Maintenance
Your XF camera System generally needs very little maintenance.
However, as this is a professional tool it should be treated with
proper care and caution. Always perform test shots before a pho-
tographic session if the camera, for any reason, has not been used
for a long period of time.
Lenses
Never touch the optics of the lens with your fingers. Keep the op-
tics perfectly clean with air, a lens brush and/or the dry lens cloth
(delivered with the lens). Do not touch the contacts.
Keep the contact interface of the XF camera system lens clean
with either a dry cloth or by using a fiberglass brush. Do not use
any other tools on the lens. The lens is not waterproof. It should
be immediately dried with a cloth if it becomes wet. If it is ex-
posed to salt, moisten a cloth and carefully clean the lens.
Digital backs
The Phase One IQ back must have the protection plate fitted
when it is not attached to a camera. Dust may accumulate on
the IR filter of the IQ back, which will degrade the image qual-
ity if not removed. Please follow the directions included in the
Sensor Cleaning Kit that comes with the IQ back.
IR Filter on the sensor
The IR filter (Infrared Reduction Filter) is permanently mounted on
top of the sensor. The filter may not be removed for several reasons:
1. The focusing of the IQ back camera back is dependent on
the presence of the IR filter.
2. It is only possible to remount the filter without dust ob-
structing the Sensor if you have access to special clean
room facilities
3. The Phase One Product Warranty will be terminated
NOTE:
A frequently used product should be inspected periodically at the near-
est ocial Phase One repair center. Do NOT try to repair any camera,
lens or back errors or malfunctions – Please consult your local dealer.
