•Should your camera be accidently dropped on the floor or in water, take it to your dealer immediately for servicing. Thorough servicing can be guaranteed only at an authorized dealer.

•Always store the camera in an ever-ready case or compartment case when not in use. And be sure that the lens cap is attached to the lens. Do not leave film in the camera for a long period of time, and never store the camera with the shutter or self-timer cocked.

•Never lubricate any part of the camera. Lubrication should be left to an authorized service center. Prior to a holiday trip or important shooting assignment, test your camera (including changing batteries, if necessary) for proper operation.

•Observe normal battery handling procedures for maximum perform- ance at all times. Be sure to: Clean batteries periodically (wiping with a rough cloth will remove residues that might otherwise impede per- formance); install batteries properly, checking for proper polarity; remove batteries when not using the equipment for an extended peri- od; change weak batteries promptly to prevent leakage within the camera; store unused batteries properly (in a cool, dry location) to maximize service life; dispose of batteries properly (do not burn); and keep out of the reach of children. For details regarding battery per- formance, refer to the original manufacturer.
