CAMERA MAINTENANCE
CLEANING:
* Always keep the viewfinder eyepiece, lens and
filters as clean as possible. To remove loose dust
and dirt, first use the blower and then the brush
of a lens brush. Do not try to wipe off granular
dirt or dust — it's an excellent way of scratching
the glass,
% Smudges, such as fingerprints, should be
carefully wiped away with either 5 tíssue or
à clean, soft cloth. Clean, plain cotton
handkerchiefs that have already been washed
a few times are particularly good for this,
Breathing on the lens before wiping is effective;
but be sure to wipe away all moisture completely.
Commercial lens cleaners are also effective.
