first remove the batteries. Then
wrap the camera in a clean, soft cloth and
store it in a cool, dry, dust-free area. Always
keep the camera out of direct sunlight and
