OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
①
- HANDING AND USAGE -
To clean the body surface, dust it off lightly and wipe it using a clean cloth.
After usage by seaside, wipe it with a clean moist cloth to remove the salt and
then wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or a
cleaner containing alcohol. (Ref. Figure 11)
Blow off all abrasive dirt and dust on the lens surface with a camera cleaning
blower or a soft oil-free brush. With the dust removed, use a lens cleaning
tissue moistened with a few drops of a lens cleaning solution for fingerprints.
Wipe it out gently. (Ref. Figure 12)
The lens surface is very susceptible to scratches. In cleaning much care must
be taken to avoid damaging the lens surface. Read instructions for a lens
cleaning solution thoroughly if it is used.
Use a brush to remove sands and dirts from the rotating parts on the focusing
wheel and the diopter ring. (Ref. Figure 13)
