CLEANING
THE
LENSES
IT
IS impossible to obtain
sharp
pictures
of
good contrast unless the lens
is
kept
critically clean.
The front and rear surfaces
of
the lens should
be
cleaned
at
frequent
intervals.
It
is especially
important
to clean
the
lens during and after
an ocean voyage
or
when
using
the
camera
at
the seashore.
To
clean
the
'lens, wipe the surfaces gently
with
lens cleaning tissue
or
with
a soft, washed linen
or
cotton
cloth. Breathing on the glass
surface generally furnishes
sufficient moisture,
but
if
not, use Kodak
Lens
Cleaner.
Other
liquids may contain ingredients
that
will
be harm-
ful to the glass,
to
the black lacquer
or
the balsam
with
which
the
lenses are cemented.
CLEANING
THE
REFLEX
FINDER
KE
EP
the
top surface
of
the magnifier
very
clean, this is most
important
when focusing accurately
with
the
reflex finder.
If
dust collects on the ground glass
of
the
reflex finder, slide the
magnifier
to
the
right
and
blow
on the glass.
If
this
does
not
remove
the dust,
wrap
a small, clean, lintless
cloth
around a
match
stick and
carefully wipe
the
top
surface
of
the ground glass. Do
this
very
gently,
with light pressure.
To reach the mirror and the under surface
of
the ground glass, re-
move the lens from the turret.
OILING
THE
CAMERA
NEV
ER oil the camera with any lubricant other than Cine-Kodak Oil, otherwise
high-speed and cold
weather
operation will be seriously impaired. A
bottle
of
this oil
with
a wire applicator is furnished
with
each Cine-
Kodak Special.
Oil
the
Cine-Kodak Special after every fifty, lOO-foot rolls
of
film,
or
every six
months
if less
than
fifty rolls are run
through
the camera in
that
time.
To oil the camera, place
it
on its side
with
the control plate facing up
(Figure 54, page
72
).
Apply
the
oil
with
the
wire attached
