Common Sense Camera Care
1. Although your camera is designed for many years of service, it is electronic and
requires careful handling. Avoid exposing it to shock, moisture or physical abuse.
1) If you use your camera at the beach or in a light rain, protect it from moisture.
Do not let your camera get wet. Be particularly careful to avoid sand and salt
spray at the beach.
2) Dropping your camera or letting it strike a hard surface could result in damage
even if the camera was in a case. Never subject the camera to vibration such as
in the trunk of a car. Never keep your camera in the trunk or the glove compart-
ment of a car-as the heat build-up can damage it.
2. Your camera is computer-controlled. If you should experience incorrect operation,
remove the batteries and then reload them.
3. If you will not be using your camera, store it where it will be safe from heat, mois-
ture, dust and harmful gases such as those caused by moth balls and moth flakes.
4. Never store the camera in a closed automobile.
5. It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras containing film be carried
as hand luggage when flying. If included in checked-in baggage, X-ray inspec-
tions may cause overprinting or other effects.
6. Remove soil and dust from the lens, the AF windows and the viewfinder with an air
blower and by wiping lightly with a piece of soft clothes. If that is not enough, wipe
off gently with Lens Cleaning Paper, moistened slightly with Lens Cleaning Liquid.
Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol and benzene.
7. Dust and debris in the film compartment can scratch the film. Use a blower brush
to clean it.
8. Load and remove film away from direct sunlight.
9. The operating temperature range of the camera is from –10°C to +40°C.
10. Since batteries do not work well in cold weather, warm the batteries by placing
inside your garments, etc. before use. A battery that is not working well due to cold
will work again when the temperature is return to normal.
With a few common sense precautions, your camera will give you years of faithful ser-
vice, great pleasure and wonderful pictures.
