TIPS ON CAMERA CARE -----------

Although the F3AF is a tough and durable camera, bear in mind that it is a precision optical instrument and that careless or rough handling may damage it. Observe the following tips, and the F3AF will always work as perfectly as the day you bought it.

-Before using the camera, it is a good practice to check it thoroughly first.

-Clean metallic parts with a blower brush or with a dry, soft cloth .

-Do not force your camera'scon· trols-they are designed to work with a minimum of pres· sure.

-Generally, the camera does not need lubrication. To keep your F3AF in top working order, it is recommended that you trip the shutter and operate the film advance lever a few times each month with or without film load· ed in the camera.

-Do not touch the AF contacts@, reflex mirror @ or the focusing screen to prevent them from getting dirty or scratched. Re· move dust with a blower brush.

-If the camera body is exposed to rain or mist, wipe moisture gently with a soft cloth and dry the camera. After using the camera near salt water, take care that you wipe it with a cloth mOistened with pure water to remove possible traces of salt.
