TIPS ON CAMERA CARE

Although the PA is a tough and durable camera bear in mind that it is a precision optical instrument and that careless or rough handling may damage it. Observe the following tips and the FA will always work as perfectly as the day you bought it.

Before using the camera, it is a good practice to check it thoroughly first.

Never touch the reflex mirror or the focusing screen, to pre- vent them from becoming scratched. Remove dust with a blower brush.

Do not touch the shutter curtains 26

Generally the camera does not need lubrication.

If the camera body is exposed to rain or mist, wipe moisture gently with a soft cloth and dry the camera. After using the camera near salt water wipe it with a cloth moistened with pure water to remove possible traces of salt.

If the inside of the camera body accidentally gets wet, its internal precision parts may get rusty. Take the camera right away to thc nearest authorized Nikon dealer for a checkup, which may require repair payment.
