CAMERA
CARE
Good camera care is primarily common
sense care.
Treat your Nikkormat as you would any valuable
precision instrument and it will last a lifetime.
Although the Nikkormat is ruggedly constructed to
withstand
rough handling, it may be damaged by
shock, heat, water or misuse. The following are some
basic tips for keeping your camera in top condition.
Storage
Keep the camera in an eveready case or compartment
case when not in use to protect it from dust.
Avoid storing the camera in excessively hot, cold or
damp places.
Always attach a body cap when the camera body is
stored separately.
Do not leave film in the camera for a long period of
time.
Never leave the shutter or self-timer cocked if the
camera is to be stored overnight or longer.
Camera Body
Brush the inside of the camera periodically using a
soft brush. Do not exert pressure on the shutter cur-
tain as this may damage it.
Keep
the
mirror
free from
fingerprints
and dust.
Lens
Keep the lens surface free from fingerprints and dust
as far as possible.
Use lens tissue to remove
dust, never use cloth or
ordinary tissue.
If smudges or fingerprints appear, clean them with
lens tissue moistened sparingly with alcohol.
Remember, even an approved lens cleaner can cause
damage if it seeps into the lens mount.
Keep the camera away from water.
Avoid excessive moisture. When using the camera near
water, guard against splashes, especially salt-water
spray.
Never oil any part of the camera. Lubrication should
be left to an authorized serviceman.
Prior to taking a holiday trip or being assigned an im
portant photo job, test your camera by making a few
trial exposures.
Remember,
it takes at least two or
three weeks for processing the test film and making
any needed repairs or adjustment. Follow this impor-
tant
precaution
and
you
will have
pictures
to
remember.
