Common Sense Camera Care - FujiFilm Zoom Date 90 SR Owner's Manual

COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE

1 Although your camera is designed for many years of service,
it is a precision instrument and requires thoughtful handling.
In particular, avoid exposing it to shock, moisture or physical
abuse such as dropping it on the floor.
1 If you use your camera at the beach or in a light rain, pro-
tect it from moisture. Do not let your camera get wet. Be
particularly careful to avoid sand and salt spray at the
beach.
2 Dropping your camera or letting it strike a hard surface
could result in damage even though the camera was in a
case. Never subject the camera to vibration such as in the
trunk of a car. Never keep your camera in the trunk or the
glove compartment of a car: the heat build-up can dam-
age it.
2 Your camera is computer-controlled so it seldom, if ever, will
it work incorrectly. If you should experience incorrect opera-
tion, remove the batteries and then reload it.
3 If you will not be using your camera for some time, store it
where it will be safe from heat, moisture, dust and harmful
gases such as naphthalene (those caused by moth balls and
moth flakes).
4 Never store the camera in a closed automobile for an extended
period.
5 It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras con-
taining film be carried as hand luggage when flying. If included
in checked baggage, X-ray inspections may cause overprint-
ing or other effects.

Remove soil and dust from the lens, the AF window and the
finder with an air blower and by wiping lightly with a piece of
soft cloth. If that is not enough, wipe off gently with Lens Clean-
ing Paper, moistened slightly with Lens Cleaning Liquid. Do
not use organic solvents such as alcohol and benzene.
7 Dust and debris in the film compartment can scratch the film.
Use a blower brush to clean it.
8 Load and remove film away from direct sunlight.
9
The operating temperature range of the camera is from –10°C
to +40°C.

Since the performance of the batteries will drop in cold weather,
warm the battery by placing it inside your pockets, etc. before
use. The performance of a battery whose performance has tem-
porarily dropped can be restored by returning the batteries to
normal temperature.
With a few common sense precautions, your camera will give you
years of faithful service, great pleasure and wonderful pictures.
