Camera body and lens
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body or lens. Never use chemically treated cloth or volatile
solvents such as paint thinner.
Video heads
• Clean the video heads only when necessary, preferably using Canon’s CC-8 Video Head Cleaning
Cassette.
• Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette as this can cause damage.
Storage
If you do not intend to use the camera for some time, store it in an area which is free of dust and moisture,
and where the temperature is no higher than 86 °F (30 °C). After storage, check each part and function of
your camera to make sure everything is still working properly.
Condensation
Condensation may form on the camera when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Using the
camera while condensation is present can damage both the tape and the camera.
Maintenance
Viewfinder
• To clean the viewfinder screen push the
viewfinder up and press down the small catch to
release the rubber eyecup that you can then slide
off.
• Clean the viewfinder screen with a commercially
available blower brush.
• Replace the eyecup by sliding it, until it clicks
back into position.
