Refer any servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Handle the camera with care.
Protect the precision made lens by plac-
ing the lens cap over when the camera is
not in use. If the lens is not installed, pro-
tect the surface of the prism by placing
the body cap into the lens mount hole.
Use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue
designed for coated lenses, to clean the
surface of the lens or prism in the event
that it should become dirty.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is
dirty. In case the dirt is hard to remove,
use mild detergent and wipe gently.
Use caution when operating the camera
in the vicinity of spot lights or bright lights,
as well as light reflecting objects and sur-
faces.
Take immediate action if ever the camera
should become wet. Turn the power off
and have the unit checked by an autho-
rized service facility.
Follow normal safety precaution to avoid
personal injury.
Use the camera in an environment where
the temperature is within 32°F – +104°F
(0°C – +40°C), and the relative humidity
is within 30% – 90% (no condensation).
Always turn the power off when the cam-
era is not going to be used. Operate the
camera only when there is adequate ven-
tilation.
Cooling fan
There is internally provided a cooling fan.
Since the cooling fan is a consumable part,
replace it after about 50,000 hours of op-
eration.
(Be sure to ask the dealer for the replace-
ment.)
Do not attempt to disassemble the cam-
era or other units. In order to prevent elec-
tric shock, do not remove screws or cov-

ment in wet conditions. Do not operate the

Do not operate the camera outdoors dur-
ing a lightning storm.
Do not use the camera in an extreme en-
vironment where high temperatures or
