Specifications

· Batteries should always be removed when the camera is not be used for an extended time. Keep them in a cool, dry
place. Leaving batteries in the camera for long periods may result in leakage which could damage the internal
mechanisms.
· Always keep batteries out of the reach of children and never throw used batteries into a fire or expose to excessive
heat.
· When going on trips be sure to carry spare batteries to ensure that the camera will function. Also, as batteries tend to
temporarily malfunction at temperatures below freezing, when photographing in extremely cold climates, carry spares
kept in a warm pocket to ensure continued operation should those in the camera malfunction. (The performance of
batteries which malfunction due to cold will return to normal when batteries are exposed again to room temperature
for several hours).
Batteries Replacement
When replacing batteries, use 1.5V alkaline batteries LR44 or silver oxide batteries SR44 (Eveready S-76, UCAR S-
76, Ray-O-Vac RS-76, Mallory MS-76, or equivalent).
Although 1.3V mercury batteries are the same shape and size, they will not operate the camera normally. 4www.but kus.org
Either alkaline or silver oxide batteries may be used as replacement, but always replace both together and do not mix
brand and types, also, never mix old and new batteries.
Handling Cautions
Be sure that the shutter release button isn't pressed down when carrying the camera or when putting it away as the
LED display will stay on and drain the batteries.
The depth of the tripod socket is 2-3/16 in. (5.5mm). If a tripod is used with a mount screw longer than this, the
internal mechanisms of the camera may be damaged. Do not use excessive force when mounting the camera on a
tripod.
Avoid strong vibration and shock since this may cause adverse influence on the delicately adjusted parts of the
camera. Be careful not to drop the camera or allow it to strike against objects.
Do not keep the camera for extended periods where temperature is above 100 F (40 C) or below 5 F (-15 C), or where
there is excessive humidity or salt in the air. The camera mechanism or film can also be damaged if the camera is left
for a long time in a place where there is naphthalene or formalene gas. Always store color film at the designated
temperature.
Never touch the surface of the mirror or lens with the hands. Any dust should be blown off with a blower or wiped off
by lightly applying a soft cloth. Be especially sure to never rub the surface of the mirror.
Always clean the camera carefully after photographing at the beach or other place where there is salt in the air. Clean
the many plastic parts by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth. Never use solvents when cleaning.
Inspect the camera periodically when it is not being used. Be sure to inspect moving parts before trying to take
important photographs. This includes the film advance and shutter operation, electronic flash synchronization, etc.
Test shots should also be taken if possible to discover any irregularities that may exist. (Incidental damage which
results in this camera malfunctioning will not be compensated.) Do not try to repair or lubricate the camera if some
irregularity is discovered. Leave this to your Mamiya dealer.
