TIPS
ON
CAMERA
CARE
1.
After using the camera
underwater,
rinse it in
fresh
water with the
camera back closed
and
the
lens
mounted.
When the
camera/lens
assembly
gets
dirty,
rinse
it
thoroughly
in fresh
water.
lmmediately
after using
it
in
salt
water,
rinse
it thoroughly
in f resh water to
remove any
residue. Otherwise,
corrosion
may occur
in
minute
places
like screw
holes or the
junctions
of
parts.
To
prevent
this, soak
the camera/lens
assembly
overnight
in a basin of
fresh water and
move
the external
parts
(for
instance, the film
advance
lever
C,
shutter speed/mode
selector
dial@,
ASA/lSO
film
speed
dial@,
and
so
on),
then
rinse
it vigorously
in running water.
Finally,
drythe
camera/lens
assemblywith a soft cloth-
never
by
heating-before
removing the
lens
from the
camera.
Be sure to
wipe away any
drops
of
water that
may
have
seeped
in
past
the
O-ring.
All underwater
Nikonos
accessories
should
be
handled in this
way.
2.
Never attempt
to change
lenses,
open
the
camera,
or
load/unload film
underwater.
3.
After shooting
in the
water
(especially,
in salt
water or
dirty water),
wipe any drops of
water
on
the
camera
body before
removing the film car-
tridge.
lf any drops
of water fall
into
the camera
when the
camera
back
is opened,
immediately
wipe them
off
.
4. Do
not
submerge
the
camera
in water
with
the
flash socket
cover
removed.
And when
using
the
Nikonos Speedlight,
make sure
the sync
cord
and sensor
cord
plugs
are
securely
attached
before
entering
the
water.
5.
Should the
lens or camera
body
accidentally
fall
into salt
water
during
loading
(or.at
any other
time
when the
interior
is exposed),
rinse
it im-
mediately
in f resh water and
take
the unit
to any
authorized
Nikon dealer
or service
center
as
soon
as
possible.
6.
lf
this
camera
is
frequently used
underwater
(especially
in
salt
water
or dirty
water),
make
it
a
rule to
take it to
a Nikon service
center on a
regular basis
for
an
inspection
of the
camera's
O-rings.
Doing so
will increase
the
camera's
performance
and
life
span.
7. Do not attempt
to rotate
the
focusing or
aperture
knobs beyond
their limits
of travel;
forcing these
knobs
will damage
the
lens
mechanism.
8.
The
LW-Nikkor
28mm
f12.8 is
water-resistant,
not waterproof,
and cannot
be submerged
in
water.
