Camera Care

WARNING

NEVER use organic solvents such as thinner or benzene near the F6.

Doing so could cause a fire or health hazard, and damage the camera.

Do not use

•Cleaning camera body

Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the camera body and clean it with a soft, clean cloth. After using the camera near seawater, wipe the camera body with a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with pure water to remove salt, and then dry it with a dry cloth.

•Cleaning mirror and lens

Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the mirror or lens. To remove fingerprints or smudges from the lens’ surface, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner.

•Do not subject the camera or lens to strong vibration or shock

Do not drop the camera body and lens or allow them to impact against a hard surface as this may damage their precision mechanisms.

•Do not touch the shutter curtains

The shutter is made of very thin curtains. Do not hold, poke, or blow strongly with a blower brush. Doing so may scratch, deform or tear the shutter curtains.

•Avoid strong electric or magnetic fields

The camera may not function properly in strong electric or magnetic fields, such as near a transmitter tower. Avoid using the camera in such locations.

•Store the camera in a cool, dry place

Store the camera in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew.

Keep it away from naphthalene or camphor (moth repellent), electrical appliances that generate magnetic fields, or excessive heat such as inside a vehicle during the summer or near a heater.

•Avoid extreme temperature change

Extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the camera body. When taking the camera to a very hot place from a very cold place, or vice versa, place it inside an airtight container such as a plastic bag and leave it inside the bag for a while to expose the camera gradually to the temperature change.
