Canon FT QL - Proper Care of the Camera; Cleaning the Lens

Proper Care of the Camera
Moisture and dust are harmful to your camera.' If your
camera is to be stored for a long time, it should be re¬
moved from its case, and silica gel or another drying
agent should be placed alongside it.
When you use your camera on a rainy day, or at the
beach, moisture and salt air adhere to it, which can result
in stains, rust, and corrosion. Use a soft brush to get
rid of dust and a soft dry cloth for wiping.
■ In extremely cold areas, expose the camera to the
outer air only when in use. When using, expose the
camera gradually to the outer air to prevent the lens
from clouding.
■ In hot climates, do not leave the camera inside closed
automobiles during the daytime or in direct sunlight. It
is not good for the CdS photocell.
Cleaning the Lens
Use a blower to remove dust on the lens or brush lightly
with a brush. If you should inadvertently get a finger
print on the lens, use a little pure alcohol or ether on
lens cleaning tissue, then wrap the tissue around a
matchstick and wipe the lens lightly in a circular motion.
