24. SPECIAL ACCESSORIES

By attaching a CHINON Power Winder to this camera, the film can be advanced automatically so that
you can take continuous shots (2 frames per second). This is a great accessory for sports or action
photography when rapid sequence photos are desired.
The DP-5 optional power winder system features the "Single Power Source System". When equipped
with CHINON Power Winder PW-600 or PW-6 10, the camera's power source is supplied from the
power winder. This system is extremely convenient when photographing in cold weather.
* Before attaching the winder, wipe the contact points on both the camera and the winder with a
dry cloth.

25. PROPER CARE OF YOUR CAMERA

* Never touch the surface of the lens with your fingers. If the lens is dirty, either use a blower brush to
blow the dust away or wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
* Camera malfunctions can be caused by shock, humidity, salt air, etc. After using the camera at the
beach or in places that use chemicals, wipe it carefully.
* Do not use chemically treated cloths to clean the camera.
* Take care not to expose your camera to sudden changes in temperature, as this may cause camera
malfunction.
* Do not expose your camera for a long period of time to extremely high temperatures, such as in
the back of your car or on a beach, as this may cause camera malfunction.
* When using a tripod, do not try to force a long screw into the socket. (The screw length should
be less than 5.7 mm (1/4 in).
* Do not place the camera near equipment that has strong magnetism such as television or radio.
* Remove the batteries before storing the camera, and keep it in a place free of dust and humidity.
