However fine a camera is, it cannot function

optimally unless it is correctly taken care of.

Please observe the following practices to keep
it in best possible operating condition.

brush to periodically remove dust, which will
otherwise smudge the film, from the film gate
on the inner lefthand side of the film com­

fingerprints should accidentally appear on the

lens, use the blower brush and then wipe it

recommended for cleaning the body only. Salt

and sand are the camera's worst enemies.

Clean it well after using it on the beach.

camera in a dry place free from dust. You
