COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE
CAMERA CARE
1 Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not get it wet or drop it. Also, do not expose to sand.
2 Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or other similar
electronic products. These straps are usually too weak to hold your camera securely. For safety, use only straps
designed for your camera, and use only as specifi cally intended and instructed.
3 If you are not using your camera for a long interval, unload the batteries and keep it where it will be safe from heat, dust,
and moisture.
4 Remove soil and dust from the lens, viewfi nder window, etc. with an air blower and by wiping lightly with a piece of soft cloth.
5 Do not use solvent such as thinner and alcohol to remove soil.
6 Keep the fi lm chamber and camera interior clean to avoid damaging
lms.
7
In hot weather, do not leave your camera in a closed car or on the beach, and do not leave it in moist places.
8 Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene adversely aff ects your camera and fi lms. Avoid keeping your camera or lms in a chest with mothballs.
9
Your camera is computer-controlled. If you should experience an operational issue, remove the batteries and then reload
them
.
0 Note that the temperature range within which your camera can be used is +5°C/+41°F to +40°C/+104°F.
INSTAX mini FILM AND PRINT CARE
