the camera thoroughly (and slowly) at room temperature and, then, store in a cool,
dry location. Remember that failure to dry out the camera may result in the growth
of fungus on lens surfaces—a condition that will render your camera useless.
• Should your camera be accidently dropped on the floor or in water, take it to your
dealer immediately for servicing. Thorough servicing can be guaranteed only at
an authorized dealer.
• always store the camera in an ever-ready case or compartment case when not in
use. And be sure that the lens cap is attached to the lens. Do not leave film in the
camera for a long period of time, and never store the camera with the shutter or
self-timer cocked.
• Never lubricate any part of the camera. Lubrication should be left to an autho-
rized service center. Prior to a holiday trip or important shooting assignment, test
your camera (including changing batteries, if necessary) for proper operation.
• Observe normal battery handling procedures for maximum performance at all
times. Be sure to: Clean batteries periodically (wiping with a rough cloth will
remove residues that might otherwise impede performance); install batteries prop-
erly, checking for proper polarity; remove batteries when not using the equipment
for an extended period; change weak batteries promptly to prevent leakage within
the camera; store unused batteries properly (in a cool, dry location) to maximize
service life; dispose of batteries properly (do not burn); and keep out of the reach
of children. For details regarding battery performance, refer to the original manu-
facturer.
