Your camera should be kept in a dry and dust-free
environment.
Cleaning: Use a soft microiber cloth for the body, and a
lens cleaning cloth/paper for the lens and LCD.
Clean the ilm gate after every few cartridge insertions, to
remove accumulated ilm emulsion and dust.
1. Open the ilm door, and hold the camera with the lens
up, so that dust will not fall onto the rear of the lens.
2. Carefully clean the gate with a ilm camera cleaning
brush, making sure nothing gets caught in the gate.
WARNING: Never use any metal to clean the gate.
3. Use a manual air blow bulb to remove all particles at the
gate. You can also carefully blow with an air bulb into the
c-mount opening to remove small particles and lus on
the viewinder ground glass.
WARNING: Never use compressed air out of a can and
keep away from mechanical parts!
4. Remove the battery from the camera for extended
storage.
