CAMERA CARE
• Cleaning
Keep your camera
in
top condition by following
these suggestions for periodic cleaning. See the
precautions
on
page 7 for other important infor-
mation.
1. Cleaning the lens
surface-
Blow off dust with a blower brush and gently
wipe the lens surface with a piece of lens
cleaning paper moistened with lens cleaner.
Clean
in
a spiral motion from the center out-
wards.
2.
Cleaning mirror and focusing screen-
Use a blower brush reserved for this pur-
pose only.
If
more cleaning
is
necessary do
not attempt to do it yourself. Take the camera
to
an
authorized Canon service facility.
3. Cleaning the film
chamber-
Use a blower brush to remove accumulated
film dust particles that might scratch the film.
Be
careful not to touch the shutter curtain.
4.
Cleaning the film pressure plate and film guide
rails
Lightly wipe the surface with a piece of lens
cleaning paper moistened with lens cleaning
fluid.
Be
careful not to touch the shutter curtain.
Use of aerosol spray dust removers is not rec-
72 ommended.
• Liquid Crystal Display/Battery Notes
1) LCD Information
The
LCD
panel uses liquid crystal to show expo-
sure information. After about five years, the dis-
play may become difficult to read.
If
this occurs,
have it replaced
at
an
authorized Canon service
facility. Replacement
is
at
the owner's expense.
Liquid crystal may also respond relatively slowly
in
temperatures below 32'F/
O'C.
It
may also dar-
ken
in
temperatures of around 140'F/
60'C
. The
LCD
panel will return when the temperature
re
-
turns to normal.
2) Blinking Empty
Ba
ttery Indicator
There are two situations
in
which the blinki
ng
empty battery indicator will appear
in
the LCD
panel: (1) when the battery is nearly exhausted or
(2) when the camera's self-test process detects
an
internal malfunction.
If
the blinking empty bat-
tery indicator appears, perform the followi ng
operations:
1.
Remove the battery, wipe the battery terminals
and reload
it.
Check t
he
battery again.
If
the
blinking sti
ll
appears, replace the battery with a
new one.
