TIPS ON CAMERA CARE -----------

Camera care is common sense care. Treat your F3 as you would treat other valuable precision instruments . Even though the F3 is built to take many years of hard use, it may be damaged by shock, heat, water, or misuse . Following are some tips to help you keep your camera in good condition .

1. Keep the lens clean.

Keep the lens surfaces free of fingerprints and dust as much as pessible. Remove dust with a blower brush or lens tissue . Never use cloth or ordinary tissue. If smudges or fingerprints persist , use lens tissue moistened sparingly with alcohol or lens cleaner .

4. Do not expose the camera to high temperatures.

Keep the camera away from places where the temperature is apt to be high , such as on the beach under direct sunlight or in the trunk of a car.
