• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than reflect light, such as hair or fur
• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame

COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE

CAMERA CARE

1. Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not get it wet or drop it. Also, do not expose it to sand.
2. Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or other similar electronic products. These straps are usually too weak to hold your camera securely. For safety, use only straps designed for your camera, and use only as specifi cally intended and instructed.
3. When using a tripod, check the strength of the tripod and then mount the camera by turning the tripod instead of the camera body. When mounting the camera to a tripod, be sure not to turn the tripod screw excessively, apply unreasonable force, etc. Also, do not carry the camera while it is mounted to the tripod. Personal injury or camera damage may result.
4. If you are not using your camera for a long period, unload the battery and keep it where it will be safe from heat, dust, and moisture.
5. Do not use solvent such as thinner and alcohol to remove dirt.
6. Keep the fi lm chamber and camera interior clean to avoid damaging fi lms.
7. In hot weather, do not leave your camera in hot places such as in a car or on the beach. Do not leave it in damp places for long periods.
8. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene may aff ect your camera and prints. Be careful to keep your camera or prints in a chest or bureau.
9. Because your camera is software-controlled, there is the chance that on rare occasions it will malfunction. If you experience incorrect operation, reset by removing the batteries and then reloading them after a while.
10. Note that the temperature range within which your camera can be used is +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F).
11. Take great care to ensure that printed materials do not violate copyright, image rights, privacy or other personal rights and do not off end public decency. Actions that violate the rights of others, are contrary to public decency or constitute a nuisance may be punishable by law or otherwise legally actionable.

Cautions during printing

INSTAX SQUARE FILM AND PRINT CARE

See FUJIFILM Instant Film "instax SQUARE" for film use instructions. Follow all instructions for safe and proper use.

1. Keep the film in a cool and dry place. Do not leave the film in a place where the temperature is extremely high (e.g., in a closed car) for many hours.
2. When you load a film pack, use the film as soon as possible.
3. If the film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low, bring it to room temperature before starting to print pictures.
4. Be sure to use the film before the expiration or "Use Before" date.
