Pentax 67 - Maintenance

MAINTENANCE
• Make sure to remove the battery when the
camera is not in use for a extended period of
time, because the battery deteriorates and
may cause damage to the contact points of
the battery chamber.
• To prevent mildew on the camera, storage
should be located in a cool, well-ventilated
area.
• Gases from insecticides such as naphtha¬
lene may also harm the camera.
• Never wipe with solvents such as thinner or
alcohol.
• Periodical performance checks at least once
a year are recommended to maintain your
camera in good working condition. If you
have not used your camera over a long peri¬
od of time, or when important pictures are
planned on an assignment, a pre-check
and/or trial shooting is suggested.
• To remove dust on the lens and viewfinder
eyepiece, use a blower, followed by the appli¬
cation of a lens cleaning brush. Smudges such
as finger prints should be carefully wiped
with a clean soft cloth with a few drops of a
lens cleaning fluid available on the market.
Wipe the lens surface gently from the center
towards the edges in a spiral.
