PROPER

CARE

OF

THE

CAMERA

A Cleaning the Camera

and

Lens

Use

a camel

hair

or

blower

brush

to

clean

the

film

cartridge chamber and

the

area

around

the

mult

i-

slot

take-up spool

before

loading

film

into

the

camera.

Also,

use

the

brush

to

whisk

away

dirt

and

dust

from

the eyepiece and

the

front

and rear surfaces

of

the

lens.

If

salt

water

spray

or

fingerprints

inadvertently

get

on

the

lens,

they

should

be cleaned

off

as

soon

as

possible using

commercially-available

cleaning tissue

and a good

quality

lens cleaning

liquid

.

Put

one

or

two

drops

of

cleaning

liquid

on

the

tissue, and

lightly

wipe

the

lens

in

a .

circular

motion

from

the

center

toward

the

outer

edges .

Do

not

use

a

handkerchief

or

other

cloth,

as

the

lens elements

may be

permanently

scratched.

If

you

cannot

remove

dust

particles

from

the

surface

of

the

instant-

return

mirror

simply

by

brushing,

you

should

not

attempt

to

clean

the

mirror

yourself

with

tissue and

cleaning

liquid

.

Only

an

authorized

serviceman

should

undertake

this

delicate task.

Actually

dirt

on

the

mirror

has

absolutely

no

effect

on

the

quality

of

your

photographs.

B Storing the Camera

If

the

camera

will

not

be used

for

an

extended length

of

time,

leave the

shutter

uncocked

and remove the

mercury

batteries. Take

the

camera

out

of

its

eveready

case

and

wrap

it

up

in a clean,

soft

towel

together

with

silica gel

or

some

other

desiccant

to

keep

it

dry

.

C

Using the Camera

in

Extremely

Cold Conditions

In severely

cold

weather

(down

to

_20

° C

or

_4

°

F),

you

should

keep

the

Canon EF inside

your

coat

and

expose

it

to

the

outer

air

only

when

you

are ready

to

take a pi

cture.

This

procedure

is

necessary

primarily

to

keep

the

mercury

batteries

warm.

Since

the

film

gets

brittle

at

low

temperatures,

perform

film

wind-

ing and

rewinding

as

slowly

as

possible.

D Having the Camera Serviced

You

should

never

attempt

to

disassemble

or

repair

the Canon EF

yourself!

If

the camera

ceases

to

function

properly,

it

should

be serviced

by

an

authorized

Canon repair facil i

ty

.

See

your

local

camera dealer

for

further

details.

Fold

out

both

front

and

back

nomenclature

pages

for

easy reference

when

reading

the

instructions.
