Caring for Your Camera
We
recommend cleaning your camera period-
ically
and
especially after using
it
at the beach.
1)
To
clean the lens surface and the view-
finder eyepiece, blow off dust with a blow-
er brush and gently wipe the lens surface
with a lens cleaning tissue slightly
moistened with lens cleaner. Clean
in
a
spiral motion from the center outwards.
2)
To
clean the reflecting mirror and the
focusing screen, only use a blower brush
reserved for this purpose.
If
more cleaning
is
necessary
NEVER
attempt to do it your-
self; take the camera to an authorized
Canon service facility.
3)
To
clean the film chamber, use a blower
brush to occasionally remove accumulat-
ed
film
du
st particles that might scratch the
film.
4)
To
clean the film pressure plate
and
the film
guide rails, lightly wipe the surface with
lens cleaning paper moistened with lens
cleaning fluid.
