CARE OF
YOUR CAMERA
With
proper care and
handling
,
your cam-
era
can provide you with years of enjoy-
ment. When
you
're not
taking pictures,
protect
your
camera by putting
it
in
a case
such
as
the
KODAK
COLORBURST Instant
Camera Case
(pa
ge
24).
Clean
the viewfinder lenses
and the
pic-
ture-taking lens by blowing
away
any
dust
or
dirt.
Then
breathe on the
lenses
to
form
a
mist,
and
gently
wipe the
mist
away with
a
soft,
clean
,
lintless
cloth (or
use
a drop
of
KODAK
Lens
Cleaner,
or
equivalent,
and
then
wipe with a clean
,
soft cloth)
.
Don
't
use
solvents or solutions
not
designed
for
cleaning
camera lenses
,
and
never
use
chemically
treated tissues
intended for
eyeglasses
.
If specks of
dust collect on
the mirrors
inside the camera
(indicated
by
small
dark
shadowy spots
in
the
same
location on
consecutive prints)
,
use
a
rubber syringe
to
blow
air
into
the
film
compartment (see
page
20)
.
Never
attempt to clean the
mir-
rors
with
a
brush,
a
cloth
,
or any
other
cleaning
material!
Store your
camera and film
away from
heat and direct sunlight-never
in
the
glove
compartment,
on the rear-window
shelf,
or in
any
other hot spot in
a
car-
since
this may
cause
permanent damage
to
the film
or
the
camera.
If
you store
your
camera for
a period of
time
,
it's
a good
idea to
remove the
batteries.
WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble or
repair
the flash unit. The
internal
parts contain
potentially dangerous power
levels
when
charged
.
For
service,
return the camera to
Kodak (see outside back cover) or other
qualified repair facility
.
Cleaning the Rollers
Occasional fluid leakage may cause
small
deposits on the camera roller
surfaces
,
which
can affect
the quality of your
pic-
tures. If
this should
happen
,
clean
the roll-
ers as follows:
1.
Open the
film
door.
The ROLLERS are
contained in the door.
2. Use a cotton
swab
or
a
small piece of
soft,
lintless
cloth moistened with clean
water.
Don
't use solvents or
detergents.
3. Wipe
the contaminated area of
the roll-
ers w ith
the swab
or
cloth (never
with your
fingers) until
the surfaces are
clean. Ro-
tate
the rollers
by moving
the
GEAR at the
end of
the
rollers
to
pOSit
io
n
the
foreign
material
where it
can be removed
easily.
Dispose
of
the
swab or cloth in a
closed
refuse
container.
CAUTION: The residue cleaned from the
rollers may be
caustic.
Observe the pre-
cautions outlined on page 14.
If the rol
le
rs need cleaning when there
is a partially used pack
of
film in the cam-
era
,
you can
clean
them while
the
camera
is
loaded
.
Open
the film door in
subdued
light
or in the
shade,
and
keep
the
film
pac
k
firmly inserted in the camera to
pre-
vent
fogging
the
film as
you follow the
procedure above
.
