EN CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Any type of contamination can become a growth medium for
microorganisms; make sure to keep your camera and accessories
clean at all times.
Camera Care
• Clean the camera only with a soft, dry cloth. Stubborn dirt should
first be moistened using a diluted cleaning agent and then wiped
off with a dry cloth.
• To remove marks and fingerprints, wipe the camera with a clean
lint-free cloth. Tougher dirt in hard to reach corners of the camera
body can be removed with a small brush.
• All mechanically operated bearings and sliding surfaces on your
camera are lubricated. Please remember this if you will not be
using the camera for a long period of time. To prevent the
lubrication points becoming gummed up, the camera shutter
should be operated several times every three months. It is also
recommended that you repeatedly move and use all other controls.

Lens Care
• Using a soft-bristled brush should generally be sufficient to remove
dust from the outer lens elements. Use a clean soft cloth to
remove stubborn dirt residue in a circular motion from the inside of
the lens outward. We recommend micro-fiber cloths (available from
photographic and optical specialists) that are stored in a protective
container and can be washed at temperatures of up to
40°C/104°F (do not use fabric softener, and never iron the
cloths!). Cloths for cleaning spectacles that are impregnated with
chemicals should not be used as they may cause damage to the
surface of the lens.
• The lens cap supplied also protects the lens from fingerprints and
the rain.
