The focusing screen is detachable, for exchanging with other types. Do not place trimming
masks or tapes on the bottom surface of the screen, as this will lead to inaccurate focusing.
A red LED will flash above the focusing screen area and signal closing of the shutter when
taking the picture. Wait for this signal, especially at the slow shutter speeds, before rotating
the film winding crank.
It should be remembered when composing pictures that the final print may not be a square
format when printed, but will be cropped on both sides or at the top and bottom.
The optional Remote Camera Battery Pack Ei should be used with the SQ-B. The optional
Remote Camera Battery Pack SQ-I cannot be used.
Time (T) exposure is not obtainable with the standard Zenzanon-PS/B 80mm lens (supplied
in the SQ-B kit) but time exposures are feasible when other Zenzanon-PS lenses are
attached.
Depressing the shutter release button half way will not drain the battery, although it is rec-
ommended that the shutter release button be locked to prevent accidental release of the
shutter.
The various accessory film backs can be attached but the film speed dial will not operate.
Protect your camera from impact and vibrations, too.
Protect your camera from temperature changes which can result in moisture condensation
or frost inside the body. This will lead to rusting of metallic parts.
Clean the plastic focusing screen in the same manner. Do not touch the surface as you may
leave fingerprints.
Use lens cleaning tissue and liquid to clean the surface of the lens. Do not use silicon-coat-
ed cloth for this purpose, as it will prove detrimental to the lens coating.
Restrict cleaning of the reflex mirror to blowing or brushing with the blower brush or a soft
camel hairbrush. Do not touch the surface with your fingers or a cloth.
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
affected 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.
