CARE
OF
YOUR
CAMERA
With
proper
care
and
handling
,
your
cam-
era can
provide
you
with
years
of
enjoy-
ment. When you're not taking
pictures,
protect
your
camera by
putting
it in a case
such as the
KODAK
COLORBURST
Instant
Camera Case (page 24).
Clean
the
viewfinder
lenses and the
pic-
ture-taking
lens by
blowing
away any
dust
or
dirt. Then breathe on the lenses to form
a
mist
, and
gently
wipe
the
mist
away
with
a soft, clean, lintless
cloth
(or use a
drop
of
KODAK
Lens Cleaner,
or
equivalent
, and
then
wipe
with
a
clean
,
soft
cloth)
. Don't
use solvents
or
solutions not designed
for
cleaning camera lenses, and never use
chemically
treated tissues intended
for
eyeglasses.
If
specks
of
dust
collect
on the
mirrors
inside
the camera
(indicated
by small
dark
shadowy
spots in the same
location
on
consecutive
prints), use a
rubber
syringe
to
blow
air
into the
film
compartment
(see
page 20). Never
attempt
to
clean
the
mir-
ror
s
with
a brush, a
cloth
,
or
any
other
cleaning
material!
Store
your
camera and
film
away from
heat and
direct
sunlight-never
in the
glove
compartment
, on the
rear-window
shelf,
or
in any
other
hot spot in a
car
-
since
this may cause permanent
damage
to the film
or
the camera. If you store
your
camera
for
a period
of
time,
it's
a good
idea to remove the
batteries
.
WARNING
Do not
attempt
to
disassemble
or
repair
the flash unit. The internal parts
contain
potentially
dangerous
power
levels
when
charged. For
service
, return the
camera
to
Kodak
(see
outside
back
cover)
or
other
qualified
repair
facility
.
Cleaning the Rollers
Occasional
fluid leakage may cause small
deposits
on
the
camera
roller
surfaces
,
which
can
affect
the
quality
of
your
pic
-
tures. If this
should
happen, clean the
roll-
ers as
follows:
1. Open the film
door
. The
ROLLERS
are
contained
in the door.
2.
Use a
cotton
swab
or
a small piece
of
soft
,
lintless
cloth
moistened
with
clean
water
. Don't use solvents
or
detergents
.
3.
Wipe
the
contaminated
area
of
the roll-
ers w
it
h the swab
or
cloth
(never
with
your
fingers) until the surfaces are clean. Ro-
tate the
rollers
by moving the
GEAR
at the
end
of
the
rollers
to
pOSit
ion the foreign
material
where
it
can be removed easily.
Dispose of the swab
or
cloth
in a closed
refuse
container
.
CAUTION: The residue cleaned from the
rollers
may be
caustic
. Observe the pre-
cautions
outlined
on page 14.
If the rolle
rs
need cleaning when there
is a
partially
used
pack
of film in the cam-
era, you can clean them
while
the camera
is loaded. Open the film
door
in
subdued
light
or
in the shade, and keep
the
film
pack
firmly
inserted in the
camera
to
pre-
vent fogging the film
as
you
follow
the
procedure
above.
