1.Maintenance
When maintaining and cleaning the camera and
accessories, pay careful attention to the following notes
and tips:
• Always disconnect the camera from the power supply.
• Clean the camera and accessories only on a clean and
flat surface which is covered with foam material or a
clean, lint-free cloth.
• Under no circumstances use acetone or nitro-thinner.
These chemicals dissolve the paint and can damage
highly-polished surfaces and plastic parts.
• For cleaning, the use of soft, lint-free cloths and swabs
is recommended. Also suitable are special cleaning
tissues and small sponges as used in cleaning
computers and video equipment.
• When cleaning the film movement, do not exert too
much pressure. Use only the prescribed special tools.
Use only good quality screwdrivers of the correct size.
• From time to time – at the very least after the
occurrence of a film jam – it is recommended to clean
the entire interior of the camera and also the magazine
throat and the film gate with a brush. In most cases it is
sufficient to vacuum out dust and film chips from the
camera and the magazine interiors. A small battery-
powered vacuum cleaner, as used in cleaning
computers, is suitable for this task.
