The optical system parts are the very heart of the camera.

with a lens cleaning paper.
Do not allow foreign matter to make contact with the

occur.

and avoid using these substances. Otherwise, the casing
may become discolored.

Turning the camera head by hand may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Use the unit in an environment with minimal moisture
and dust.
Avoid using the unit in an environment with high
