inspection
routine,
which
involves
removing
the
dirt
and dust from
inside,
replenishing the
lubricating
oil
and
replacing the
worn
parts
(such as
heads),
will
make
it
impossible

produce
quality pictures
and
proper
recordings.
It
will
also shorten the
unit's
service
life.
Ensure

the

inspected
well
ahead

heads
may
be
damaged

is
used
incorrectly.
Cleaning
the lens

Maintain and
inspect the lens
once a
year.

Use
an
air
blower
or a brush
with
soft bristles to
blow
or brush
away
the
dirt
or
dust which
may
have accumulated on
the lens
surface.
•
If
grease
or fingerprints
have been
left

use a
lens cleaner
available

Ensure

way
to
the lens
when
shooting
in
rainy
or
snowy
conditions.
Once

camera,
attach the lens
