When the camera is not used for a long period of time,

remove the battery and any film from the camera.

Avoid storing the camera for prolonged periods of time

in a damp or salty atmosphere. (Color film should be

stored at the manufacturer’s recommended tempera-

tures.)

Since cameras are precision instruments, avoid shocks

and rough handling.

When camera and lens are stored for a long time,
periodically exercise the shutter(s) at various speeds

and also turn the lens diaphragms.
Cleaning

Never touch the surface coated mirror. Clean dust

particles with a blower and optical surfaces with lens

cleaning tissue and lens cleaner.

Periodic Check

Periodically check the camera to make sure that it is in

good working order, especially before an important

assignment. Check the battery, flash synchronization,
mirror and shutter movement, film advance, diaphragm

operation, etc.

Should any malfunction occur or if the camera has
been dropped, jarred or become wet, do not attempt to

fix it yourself but send it to the Service Department of

your Mamiya distributor.
