32CARING FOR YOUR CAMERA
•To clean the lens surfaces, use only a blower brush, cleaning fluid and tissue made specially for cleaning camera lenses. Carefully follow the lens’ instruc- tions.
Using the Camera at Very Low Temperatures
When you use the New F-1 in cold conditions, try to protect it from outside air and avoid extreme temperature changes. Condensation forming on a camera and lens taken from subzero outside temperatures into a warm room may cause corrosion. To avoid this, place the camera in a plastic bag while still outdoors. Then seal the bag and take it indoors, leaving the camera in the bag until it gradually reaches room temperature. Generally, this takes about one-half hour. Also, remember that at temperatures below 0◦C (32◦F), battery power may decrease or fail. Please see page 9 for tips on battery care when shooting in cold conditions.
If you are using the camera in conjunction w ith the motor drive, the High Power Ni-Cd Pack FN is the most reliable power source for uninterrupted shooting at low temperatures. It can be used as the sole power source for both the camera and the motor drive by attaching the Battery Cord C-FN.
Neckstrap
Thread the tips of the neckstrap through the corresponding rings on the camera so that the tips are on the inside. Then adjust the neckstrap to the length most comfortable for you.
