Caring for Your Camera

Your Argus camera is a precision instrument. Proper care will ensure years of

quality performance.

•Avoid exposing your camera to extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure

will adversely affect the camera’s internal components.

•Keep camera dry.

•To clean the lens surface, first blow away any dust or sand, then, if

necessary, moisten a lens tissue or soft cloth with lens cleaning fluid and

gently wipe the lens. DO NOT attempt to wipe away sand or dirt particles as

this may scratch the lens’ surface.

•Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.

•Store your camera in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area free of dust and

chemicals.

•When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the batteries.
