Canon BF-8 manual ´ Handling Precautions

´Handling Precautions

1.This camera is not resistant to water, and should not be used outdoors if it is raining or snowing. If it is accidentally dropped in water, contact an authorized Canon service facility. Keep the camera out of salt spray and excessive humidity. If used at the beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.

2.Store the camera in a cool, dry, dust-free place. Be sure to keep the camera out of direct sunlight, and away from “hot spots” such as the trunk or rear window shelf of a car.

Avoid places where mothballs are used, and use a desiccant in excessive humidity.

3.Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself, since there is high-voltage circuitry inside.

4.The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed to high temperatures, or disposed of in a fire.

5.Use a blower brush to remove dust and sand from the lens and inside the camera. Do not apply any fluids to the lens or body. Take the camera to an authorized Canon service facility for a more thorough cleaning if necessary.

6.Film passing through X-ray examinations at an airport may be exposed and ruined even when loaded in the camera. Request a different method of inspection to avoid damage.

7.Color reproduction may be adversely affected if the film is left in the camera for a long time. Always develop exposed film promptly.
