HANDLING RULES
The camera is a precise optical-mechanical instrument. It should be handled
carefully, kept clean and protected from jolts, dust, moisture, and sharp
temperature fluctuations.
Do not remove the camera from its case the moment it is brought indoors from
cold to avoid sweating of its parts, especially the optical ones.
Do not touch the surfaces of the optical parts with fingers since it may damage
their coatings. Clean the optical coated lens surfaces with a clean soft cloth or
cotton wool wad slightly moistened with rectified alcohol or ether. The surfaces of
the mirror and the focusing device may be cleaned only if absolutely necessary
with a dry soft brush but in no case with humid cleaning agents.
Keep the camera closed in its case with the cap put on the lens.
Do not remove the lens from the camera without need to prevent dirt and dust
from getting both onto the surfaces of the lens optical parts and into the camera
itself.
If you don't use your camera for some period of time (a month and more) remove
the batteries from the camera. Keep the batteries separately in places
inaccessible for children.
Load and unload your camera either indoors or in shade protecting it against
direct sun light and bright artificial light.
Always cock the shutter as far as it will go to avoid blank exposures.
Do not keep the camera with the shutter cocked for a long period of time since it
is likely to impair the shutter operation.
Do not try to rotate the shutter speed dial with the index moving along its
short section from "500" to "B". Do not rotate shutter speed dial when self-
timer is running and when setting the release button in "T" position. When
taking pictures in frosty weather, keep the camera under your street-clothes but
not. in the open air and take it out only for the moment of picture taking.
Since the camera is a complex instrument, its repair and adjustment should be
performed in repair shops only.
