Contax T3 - Specifications and Precautions; Camera Care and Battery Precautions

• Fingermarks and dirt on the lens and other parts can adversely affect the
accuracy of the camera. If they are soiled, clean them lightly with lens
cleaning tissue moistened with cleaning fluid. That is enough in most
cases. To remove dust, blow off with a blower or dust off with a lens
brush.
• To clean the camera body, wipe off with a soft cloth.
Never use organic solvents such as benzine and thinner.
• After shooting on a beach or in a dusty place, clean the camera
thoroughly. Salt air can cause corrosion, and sand and dust can
adversely affect the camera mechanism.
• If the camera is suddenly brought into a warm room from the outside
where it is cold, the lens may be clouded.
The cloudiness will disappear after a while, but avoid sudden
temperature changes if possible.
• This camera contains high-voltage circuits. In case of malfunction, never
try to disassemble it by yourself because it is dangerous.
• If you are going to use the camera for important events such as an
overseas trip or wedding ceremony, check to make sure it operates
correctly or make test exposures beforehand.
It is also recommended to bring a spare battery with you.
• The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it and avoid intense
shook,
<Using the Camera in Cold Weather>
If you are using the camera in cold weather, keep it inside your clothing to
warm it up. As the temperature drops, the battery performance will be
temporarily reduced and the camera may not operate. However, the battery
performance reduced by low temperature returns to normal at ordinary
temperature.

safety circuit is activated. In this case, turn off the main switch,take out
the battery, then reload it and turn on the main switch again to use the
