* Use lens cleaning tissue and liquid to clean the surface of the lens. Do not use silicon-
coated cloth for this purpose, as it will prove detrimental to the lens coating.
* Clean the plastic focusing screen in the same manner. Don't touch the surface as you may
leave fingerprints.
* Do not wipe the lacquered exterior of the main body, etc., with a lens cleaner, alcohol, thin-
ner, etc., but limit cleaning to wiping with a silicon coated cloth or a clean soft cloth.
* Protect your camera from temperature changes which can result in moisture condensa-
tion, frost, etc., inside the body, leading to rusting of metallic parts.
* Protect your camera from impact and vibrations, too.
* Always protect the lens with its cover, when carrying the camera.
* Clean the camera and lens very carefully after using it outdoors in wet weather or at the
seashore.
* Wipe the camera carefully with a well-wrung damp cloth, using fresh water, if the exterior
is affected by salty air. Then, wipe it dry with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, send it out for a
quick inspection at an authorized repair station.
* If the equipment is not being used for a long period of time, store everything in tin-lined
containers, with plenty of desiccant, such as silica gel. Finally, store the equipment in a cool,
dry and well-ventilated (but not windy) place.
* Restrict cleaning of the reflex mirror to blowing or brushing with the blower brush or a
soft camel hair brush. Don't touch the surface with your fingers or a cloth.
* Do not thread too strongly, when using a longer-than-usual tripod screw, as you may dam-
age the body.
* Upon attaching the film back, always pull out the dark slide from its slit.
