QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CAMERA MAINTENANCE Q:How long will the batteries last? A: Two new 3V lithium batteries will last for roughly 20 rolls of 24exposure film on which the flash was used on half of all the shots (determined under Olympus test conditions). If you do not use the flash and zoom very often, the batteries will last much longer. Q:How should I store the camera? A: Cameras are susceptible to damage caused by dust, moisture, and salt. Wipe and dry the camera thoroughly before storing it. After using it at the beach, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with fresh water and then wrung out. Do not use mothballs. Q: When does the camera measure and set the exposure? A: When the shutter release button is pressed halfway, the camera measures both the exposure and the focus and then locks them as long as the shutter release button 54 remains halfway depressed. In the Spot Metering mode, the exposure is locked when the spot button is pressed Q:How should I clean the lens? A: Wipe the lens gently with lens cleaning tissue that has been moistened with a small amount of lens cleaning fluid. Q:Can l use a filter? A: Yes, you can. Use one with a diameter of 52 mm. When you use a thick one, like a C-POL (circularpolarizing) filter, the edges of the picture plane sometimes become dark or the lens cap may not close. Make sure to turn off the power before mounting or removing a filter. When doing so, even with the power off, sometimes the lens rotates and the motor operates. This is not a malfunction. Q:Can I use infrared film? A: No.
