CAMERA CARE
Your Hasselblad camera
is
designed
to withstand the
rigours of
professional
use in most environments.
In
order
to avoid the
possibility
of damage however,
the
camera should be
protected
from the following.
Extremes
of temperature.
High temperature's
can
have
an adverse effect
on both the
film
and the camera.
For this
reason
you
should
not keep
your
camera
in
places
where it will
get
hot,
such as
in
direct sunlight
or
on a shelf above a radiator.
Frequent rapid
and severe
temperature changes can cause
problems
such as
the
corrosion of electrical contacts, and
should therefore be
avoided.
Dust
and
grit.
You
should
take
care
to
prevent
dirt of
any
kind from
getting
into
your
camera.
When
taking
photographs
in
coastal
areas
for
example, the camera
should be
protected
from
sand and salt
wate{
spray.
You
can
blow away
any
dust on the
lens
glass,
magni-
fier
or
focusing
screen, or wipe
it
off
gently
with
a soft
cloth
if necessary.
Smears
on the lens
glass
should be
removed with
a
higlrqualily lens
cleaning solution
on
a
tissue. Be careful not to scratch the
lens
or
touch
any
of the
glass
surfaces with
your
fingers. The
surface of
the mirror is
coated and can be
blown clean but should
not
be
wiped.
Gamena CaFG,
$enuice
and
Guarantce
lmpact. Your camera can be damaged by severe
phys-
ical
shocks.
While
you
will obviously try
not to
drop
it,
you
should also
take care not to
leave
it where
it
can
fall
or be
knocked to the
ground,
or roll
about,
as on the
back seat of a car for
example
,.
