20. Caring for Your Camera
As with any precision instrument, proper care and maintenance involve a few simple rules in addition to common sense. Observing these few rules will keep your T50 in top condition at all times.
1.The best thing you can do for your T50 is to use it regularly. In the event that you must store it for quite a while, first remove it from its case or camera bag. Remove the batteries. Wrap the camera in a clean, soft cloth and place it in a cool, dry,
2.Keep the camera and lens out of direct sunlight and away from "hot spots," such as the trunk, rear window shelf or glove compartment of a car. Do not store the camera in a laboratory or other such area where chemi- cals may cause corrosion.
3.To keep the camera in top condition during prolonged storage, occasionally insert the batteries and take several blank shots to "exercise" the mechanisms. Check the operation of each part before you use the camera following long storage.
4.Water, spray, excessive humidity, dust and sand are your camera's worst enemies. Clean it especially well immediately after you use it at the beach.
5.To clean the exterior of the camera body, first blow off dust with a blower brush. Wipe off smudges with a silicone cloth or chamois leather. If smudges remain on the eyepiece after using a blower brush, wipe it lightly with lens cleaning tissue which has been moistened with a couple of drops of lens cleaner.
