SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
1. The Photo Sniper Camera and its accessories are delicate, precise, photo-
graphic equipment and should be handled carefully and kept clean and dry
to avoid damage. When not in use, keep the Camera and its accessories in
their Carrying Case (79). Dust and moisture can damage the equipment.
2. To avoid sweating on the optical parts, do not remove the Camera or its
accessories from its Carrying Case (79) immediately when it is brought
indoors from the cold. Allow sufficient time for the Camera and its accessories
to warm up to room temperature in the closed Carrying Case.
3. Do not touch the optical parts of the Camera or its accessories with your
fingers; doing so may damage their multilayer coating. If necessary,
clean the Lenses (31, 78) with professional lens cleaning products. Do not clean
with moist cleaning agents.
4. When not in use, always cover the Lenses (31, 78) with their Lens Caps.

5. When not in use, the Camera’s Shutter (48) should be released. Do not keep
the Shutter cocked for a long period of time. Do not attempt to rotate the Shutter
Speed Dial (46) in a short interval between the positions “500” and “B”. Do not
rotate the Shutter Speed Dial when setting the Film Rewind Knob (49) in the “T”
position and when the Self-Timer (35) is running.
6. To prevent dust and dirt from getting on the surfaces of the optical parts
and into the Camera, remove the Lens (31) only when necessary.
7. Always load and unload the Camera’s Film (not included) in shade or in-
doors. Avoid direct sunlight.
8. The Camera’s Exposure Meter will not operate without Batteries (not in-
cluded). When not in use over a long period, the Film Rewind Knob (49) should
not be in its “V” position to avoid premature discharging of the Batteries. During
long intervals between taking pictures (weeks, months), removing the Batteries
from the Camera is recommended.
9. Because the Photo Sniper Camera is a complex device, any repair and
adjustments should be performed only by a highly qualified specialist.
