CARE AND STORAGE
• As with all high-precision instruments., no
part of your SR-T should ever be forced at
any time. If operation is not as you think it
should be, carefully restudy the applicable
instructions or consult an authorized
Minolta service representative.
• Always keep your camera in its case with
the lens capped when not in use.
• Never subject your camera to shocks, high
heat and/or humidity, water, or harmful
chemicals or gases.
• Never lubricate any part of the body or lens.
• Always use a body cap when a lens is not
installed oh the body. Keep lenses, properly
capped front and rear, in their cases when
not in use.
• Never touch the shutter blades or anything
j,,side ;;,r rront of the body with the
"""fingers. T
,ese parts. and the inside of the
'f' back should be dusted with a soft brush
.
from time to time as necessary, with parti-
cular care never to exert pressure on the
shutter curtain.
• Never touch lens or other glass surfaces with
the fingers. If necessary, remove loose mat-
ter from them with a blower lens brush. Use
special photographic lens tissue or a soft
clean cloth to remove smudges or finger-
prints with a gentle circular motion. Only if
absolutely necessary, the tissue may be
moistened very slightly with not more than
one drop of a satisfactory quick-evaporating
flu id cleaner specially compounded for
photographic lenses. Like other fluids, these
must never be dropped directly on the glass
surface.
• Smudges or fingerprints on the mirror may
be removed with lens tissue slightly moisten-
ed with lens-cleaning fluid as above.
• External camera and lens-barrel - but not
glass - surfaces may be wiped with a soft,
silicone-treated cloth.
• Never leave the shutter or self-timer cocked
when the camera is to be stored overnight or
longer. It is advisable to operate the film
advance and release the shutter once or
-twice from time to time during extended
storage.
