situations, always dry the camera thoroughly (and slowly) at room
temperature
and,
then,
store
in
a
cool, dry
location. Remember
that failure to dry out the camera may result in the
growth
of
fungus
on
lens
surfaces-
a
condition that will render your camera
useless.
•
Should
your camera
be
accidently
dropped
on
the floor or in
water, take it to
your
dealer immediately for
servicing.
Thorough
servicing can
be
guaranteed only at
an
authorized
dealer.
•
Always
store
the
camera
in
an ever-ready
case or compartment
case when not in use. And be
sure
that the lens cap is attached to
the
lens.
Do not leave
film
in the
camera for a
long period of time,
and
never
store
the
camera
with the
shutter or self-timer cocked.
•
Never lubricate
any
part
of
the camera. Lubrication should be left
to an authorized service center.
Prior to
a
holiday trip
or
impor-
tant
shooting assignment,
test
your camera
(including changing
batteries, if necessary)
for
proper
operation.
•
Observe normal battery handling procedures
for
maximum per-
formance at a
ll

sure
to
:
Clean batteries periodically
(wiping with
a
rough
cloth
will remove residues that might other-
wise impede performance); install batteries properly, checking for
proper polarity; remove batteries when not using
the equ
ipment
for an extended
period;
change
weak batteries promptly to prevent
leakage within the
camera; store
unused batteries properly (in
a
cool,
dry
location) to
maximize
service
life; dispose
of
batteries
properly (do not burn);
and
keep
