o Do not leave the camera in hot places (on an ocean
beach in summer, in a parked car under direct sunlight,
etc.)for a long time, because the camera, film and
batteries may be adversely affected.
o After taking pictures at the seaside or on mountains,
clean the camera thoroughly. Salt air will cause corrosion
and sand and dust will adversely affect the internal
precision parts of the camera.
r To remove dust and dirt on the lens and viewfinder
glass, use an air blower or a soft lens brush. lf they are
soiled with fingerprints, wipe off lightly with lens tissue.
Remove dust and dirt on the mirror with a lens brush.

is brought into a warm room from outside where it is cold.
This cloudiness will disappear soon, but it is always
advisable to avoid sudden temperature changes because
water droplets will cause internal corrosion.

such as an overseas trip or wedding ceremony, be sure to
test it beforehand to make sure it functions properly. lt is
also advisable to bring spare batteries with you.

or in a laboratory where there are chemicals that will
cause damage to it.
