CAMERA CARE AND CAUTIONS
1. Your camera is a precision instrument which requires care-
ful handling. Do not expose it to shock, liquid, or drop it on
the floor.
1) If you use the camera at the seaside or in light rain, be
careful not to get it wet. Also be careful not to put the
camera in places where it will be easily exposed to
sand.
2) Dropping the camera on the floor or striking it against
hard objects sometimes causes trouble even though it
may be in the camera case. Also do not put the cam-
era in places where it is exposed to vibrations (such as
the trunk of a car).
2. If you are not using your camera for a long time, keep it
where it will be safe from heat, moisture, dust, and harmful
gases (such as naphthalene which is used in drawers).
3. Since this camera is computer-controlled, it almost never
operates erroneously. If erroneous operation should occur,
remove and then reload the battery.
4. This advanced photo system magnetically records the
information on the film. Therefore, do not expose film car-
tridges or a film cartridge loaded camera to strong magnet-
ic fields.
5. Do not put the camera in a closed car for a long time.
6. It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras con-
taining film are carried as hand luggage when using air-
craft. If included in checked-in baggage, X-ray inspections
may cause overprinting or other effects.
7. Remove soil and dust from the lens, the AF window and
the finder with an air blower and by wiping lightly with a
piece of soft cloth. If that is not enough, wipe off gently with
Lens Cleaning Paper, moistened slightly with Lens
Cleaning Liquid. Do not use organic solvents such as alco-
hol and benzene.
8. The operating temperature range of the camera is from
–10°C to +40°C.
