2.2.2 Advice for the Prevention of Damages to the Camera
Avoid strong magnetic fields.
Strong magnetic fields can damage the camera functions or destroy the
recorded data. Do not use the camera nearby devices that produce high electro-
magnetic fields (e.g. magnets or electric motors).
Avoid contact with sand, dust, toxic gas, water etc.
This can lead to a failure of the camera. If water is on the surface of the camera
or the lens, please wipe it away with a dry and soft, wood free tissue. When the
camera has been exposed to saline air, the casing has to be wiped with a slightly
moistened tissue.
If extension rings are used with the camera, please do not establish or release
the connection between the ring and the lens as long as the intermediate ring is
attached to the camera. Always remove the ring from the camera first, and then
remove the lens from the ring.
Do not touch the internal parts of the camera.
The camera contains highly sensitive electronic component parts and circuits.
Please do not touch the internal parts of the camera while the lens is removed.
Especially, do not touch the mirror and the light-absorbing coating.
When the film magazine or the digital back are removed from the camera,
please make sure that the auxiliary shutter lying exposed is not subject to any
mechanical pressure. Please use the protective cover when the camera back or
film magazine is detached from the camera.
Do not touch the sensor in the digital back. Please use the protective cover
when the back is detached from the camera.
Do not use the camera under water.
The camera is not waterproof, and therefore may not be used for submarine
photography.
Prevent the occurrence of condensation water.
Do not expose the camera to rapidly changing environment temperatures. In
this way, the occurrence of condensation water outside and inside of the
camera can be prevented. Condensation water can lead to damage of the
camera components, and can impair the camera operation. When
condensation is caused due to rapidly changing environment temperatures,
the lens has to be detached from the camera body and the battery, and the
camera back or film magazine have to be removed. Do not use the camera
until the condensation water has evaporated completely.
To prevent the occurrence of condensation water, place the camera in a
sealed plastic bag. Do not take the camera out until it has accommodated to
the new environment temperature.
