Camera Care • When not using the flash unit for an extended period, test flash it occasionally to help maintain capacitor performance. • When the glass surfaces of the viewfinder or the lens are smudged with fingerprint stains or other marks, promptly clean them by lightly wiping them with some lens-cleaning tissue, moistened with lens-cleaning solution. Remove dirt and dust from these surfaces with a blower brush. • In hot summer months, do not leave the camera where it will get too hot - such as the beach, in the trunk and interior compartments of a car - as it can adversely affect film and battery performance, and evey possibly damage the camera mechanism itself. • Give your camera a good cleaning after using it in the mountains or the seaside. If neglected, salt air can corrode camera parts; while sand, dirt and other foreign matter can damage the camera's internal mechanism. • The camera houses a high voltage circuit which can be a shock hazard. Thus, when the camera malfunctions, never attempt to dismantle the camera on your own. Battery Precautions • When not using the camera for an extended period, be sure to remove the batteries. This will avoid damage from battery leakage. • Generally, batteries will perform less satisfactorily in cold temperatures. Thus, when shooting in extreme cold, take such measures that will help keep your batteries warm or carry a spare set of batteries with you. One advisable method would be to keep the batteries warm inside your pocket. • Staining of battery terminals with sweat or grease can result in poor electrical contact. Wipe the terminals with a dry cloth before putting the batteries into service. 32
