Caution: Do not touch the mirrors with your bare fingers. Wear gloves
to reduce the risk of damaging the mirrors or polarizing filters. If you
accidentally touch a mirror or polarizing filter with your bare fingers,
see
Preventive Maintenance starting on page 53 for cleaning
instructions.
Caution: When removing or replacing a filter or C-clip filter retainer, do
not use a sharp tool . Use several layers of lens paper and your finger or
a cotton swab to remove and replace filters and clips. Using a sharp
instrument, such as a flat screwdriver, will scratch the filter surface and
make it unusable.
