—10°C. Sudden changes in temperature will often
cause moisture to condense inside or outside your
camera. This is a possible source of rust, which may
be extremely harmful to the mechanism.
Furthermore, If the camera is taken from a warm
temperature to a sub^freezlng one, further damage
may result from the formation of icelets. Thus, sudden
temperature changes should be avoided as much as
possible. As a guide, a temperature change of 10^C
should be allowed to take place gradually over a
period of at least 30 minutes. If this is not possible,
keeping the camera in its case or bag will help
somewhat in minimizing the effects of a rapid
temperature change.
5. Vibration experienced when you are traveling
in a car, plane, or ship, can cause screws to loosen.
To minimize this problem use foam-rubber padding
about one Inch thick to line the bottom of your
camera bag.
6. When mounting your camera on a tripod, make sure
the tripod screw is no longer than 5.5mm, which is the
depth of your camera's tripod socket. If you use
a longer screw, you will possibly puncture the tripod
socket, after which the camera will not function
properly.
Precautions on LCD Display
• In temperatures over approximately 60*^0, the LCD
display may darken. It will return to its normal condition
under normal temperatures.
• In low temperatures, the LCD display may respond
more slowly. This is due to the characteristics of the
liquid used and is not a malfunction.
Backup Circuits for LCD Display
Even when the battery is removed for replacement
during shooting, the built-in backup circuits retains data
such as the frame number and the ISO film speed in
memory until a new battery is inserted.
Special notes on accessories
• When the Auto Bellows A is combined with this camera,
the Double Release A cannot be used. When shooting
with the camera held vertically, keep the camera's grip
on the upper side.
• When using the "Adapter K for 645 Lens" with this
camera, note that the fixing screw may hit the camera,
depending on where the adapter is fitted.
• The Magnifier F, Eyecup F, and Hotshoe Cover F,
which are the accessories for the SFX/SF1, cannot be
used with your camera. Use the Magnifier M.
