CAMERACARE
Good camera care is primarily common sense care.
Treat
your Nikkormat as you would any valuable
precision
instrument and it will last
a
lifetime.
Although the Nikkormat is ruggedly constructed to
withstand rough handling, it may be damaged by
shock, heat, water or misuse. The following
are
some
basic tips for keeping your camera in top condition.
Camera Body
Brush the inside of the camera periodically using a
soft brush. Do not exert pressure on the shutter cur-
tain as this may damage it.
Keep the mirror free from fingerprints
and
dust.
Lens
Keep the lens
surface
free from fingerprints
and
dust
as
far
as
possible.
Use lens tissue to remove dust, never use cloth
or
ordinary tissue.
If
smudges or fingerprints
appear,
clean them with
lens tissue moistened sparingly with
alcohol.
Remember, even
an
approved lens cleaner
can
cause
damage if it seeps into the lens mount.

Storage
Keep the camera in an eveready case or compartment
case wheJl not in use to
protect
it from
dust.
Avoid storing the camera in excessively hot, cold or
damp places.
Always attach a
body
cap when the camera body is
stored separately.
Do not leave film in the camera for a
long period
of
time
.
Never leave the shutter or self-timer cocked if the
camera is to be stored overnight or longer.
Keep the camera
away
from water.
Avoid excessive moisture. When using the
camera
near
water, guard against
splashes,
especially
salt-water
spray.
Never oil any part of the camera. Lubrication should
be left to an
authorized
serviceman.
'Prior
to taking
a
holiday trip or being
assigned an
im-
portant photo job, test
your
camera by making
a few
trial exposures. Remember, it
takes
at
least
two or
three weeks
for
processing the test film
and
making
any
needed repairs
or adjustment.
Follow
this
impor-
tant precaution
and you
will have pictures to
remember.
