Care of glass surfaces

• Never
surfaces with fingers or other ob-
jects. If necessary, remove loose
matter with a blower brush. Use
special photographic lens tissue or a
soft, clean cloth to remove smudges
or fingerprints with a gentle circular
motion. Only if absolutely neces-
sary, the tissue may be moistened
very slightly with not more than
one drop of a satisfactory quick-
lens-release
evaporating fluid cleaner specially
compounded
lenses. Such fluids must never be
dropped directly on the glass sur-
face.
• Never lift the mirror or touch its
surface, as doing so might damage
the alignment. Small smudges or
fingerprints on the mirror will not
affect the meter reading or image
quality; if they are very annoying,
have the camera
authorized Minolta service facility.
