Caring for the Leaf AFi Digital Camera System
Caring for the Leaf AFi Digital Camera System
The Leaf AFi digital camera system is a sensitive, high-precision optical instrument.
Handle your camera system with care and in compliance with the care instructions
provided here.
When using the camera system, follow the guidelines outlined in this section.
CAUTION: With the exception of the removal of the digital camera back and lenses,
never open or disassemble the Leaf AFi digital camera system parts, in particular the
protective infrared (IR) filter glass. Any arbitrary opening of the Leaf AFi digital camera
system casing nullifies the warranty. No liability will be assumed for personal injury
or equipment damage resulting from opening the casing.
Temperature and Humidity
Do not expose the Leaf AFi digital camera system to extreme temperature
conditions, below 0°C/32°F or above 40°C/104°F.
Do not expose the Leaf AFi digital camera system to extreme humidity. Operate
the Leaf AFi digital camera system only when the relative humidity is between
15% to 85%.
High temperatures and extreme humidity can lead to damage. Do not store the
Leaf AFi digital camera system in high temperature, humid, or dusty conditions.
Do not leave the camera system in a car where the temperatures can get very high.
Exposure to Water
The Leaf AFi digital camera system is not waterproof and is not suitable for underwater
photography. Avoid operating the camera system around water.
If there is water on the camera system, gently wipe it away with a dry, soft, wood-
free tissue.
If the camera system has been exposed to saline air, wipe the casing with
a lightly-moistened tissue.
Condensation can impair the camera system operation, and can lead to irreparable
damage. In order to avoid condensation, do not expose the camera system to rapidly
changing environment temperatures. Store the camera system in a sealed
plastic bag.
If your camera system has been exposed to condensation, remove the lens, digital
camera back, and battery from the camera body. Do not use the camera system until
the condensation has completely evaporated.
Exposure to Magnetic Fields
CAUTION: The Leaf AFi digital camera system contains a magnet. Be advised that
magnetic fields may cause damage to watches, the magnetic strips of cards, and so on.
Avoid magnetic fields. Do not use the Leaf AFi digital camera system near devices
that produce a high electro-magnetic field. Strong magnetic fields can damage the
camera functions or destroy recorded data.
