<About the Camera Plate / Camera Case (Leather)>
Rain and other forms of moisture are harmful to leather. Do not store the camera in humid locations or where
mold is likely to form.
Do not store the camera in locations exposed to high temperature or heat sources.
Do not apply volatile substances such as benzene or thinners to the camera.
Do not wipe the camera with water.
If the camera gets wet, remove any moisture by pressing lightly with a soft dry cloth and then place the
camera in a well ventilated location so that it is exposed to moving air.
Water drops and sweat can cause staining.
The higher the leather quality, the greater the likelihood of color seepage. Take care that color does not run
onto your clothes, etc.
When using a lens cleaner, keep the cleaner away from the leather.

<Storing the Camera>
Do not place the camera in places that may be exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time
(the beach in summer, a closed car under bright sun, etc.). Such high temperatures may cause adverse
affects or damage to the camera, batteries, or memory cards.
Remove the battery pack before storing the camera for extended periods of time, to prevent battery leakage
and resulting damage.
For best performance, we recommend the use of genuine Contax accessories. Contax is not
responsible for any accidents or damage caused by the use of accessories made by other
manufacturers or fashioned by the user.
This camera incorporates a safety circuit to protect its microcomputer against strong external static
electricity. Though rare, it may fail to function because this safety circuit has come into action.
In this case, turn off the camera’s power, remove the batteries, reload them and use the camera
again.
F
CAUTION
Store the camera in a well-ventilated location, avoiding damp or dusty areas,
drawers or boxes containing mothballs, or in laboratories or other locations
where chemicals are handled. Exposure to such chemical fumes can result in
damage to the camera’s circuitry, resulting in short circuits and causing the
camera to emit smoke or catch fire.
