Mamiya RB67 Pro SD User Manual page 43

If the camera is not to be used for a long
l
time, remove the film.
. Do not store the camera at temperature
exceeding 40°C or below -10°C. Also
avoid storing in a damp or a sea air environ-
ment.
. As your camera is a precision instrument,
avoid exposing it to vibrations or severe
shocks. When handholding your camera,
always exercise extreme caution so that it
is not dropped or hit against something.
. Prolonged disuse does not lengthen cam-
era life, but shortens it. So, when storing it
for a long time, periodically take the cam-
era out and release the shutter several
times to keep it in good condition.
When using the RB67 Pro-SD for special
important photos for on location photography,
weddings, overseas trips and or other important
photography, be sure to take some trial photos
and check all functions.
It is advisable to put your camera in for
periodic check-ups (at intervals of one to two
years) to thus ensuring the best photography at
optimum performance.
Cleaning
Never touch the surface of the mirror! If it
l
needs cleaning, use a blower brush or lens
paper to gently remove dust particles.
Please note the surface should never be
touched!
. Do not touch the lens surface. If a finger-
print gets on the surface, first remove the
dust particles with a blower brush. Then
gently wipe the fingerprint off with a lens
cleaning paper with a drop of lens cleaner
on it: finaly, gently wipe dry with dry
lens paper.

Periodic Check
Periodically check the camera to make sure
it is in working order. This is especially impor-
tant before beginning a photographic session
or assignment. Check the battery, flash syn-
chronization, mirror and shutter operation,
diaphgram funcitioning and film advance. Also
check any accessories you plan to use.
For a general overhaul, cleaning, or minor
repair, take the camera to your nearest au-
thorized Mamiya Service Center or see your
camera shop for advice.
