5. LEVER USE 

 
The PCS ARSAT-

В

 4,5/55 (for 

К

IEV-88 and SALUT) lenses are equipped with a special lever which is installed in the tripod socket 

of the KIEV-88 camera and allows the release of the shutter in those cases when the camera’s release button is overlapped by the 
shifted lens. 

 

6. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE RULES 

 
The camera lens is a complicated optical device and it requires careful operation and maintenance. Protect it against impacts, 

sudden fluctuations in temperature and also against dust and moisture. 

Upon entrance into a warm room from outside frost do not open the lens immediately. Let it warm up to prevent condensation on 

the optical surfaces. 

Remove dust and moisture from the lens with a soft brush, cloth, or a wad of cotton wool wetted in ether-spirit mixture. 

Note: During inspection it can be found out that some lenses may have small bubbles in the glass, insignificant scratches 

and fluffs which do not in any way affect image quality and have been accepted by the standard.
