Care of the ZENZA BRONICA SQ-Am

Restrict cleaning of the reflex mirror to blowing or brushing with the blower brush or a soft camel hair brush. Don't touch the

surface with your fingers or a cloth.

Use lens cleaning tissue and liquid to clean the surface of the lens. Do not use siliconcoated cloth for this purpose, as it will

prove detrimental to the lens coating.

 

Clean the plastic focusing screen in the same manner. Don't touch the surface as you may leave fingerprints.

Protect your camera from temperature changes which can result in moisture condensation, frost, etc., inside the body, leading

to rusting of metallic parts and troubles.

 

Protect your camera from impact and vibrations, too.

 

Upon attaching the film back, always pull out the dark slide from its slit.

 

Always protect the lens with its cover, when carrying the camera.

 

Clean the camera and lens very carefully after using it outdoors in wet weather or at the seashore.

Wipe the camera carefully with a well-wrung damp cloth, using fresh water, if the exterior is effected by salty air. Then, wipe it

dry with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, send it out for a quick inspection at an authorized repair station.

If the equipment is not being used for a long period, store everything in tin-lined containers, with plenty of desiccant, such as

silica gel. Finally, store the equipment in a cool, dry and well-ventilated (but not windy) place.

 

Do not thread too strongly, when using a longer-thanstandard tripod screw, as you may damage the body.

Both camera main body and lens must be in the "cocked" condition to attach or remove the lens. I n other words, when "

cocked" the cocking pin of the lens will be set between the red band and green dot, while the cocking pin of the body mount will

be set to the greencolored dot.

When not set in the above manner, the cocking pin of the detached lens (also Automatic Extension Tube) can be set by moving it

manually to the greencolored dot, while the cocking pin of the SQ-Am main body is set by depressing the drive button.

• Always clean all exposed contact points before attachment, as otherwise there will be faulty contact which will lead to improper

operations.

• 

See that exposed contact points are not short-circuited with a metal object.

*When using the flash synch socket on the camera body, always cover the hot shoe with its protective cover.

On the other hand, when using the hot shoe, cover the flash socket with its cover. Otherwise, an electric shock may be received

from the uncovered contact.

• 

Never insert/remove the miniplug of the remote control equipment with the mode selector switch set at Sm or Cm.

• 

Do not use the external terminal with external power exceeding 10 volts.

*When a finder with a built-in exposure meter is attached for photography and a film of different sensitivity is loaded in the

film back, always remember to readjust the ASA/ISO film speed dial for the new film.
