Camera Care
• Cleaning camera body
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the camera body and clean it with
a soft, clean cloth. After using the camera near seawater, wipe the camera body
with a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with pure water to remove salt, and then
dry it with a dry cloth.
• Cleaning mirror and lens
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the mirror or lens. To remove
fingerprints or smudges from the lens’ surface, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens
tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner.
• Do not subject the camera or lens to strong vibration or shock
Do not drop the camera body and lens or allow them to impact against a hard
surface as this may damage their precision mechanisms.
• Do not touch the shutter curtains
The shutter is made of very thin curtains. Do not hold, poke, or blow strongly with
a blower brush. Doing so may scratch, deform or tear the shutter curtains.
• Avoid strong electric or magnetic fields
The camera may not function properly in strong electric or magnetic fields, such as
near a transmitter tower. Avoid using the camera in such locations.
• Store the camera in a cool, dry place
Store the camera in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew.
Keep it away from naphthalene or camphor (moth repellent), electrical appliances
that generate magnetic fields, or excessive heat such as inside a vehicle during the
summer or near a heater.
• Avoid extreme temperature change
Extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the camera body.
When taking the camera to a very hot place from a very cold place, or vice versa,
place it inside an airtight container such as a plastic bag and leave it inside the bag
for a while to expose the camera gradually to the temperature change.
WARNING
Do not use
NEVER use organic solvents such
as thinner or benzene near the F6.
Doing so could cause a fire or health
hazard, and damage the camera.
