Minolta X-700 User Manual download pdf (Page 10)

Your Minolta X-700 is a high-precision instrument

designed to give many years of trouble-free picture

taking if used and cared for properly. The precautions

you should follow for keeping the camera in good

operating condition are given below and at various

places throughout the text.

• Always keep your camera in its case with the lens

capped when not in use, or with a body cap on when a

lens is not attached.

• No part of the X-700 should be forced at any time.

If operation is not as you think it should be, carefully

restudy the applicable instructions or consult an

authorized Minolta service facility.

• Never subject your camera to shock, high heat

and/or humidity, water, or harmful chemicals. Be

particularly careful not to leave it in the glove

compartment or other places in motor vehicles where

it may be subject to high temperatures.

• Never lubricate any part of the body or lens.

• Never touch the shutter curtains or the front inside

part of the body with fingers or other objects or blow

against them, as doing so might damage the alignment

and movement of either the curtains or mirror.

• External camera and lens barrel — but not glass —

surfaces should be wiped with a soft, silicone-treated

cloth now and then, especially after using the camera

near salt water.

• It is recommended to have your camera cleaned

once per year at an authorized Minolta service facility.

Lens-care instructions are given on pages 10 and 11.

If you will not be using your camera for an extended

period, see the storage instructions at the back of the

manual.

If you have questions concerning operation of your

camera or about photography, feel free to contact

your local Minolta agent or distributor by writing one

of the offices listed inside the back cover.

CAUTION

• Before using lenses, flashes, or other accessories

made by companies other than Minolta, attach them

to the camera to make sure they function properly

and take test photographs if necessary.
