Proper Care of the Camera

Your A-1 is a rugged, high-quality camera. It

will work properly if operated and cared for

properly. Never force anything. If you have

a problem that is not answered in the in

structions below, follow the advice of your

nearest Canon serviceman. We recommend

taking the A-1 to an authorized Canon

service facility at least once every three years

for a complete checkup.

Storage

The best thing you can do for your A-1 is to

use it regularly, but in the event that it

won’t be used for quite a while, first remove

it from any camera bag or soft case. Then

remove the battery to prevent possible cor

rosion to the terminals. Recap the lens, and

if the body is stored separately from the

lens, put the body cap and the rear lens cap

on. Wrap it in a clean" soft cloth along with

silica gel or some other desiccant to keep it

dry, and store it in a cool, dry, dust-free

place. Avoid storing it in the rear window,

glove compartment or other “hot spots’’ of

an automobile, in a place such as a labora

tory where chemicals could cause corrosion

and rust, or in a dusty, damp, or hot place.

Keep it out of direct sunlight. Before using

the A-1 after it has been stored for a long
