CARE AND STORAGE

STORAGE

When storing the camera for extended periods, please follow these guidelines:

Store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from dust and chemicals. For very long periods, place the camera in an airtight container with a silica gel drying agent.

After prolonged storage, always check the camera’s operation to make sure it is functioning properly.

BEFORE IMPORTANT EVENTS

Check camera operation carefully and take test photographs. Purchase a spare battery.

Minolta is not responsible for any loss which may occur due to an equipment malfunction.
