Taking care of your camera
Your Rolleiflex Hy6 deserves the same care as
any precision instrument expected to give reli-
able service for many years to come. Here are a
few useful tips:
» NEVER touch the reflex mirror or the surfaces
of focusing screens with your bare fingers!
Use a blower lens brush to remove dust.
» DO NOT exert pressure on the auxiliary shut-
ter of the camera!
» When necessary, clean outer lens surfaces:
Breathe on them and clean with lens tissue.
Antistatic protection: Breathe on the surface
and let the moisture evaporate.
» Protect your camera against the long-term
effects of noxious vapors and humidity.
» Store your camera in a cool and dry place. In
humid climate, the camera should be stored
in an air-tight enclosure in the presence of
a desiccant. High humidity in tropical and
subtropical areas is liable to cause corrosion
of metal components and fungus growth on
glass surfaces.
» Take special care to protect your camera
against any kind of dust.
