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 also remove the mercury
battery, 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.
™ Do not keep the camera in a hot place such as a
car glove compartment or the rear window shelf.
It will cause a trouble with the camera.
™ Do not expose the camera leaving it without the
lens cap directly to the sun. It will cause a fog on the
film.
m= |f the camera will not be used for an extended length
of time, the battery should be taken out of the battery
compartment to prevent possible damage to the termi-
nals from battery corrosion.
Cleaning the Lens
Use a blower or a brush to remove dust on the lens.
If you should get a fingerprint on the lens, soak 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.
