in a similar shape.

To install

Your 110 Zoom camera or f ilm car-

tridges for it should never be kept in
direct sunlight or left in the glove com-
partment or other places in motor vehi-
cles or elsewhere in which they may be
subject to relatively h igh temperatures.
They should also not be exposed to
moisture, shock, chemicals, or corrosive
co nd it ions.
. The camera should be examined and
cleaned f rom time to time in normal use.
lf it has been exposed to dust, dirt, or
corrosive conditions (such as salt spray,
etc., it should be cleaned as soon as
possible after such exposure.
Avoid touching glass lens and finder-
eyepiece surfaces with the fingers. lf
necessary, blow away loose matter from
them or use a bellows lens brush. Then
use special photographic lens tissue or a
soft clean cloth to remove smudges or
fingerprints with a gentle circular

tissue may be moistened very slightly
with not more than one drop of a
satisfactory quick-evaporating fluid
cleaner specially compounded for coated
photographic lenses. Like other fluids_
these must never be dropped directly on
the glass surface.
Other external parts of the camera may
be wiped with a silicone-treated cloth. 27
Alcohol or other chemicals or solvents
should never be allowed tg contact it.
and no part should ever be lubricated.
The electric-e\re lens and the inside of
the camera may be cleaned by holding
the camera at an angle so that dust will
fall out and then whisking the surfaces
with a bellows lens brush.
When the camera is n6t to be used for
more than two weeks, be sure to remove
the batteries to avoid the possibility of
corrosio n.
Keep your camera in a cool, dry place
away from dust or chemicals. Placing it l
l
in the optional soft case may help to
protect it.
lf the camera is to be stored for an
extended period, it would be best to
return it to its original pack ing and seal
it in an airtight container (such as a
heavy or double plastic bag) along with a
small bag of a drying agent (such as silica
get).
