Camera Care
Your Hasselblad camera is designed to withstand the
rigors of professional use in most environments. In or-
der to avoid the possibility of damage however, the
camera should be protected from the following.
Extremes of temperature. High temperatures can

era. 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 se-
vere 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 water spray.
You can blow away any dust on the lens glass, magni-

cloth if necessary. Smears on the lens glass should be
removed with a high quality lens cleaning solution on a
tissue. Be careful not to scratch the lens or touch any
of the glass surfaces with your ngers. The surface
of the mirror is coated and can be blown clean but
should not be wiped.
Impact. Your camera can be damaged by severe
physical 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.
Service
Faultless camera performance is essential to the pro-
fessional photographer. It is therefore advisable to
check that your camera is functioning correctly before
an important assignment. You should also return your
camera to a Hasselblad service center for occasional
checking and preventive maintenance. If your camera
is used constantly and intensively, exposing for exam-
