The normal operating temperature range for the RTS ll
Quartz is between + 50 and - 20 degrees centigrade but ex-
posure to sudden temperature changes should be
avoided. When the camera is suddenly brought into a warm room
after shooting in cold areas or in wintry hills, there is a danger of
condensation forming on the exterior and interior surfaces of the
camera. On the other hand, when the camera is taken from a
warm room and suddenly exposed to cold outdoor temperatures,
its surfaces can become fogged just as glass windows do on
cold days, and can cause freezing of any condensation inside the
camera. In either case, if camera care is neglected it could lead
to corrosion of the camera mechanism. Do not subject your
camera to sudden changes in temperature -
be sure to allow
the camera to gradually adjust to
sudden temperature changes.
It should be noted that in extreme cold weather areas, where the
camera's battery has been temporarily affected by a low
temperature, there are times when optimum camera oerfor-
mance may not be obtain able even though the surrounding
temperature is within the camera's operating range geven above.

.
Avoid leaving the camera in the direct sun, glove or luggage
compartment, rear seat shelf of car and other hot spots as it may
adversely affect the film, battery or camera system and result in
rmproper exposure. lf the camera has been exoosed to excessive
heat, allow it to cool to normal temperature before use.
.
Take care to keep the camera clean when using it at the
seashore, in the mountains and in the rain. Airborne salt. sand.
dirt and other foreign matter will damage the camera's internal
system if allowed to penetrate inside.
r
Avoid touching the lens, viewfinder eyepiece and other glass
surfaces with your fingers. Blow dust and dirt away from these
surfaces with a blower brush, or wipe genily with a soft cloth
(after brushing) if necessary. Clean smudges and smears on lens
and mirror surfaces with high quality lens-cleaning solution and
tissue. Always take extra care in cleaning the lens and mirror
surfaces to avoid scratching.
o Always be sure to make a functional check of the camera
when going to take those important shots (wedding, travel,
business photos, etc.)
r
lt should be noted that when print films are processed,
standard service-size prints will show an area slighily less than
that seen on the negatives.

When certain brands of commercially available filters are used
with Zeiss T* lenses, there is a possibility of cutting off the
corners of the image. For this reason we strongly recommend
the use of the Contax brand filter with all Zeiss T* lenses used on
your camera.
