CAMERA CARE
Your Hasselblad
camera is designed to withstand the
rigours of professional
use in most environments. In
order to avoid the possibility
of damage however, the
camera should be protected from the following.
Extremes of temperature. High temperature's
can
have an adverse effect on both the film and the camera.
For this reason you should not keep your camera in
places where it will get hot, such as in direct sunlight or
on a shelf above a radiator. Frequent rapid and severe
temperature
changes can cause problems such as the
corrosion of electrical contacts, and should therefore be
avoided.
Dust and grit. You should take care to prevent dirt of
any kind from getting into your camera. When taking
photographs
in coastal areas for example, the camera
should be protected from sand and salt wate{ spray.
You can blow away any dust on the lens glass, magni-
fier or focusing screen, or wipe it off gently with a soft
cloth if necessary.
Smears on the lens glass should be
removed with a higlrqualily lens cleaning solution on a
tissue. Be careful not to scratch the lens or touch any
of the glass surfaces with your fingers. The surface of
the mirror is coated and can be blown clean but should
not be wiped.

lmpact. Your camera can be damaged by severe phys-
ical shocks. While you will obviously try not to drop it,
you should also take care not to leave it where it can fall
or be knocked to the ground, or roll about, as on the
back seat of a car for example
,.

lessional , photographer,
