0 If the camera is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries and film.
•Do not store the camera at temperatures exceeding 40°C or below - 10°C. Also avoid storing in a damp or sea air environ- ment.
When stored in the vicinity of gaseous chemicals, such as naphthaline and formalin, the camera and film may be adversely affected. Read the instructions on the film carefully for proper handling procedures.
9 As your camera is a precision instrument, avoid exposing it to vibrations or severe shocks.
When handholding your camera, always use a neck strap and exercise extreme caution when removing lenses and adjusting the mount.
* Prolonged disuse does not lengthen camera life, but shortens it. So, when storing for a long time, periodically take the camera and release the shutter several times to keep it in good condi- tion.
•Do not touch either the front or the back of the lens surfaces. If either needs cleaning use blower or lens tissue to remove dust particles. A fingerprint can be removed with a drop of lens cleaner and wiped off with lens tissue.
• Carefully read all instructions in the manual.
Periodic Examination
In order to maintain the camera in its best condition, it is advis- able to pedodically check all functions.
When the camera has not been used for a long time, or when it is to be used for very important photographs, check the camera or take some trial pictures beforehand. (Be sure to check the batteries, electronic flash synchronization, film advance, upper and lower images in the rangefinder, correct m position, and shutter function.)
For a general overhaul, cleaning, or repairs, take the camera to your nearest authorized Mamiya Service Center or ask your camera shop for advice.
