• Ensure that the power socket used is freely accessible.
• The car charging cable supplied must never be connected while

Notes:
• The battery must have a temperature of +10°to +30°C to be
charged (otherwise the charger will not turn on, or will turn off
again).
• Lithium ion batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of
their current charge level. If a battery is only partly discharged when
charging starts, it is charged to full capacity faster.

• Dispose of damaged batteries in accordance with the relevant
regulations (see p. 6, 54) at an approved collection point for proper
recycling.
• The replaceable battery provides power to a back-up battery which
is permanently tted in the camera. This back-up battery retains

periods, you should charge the battery for approx. 15 minutes
roughly twice a year to avoid a deep discharge.
• Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through internal chemical reactions. These reactions are also in uenced by the
ambient temperature and humidity. To ensure a maximum service
life of the battery, it should not be exposed to constant extremes of
temperature (e.g. in a parked car in the summer or winter).
• Even when used under optimum conditions, every battery has a

or e posed to vibrations.
• For safety, memory cards should only ever be stored in the antistatic cover supplied.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high
temper tures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static discharge.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this can damage them and
result in loss of the stored data.
• Always remove the memory cards if you will not be using the Sinarback S 30|45 for a longer period of time.
• Do not touch the connections on the memory card and keep them
free of dirt, dust and moisture.
• It is recommended that the memory cards are reformatted from
time to time, as fragmentation occurs when deleting, which can
block some of the memory capacity.
c. Take out the battery (see p. 11), (the entered time and date are lost
after max. 3 months, see p. 20).
• A lens acts like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on the
front of the camera. The camera must therefore never be set aside
in strong sunlight without protection. Using the lens cover and
keeping the camera in the shade (or immediately putting it away in
the case) help to prevent damage to the interior of the camera.

where neither high temperatures nor high humidity will occur. When

Important:
• Sinar Photography AG accepts no liability for damage caused by
the user when cleaning the sensor.
• Do not attempt to blow dust particles off the sensor cover glass
using your mouth; even tiny droplets of saliva can cause marks that
are difficult to remove.
• Compressed air cleaners with high gas pressure may not be used
as they can also cause damage.
• Take care to avoid touching the sensor surface with a hard object
during inspection and cleaning.
pletely free of all moisture before being stored away.
• Photo cases that became wet during use should be emptied to
prevent damage to your equipment caused by moisture and any
leather-tanning residue released.
• To prevent fungal growth during use in hot, humid tropical climates,
the camera equipment should not be kept in air-tight containers
for longer than absolutely necessary. This is only recommended if a
desiccant such as silica gel is placed in the container
• To prevent the formation of fungus, do not store the Sinarback S
30|45 in a leather case for long periods of time.
• In a dry environment, store the Sinarback S 30|45 preferably in a
closed and padded container so that nothing can rub against it and
it is protected from dust.
• Note the serial numbers of your Sinarback S 30|45 and lenses, as
these are extremely important in case of loss.
Cleaning the sensor
If any dust or dirt particles should adhere to the sensor cover glass,
depending on the size of the particles this can be identified by dark
spots or marks on the pictures.
